Swords and motorbikes...
Last night was the last session of the fencing course I've been doing where we were learning. Next week is"box night". Basically, no more lessons, but those of us in the beginner class will have our own competition with a referee and the electric sensors. Should be fun! :D
A couple of days ago, my motorbike started spewing oil everywhere. This, of course, is not good. I dropped it in to the mechanic and borrowed a car for the next day. Fortunately the repairs were minor, just a new oil filer and seal. What made me wince though, was when I picked it up, he showed me the old filer, and told me that the only other time he had seen corrosion like that on an oil filter the person hadn't noticed at first. Then while out on a ride, the oil pressure got too much and blew the front clean off the weakened filter, emptying all the oil all over the wheels and brakes, and taking a chunk out of the fairing. Seems I was very lucky to have noticed the leak before this happened to me!
