Hi guys, as you wondered, the engine self destruction was caused by our own neglicence!
Across europe, the few times we checked oil levels, at the beginning of our trip, on both bikes, it was always at max level. So we did not check daily... After few days, in Turkey, Alistair's bike was suddenly with almost no oil. We added about .75ml of oil ( 0.9ml is full!)....
What we think happened is that our mechanic probably overfilled it, so for the first week it did look like the bikes were not burning any oil.... That must have started the problem on one of our bikes, grinding little by little to the engine pretty much seizing.... Silly i know! So used to modern bikes that don't burn any oil!
