Yep - within 1000 miles of getting it back from the garage. It seems that the mechanic's "assistant" filled the tank and left it at that. My dipstick oil temp monitor was helpfully telling me the air temp in the oil tank (didn't reach level of oil) and so everything appeared fine until the engine died.
The place in question is being a bit slippery, but I may be able to get some help. On the other hand, this might be an opportunity to fit a big-vore kit, a Paris-Dakar cam and a kicker... although I haven't decided whether to do it myself or not.
