I'm not real sure that I want to admitt to this, but a long time ago, when I was racing dirt bikes, I busted a radiator on a water-cooled two stroke bike, on the day before a big national, that I was wanting to run.The bike shop ordered one for me, but it was going to take 4 or 5 days.

Not only did it get me through the race, but a friend bought the bike at the end of the season, and STILL has it, glue ball and all.
