    Had an oiler on my bike. A couple of weeks back I had a low speed rear wheel overtook the front in a left hander situation. When I picked it up and had a good look there was oil everywhere. First thing I did was rip the oiler out. Turns out it wasn't the oiler (or at least was just the oiler). The petrol tank had been removed 1 too many times and the fuel line had worn through. I think the fuel + the oil combined to spit me out the low side at 30kph. A bloody pain and right in front of a full McDonalds at feeding time too.

    Great to hear you found the cause Paul.
    But its crazy that oil should be getting sprayed around like that.

    As has been alluded to - that bin of yours was at running speeds...imagine if it had been faster??? At least then we can rule out the tyre cooking scenarios that you Bruce and I were throwing around...

    Glad you got it figured out man. It's important to know why you crashed.

    Have fun out there.
