it never rains it pours oil amd water

was out for a lovely ride ,, bike running sweet with new maps in and db killer mods when suddenly one radiator hose blows ,, so limp home and fit spare Ok its likely as bike is 17 years old and thats why i have nice samco silicone hoses ready as spare in glorious red colour

OK off again 15 miles later my legs starts burning and i cant see anything ,, im covered in hot oil and shut down engine , the oil pressure switch is flapping around in mid air on its cable having vibrated loose , me and bike totally covered in at least 2 litres of engine oil
so roadside bodge and limp home ,no recovery in Thailand ,, , the threads in the oil pressure switch hole are totally shot ,, gonna have to remove case and clutch and put in a helicoil

bike is playing sultry italian female ,,,

gonna take her in hand this week for a major fettling as i need reliability ,,,,
