excerpt of email i sent to work:

quarter to 11, i just got home…

on my way home, i was on the stanley park causeway and my bike started to make weird noises… on the bike.. you don’t want to take the chance something is wrong… so i pulled over… my friend came to meet me and take a look…

i just changed my oil ~2 weeks ago.. but we just added another litre of oil to an engine that is supposed to only hold 1.9L of oil (it’s only a 250cc engine)

i very slowly made my way home… with my friend behind me blocking other cars (with his hazards on, since the bike cannot have left and right signals blink at the same time)… along marine dr (north van) i could smell the oil burning :( and it still makes bad noises (it makes the noises 6000rpm and higher… and you have to ride the bike above 8000pm… so i had to ride in 6th gear at 4000rpm to get 50kph out of it)
