Well there's your problem.

Blew it up at Laguna Seca. 193k miles. It was a good way to go.

I'll fully tear it down this weekend.

It went out on it's shield. A warrior's death. A good death.

Kind of funny, with the "it has been a pleasure to serve you" mat protector the engine is sitting on. A touch of irony.
