is this normal?

I checked the oil last time i rode my 08 Sporty and notice tiny bubbles in the oil tank. Is it normal to have some bubbles or do I have a major problem?

i'm no mechanic, but i've seen this before... my guess (and i emphasize guess) is it's no problem.

thanks, doing a benefit ride in the morning and didn't want to have any issues. Probably gonna be riding in the woods most of the time, so it would suck if i broke down. Later
