    my bike has been drinking oil since i bought it back in the summer forget the month im topping it up every 2 weeks and it will be just marking the bottom of the dip stick then ive got use to this and no when its getting low as the bike sounds and fells odd and the gear changes get a bit notchy but ive just been out to check the oil and its over the max and runny as hell in fact it stinks of fuel the bike has got 21000 on the clock but the engine was rebuilt by a shop but forget the name but do have a recipt how much will it cost to get the engine fixed now would i be wasting my money on the bike it also needs new tyres soon as im down to about 2.5mm on both and it will require a new chain and sprockets as this was an advisory on the mot i commute 24 miles a day on it so im guessing if i continue to ride it the engine will at some point get to hot and size up or will it just keep on going wot would you lot do with the bike

    well wot can i say ive not riden a bike for well over ten years and my last bike was a gp100 but ive just bought my first bike in all that time and im loving it but its going to take some time to get use to riding as my thumbs are still killing me after such a short ride home and im loving the pop and bangs sounds better than my skyline and yes i no the paint work is out of date before you tell me but i think its the only 1 in bristol and its had a few owners so im guessing it may be a members old bike
