Just did a compression test, 60psi. I guess the motor has to come out, I'm assuming its headgasket or rings.

Bummer Dude! Sorry to hear that. I was wondering how you were making out yesterday, because I was out on my spree to meet a friend over in Dartmouth to go for a Honda ride. Her and I terrorized the city on our Hondas and I wondered if you had yours out on the road yet.

Nope,

The day I get her safetyed it died out on me, worked again fine then died again and wouldn't start back up. did the compression test and get the poor results. Worst part I am moving to porters lake and I no longer have a good sport to work on it, so now im probably stuck taking it to a shop to get repaired where I now lack the resources to get it going...well besides money lol.
