Ride 'er till she blows.
Sounds cool & all, but in practice, maybe not such a great idea.You ride with a finger over the clutch lever? If it "blows" & locks up while youre running thru a sweeper, youll be down in less time than it takes to think "Crap!". YOu suspect the engine has a fatal wound, because of the vibration, right? I think you should have a look inside & see whats going on, If you cant see, you cant see,, but Id sure be having a look.. Tell us more about the engine, how it sounds, howe it feels, rpm related racket,, I wish I had a pic of it before you patched it. I know how much work you put in it,, I sure hate that it got boogered up like that./
I dont follow closely, on a bike or in a car. Ive found a good %age of drivers follow me at a greater distance when I am following the lead car at a greater distance.. IDK why. Ive also found that wne I am coming to a red light & I want to turn right, If I will hold to the left & stay right by the line, the car in front will often do the same, then when I get there, there is room to slip by on the right.. people are amazing. Doesnt work all the time, some people just Have to tailgate & some dont seem aware of anyone else on the road & dont use the rear view, either. If Im being tail;gated, I slow down till Ive got them slowed down, then I speed away to establish distance, then I settle to the right speed. I can deliver that "hint" till they figure it out or they pass me, Dont tailgate & dont allow yourself to be tailgated. Being tailgated is dangerous because you are forced to constantly monitor what theyre doing. Takes away from the attention you need to be paying to whats happening in front. You mita dodged that rock had you been more focused in front & less in the mirrors,. But maybe you were too close,, IDK,m, I wasnt there. You can "run the tape" again & think about it.
