    Why would someone do that? You got enemies? That's worth serious retaliation. Not that I condone that sort of thing, but whew!

    i didnt think i had enemies in christchurch. there are couple of people i have had disagreements with, but, even i know they would not do something as bad as that.

    i noticed on the way back from akaroa on sunday, but the bikes were parked across ther road from bully hayes, and we were sitting at bully hayes having coffee, so im stumped, but, really ticked off, cause for one it means im out of racing at the drags

    How did you find out that there was oil in your brake lines?
    Also, is there any other possibility than someone deliberately sabotarging your bike?

    Man, someones done an interesting job as it isn't a 5second thing to bleed a brake system or even contaminate a reservoir

    Are you sure of the oil in brake lines? Seems a bit strange. Is it all oil and no brake fluid in the system or just a small amount. When was the fluid changed last was it contaminated then perhaps or did the level look low and you topped it up with a dash of oil without realising it. Is the bike garaged or left outside all the time. Just trying to be logical thinking here as it would certainly be pretty extreme for someone to deliberately do it.

    i took my bike into the shop to replce the front brake pads andd check the back recently, but they are very adament that it was fine, when it left there and they know the difference between oil and brake fluid
