[QUOTE="Aasland, post: 864229, member: 14773"] In our family we have two oil-related stories. The first was back in the 80's when my dad owned a car dealership with a not-bright-mechanic in the service bay. When doing an oil change on a customer's car the mechanic forgot to put the oil in after draining the old stuff out and putting in a drain plug. Luckily the customer only got a few yards before he stopped the engine to ask why the oil light was on. The second incident occurred a couple years when my dad, brother, wife and I took a trip from Minnesota to the Black Hills, SD on our bikes. My dad was on an 83 KZ1100A that drank oil - had to check it every morning. Well ... in Sioux Falls he checked it and forgot to put the shiny aluminum cap back on (left it on the engine) and managed to get 5-6 miles down the road. As they were accelerating to get on I-90, my brother, behind dad, saw something fall off the bike. He stopped dad and noticed his pants were covered in oil and the cap was gone. By the time my wife and I doubled back they were walking the grass where they think they saw it come off. Luck being what it is, I saw it immediately at the edge of the road. When we got home I drilled a hole in the cap fin and chained it to the bike :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
