Default Foam in Oil

What is causing excessive foam in my oil tank? Just changed the oil. Ultima 70 wt. and a touch of lucas motorcycle stabilizer.

After getting whipped around in the motor and all the places it travels, air will be introduced into the oil and it will foam. I wouldn't worry about it.

I'd be worrying if it didn't foam , it's normal.
