Re: Cycle whore thread
I changed my oil today, almost freaked when i saw sparkles in the oil then I realized the drain pan i used was sitting in my metal working corner and I had been flinging grinding material in that area for weeks.

Without realizing that fact I would have freaked but I had gotten to the point where... it might as well happen, my luck with engines is this shitty already.

that's a good thing for 2 reasons: 1 you have a magnetic drain plug (amirite) so that means all the metal is aluminum (probably crank bearings) otherwise it would be on the magnet. and 2 your crank bearings are now properly broken in and so are your piston rings hopefully so you can dawg the shit out of it now.

Bad body position and he washed the front end. You can see the front wheel slip about 0:08. Hard to tell because of the shadow.

That plus he was afraid to put the necessary throttle on at the end of that turn.. It's a known slick spot.

Oil apparently.

Oh well. Not about if you'll go down, but when.

Vid says road was clean, 60 degree temp.
