Was away out for a thrash on sunday. Riding the bike pretty hard. Doing 80mph i went to overtake a few cars. Opened the throttle and away i went. Then, the back wheel starts slipping and the bike is fish tailing like fook. I get control but still on other side of road. Think to myself ' that was strange' and continue to boot it passed the cars. At this point the wheel spins up again causing more fish tailing. I then decide that something is wrong and quickly pull in to the side of the road to inspect the problem.
WTF!! the back end is all wet??.......OHHHHH fukk it's oil. I kill the engine just in time to watch the last 1.5 liters of oil piss out the sump. In vain i try to stop it with my finger....AAArhhgg it HOT. So i kneel at the side of the road and discover that the sump plug had fooked off on holiday or something.
So i hide the bike in a field jump on the back of my mates bike and head for the nearest town. Just in time to catch the local garage closing up .I explain my situation and he helps by giving me a load of bolts to try and i buy some oil from him. Back to the bike 1 bolt fits but is way to long but it does the job with only minor dribbles of oil coming out. I totter back home at 30-40 mph and meet up with the missus in the van who was coming to my rescue.
So home and no damage done i begin to wonder how a torqued up sump plug falls out? First time ever and going to be the last. I'm going to drill and wire lock the new plug.
Never just a ride out it's a fukkin adventure [:p]
Ohh yeah, i almost killed my mate with the plug that fired out the back off the wheel [:0]
