No ****. Three-lane J Street isn't too busy Sunday morning. Lean over, turn right, immediately get into the middle (turning) lane, initiate my turn off J and the whole front end comes up violently. I damn near lost the bike.

Pulled in the side road looked back and saw something shiny in the street. Son-of-a-bitch, what's that? So I turn around and go back and there's a chrome Harley oil filter lying in the road, slightly crunched and leaking oil. I had hit it dead on.

I kicked it over to the curb, made sure it wasn't mine and rode home. Didn't see an oil track on the street. Weird...

 

Dang, glad you didn't go down, weird it was in the middle of the road.

They guy who lost it is going to have a really bad day!

 

Maybe it's owner didn't notice it missing 'cause he had his high beans on?

 

LOL Dickey.... WTF ....glad you didn't go down... And beans make me FART..

 

Beans, the magical fruit, the more you eat, the more you toot......glad you're ok.

 

glad it turned out ok for you.... that would leave me scratching my noggin for a while

 

bjewell: Mighty fine ridin' on your part. Somewhere else here in the Forums someone is probably blaming someone else for his lost oil filter...

bizarre. You'd think he wouldn't get too far with oil gushing out of the engine. I'd look for the guy on the side of the road staring at his now-silent bike with a perplexed look on his face.

 

OMFG
