Happily set off for work today on Siegfried only for the bike to go BANG loudly and stop running. Took off the rocker box cover to find the exhaust valve has seized.
As Hermann Goering once said " Meine Herren, Sie haben mich nicht nur entauescht sondern verraten " ( To Luftwaffe chiefs including Adolf Galland upon realising the battle of Britain was lost )
Gentlemen, you have not only disappointed me, you have betrayed me !
So now what ? Well I have located the only other roadworthy Simson AWO Sport in the UK and it is for sale. I may buy it to make one good bike out of 2 as that one has had a nut and bolt total engine rebuild.
