So I went for a ride this morning...some local highways, doing 100-140 mph, just cruising, since not much traffic out...I rode for about 3 hours, and on the way home, I went to merge from one major hwy onto another....fast sweeping right hand turn...I'm doing about 120 mph in the slow lane, no probem...I lean the bike into the corner and the bike just does NOT want to turn....OK, so now I have my brakes on, doing about 80 mph, and having ended up on the outside of the turn and in the passing lane and the bike still is not responding. Before I knew it, I almost hit the guard rail. I missed it narrowly. I am thinking something is f**ked with the bike. So I pulled over about a mile down the road and I am going over my bike.
OIL all over the rear tire. Luckily, I was only about 30 min from home and I managed to ride the bike home, with my Hazard lights on and at a very slow pace...
I just did an oil change yesterday and it is probably my oil filter or some drain screw leaking a bit of oil.
Moral of the story- If the bike does not feel right, STOP and check it out- If I hadn't stopped and noticed the oil on my rear tire, I would probably be dead right now.
