So there I was, speeding down I-5 at 75 mph, and I smell the sweet, cloying smell of anit-freeze. Wondered if the car in front of me was having trouble. Then, a guy pulls up beside me and gestures wildly at my bike, and I look around at the saddle bags, and can't figure out what he is pointing at. He shrugs his shoulders and drives on, and the next guy does the same thing! I then look in the mirror and see a big trail of white smoke behind me, and say Oh xmxmxm. Between the anti-freeze smell and white smoke, figured I blew a head gasket, and was sucking anti-freeze into a cylinder. Am I correct? Also, much anti-freeze in the exhaust and dripping underneath the bike from the left side. So, the bike still starts, and I got it transported home. What am I in for? Thanks. Marty
Oh, it is a 1987 Gl1200 Interstate.
