Pulled a bonehead move today
Changed my oil this morning before heading to work and was in a hurry after it taking a bit of coaxing to get the filter off. Threw everything back together looked it over and hit the road. About 10 miles down the road my oil light comes on so I pull over and kill the engine. The oil plug had vibrated loose and fallen out so I had left a trail of oil down the road and coated the entire rear half of the bike. Killed the engine before any damage was done but I'm fearing that I'll have to replace the rear tire(which is only a few months old) because of the oil sitting on there for the whole day as I had no time to clean it once the bike and I got dropped off back at the house after our $200 tow ride. After about 10 years of successful mechanics on both cars and bikes today was a doozie. I'm not telling anyone that knows me personally because I'll never hear the end of it...
