Went for an early morning ride this morning.
It was really foggy, and I could see a layer of frost over the lawn. I was thinking there may be thin patches of ice on the road as a result.
I wondered why the fuck I was going for a ride, and then I remembered, I really like riding.
Anyway I set off, and then something unusual happened. The *outside* of my visor misted up. I had to give the outside a wipe a few times. I have a pinlock visor, and although it did mist a bit, was generally okay.
The ride was pleasant and I eventually returned home. When I parked the bike back in the garage I noticed there was oil running down the side stand, and several drops of oil on the concrete flaw where there was none previously.
I'm not a mechinical person, but I know that oil suddenly leaking when it wasn't previsouly is not good.
I think I'll leave it a day and see if anymore leaks and just use the cage for the moment.
I can feel a visit to the local bike mechanic coming on. Hope it's note going to be expensive.
