Yeah, sometimes it's just easier to point to the solution and let the reader discover the resource once they enter it. I use Realoem.com even at work when the ETK (Electronik Teile Katalog) is updating and such.

That bike was a project '96 R1100RS that I cobbled together from a wrecked R1100GS and another R1100RS. It was so stripped down that 40 kilos were removed from it and I did track days, daily commuting and a bit of credit card touring on it too. The tank looks funny because the R1100RS models have a great big bloody fairing panel that usually covered the left hand side's under tank hideousness. I let it all hang out! A Honda Civic driver yacking on his mobile hit me almost head on and split that poor ol' girl's engine cases and sent me over the 'bars and under a parked 5 series Bimmer. I remember being airborne, tucking and rolling and thinking "this is the one where you die". But I survived to this day. Hot motor oil runs like hot blood across the pavement.

The bike had been a wreck so I cut and removed and had only what was necessary to make it run and keep it legal on the roads of Oregon, where I was living at the time. The suspension was raised (R1100GS shocks, front and rear), the frame cut off at the back, a solo seat used, a very LOUD exhaust can with no catalyst, a shorter GS torque arm tightened up the wheelbase slightly, a 9" Suzuki headlight blazed the night, with R1100S clip-on 'bars, and the airbox and ABS brain were jettisoned and oiled-foam air filters were sleeved to the intake snouts, A Techlusion R259 controller kept everything rich, and early, 10-fin cylinder heads with larger valves helped it to breath. Later models used 9 fins with smaller intake and exhaust valves to help stop the lean stumble the early Oilheads were infamous for. She was a goer, as much as she could be, because she lost a lot of flab and some underlying potential was realised.

'Was' being the operative word, 'til that errant driver took us out. Another mobile phone incident. I'm not big on new or more laws to govern the masses by, but I wouldn't mind if it was mandatory licence loss for yacking on anything but a hands-free. Yep, 'twas fun.

with you there. The research shows that the risk is only slightly less on a hands free. But I guess we have to start somewhere with changing risky behaviour.

There's too much time passed with mobile use being allowed in cars and trucks, too much money involved, the telephone companies will (quietly, so as not to be seen to be a part of the problem) squawk up a storm, and that rascally little issue of 'personal rights' pops up too. Vehicles are lethal weapons in ill-trained and safety-disinterested hands. The issue boils down to driver training and awareness....and BTW, (motorbike specific content) my oil sump o-ring gets replaced each and every time I change the oil and filter.

Good back to the subject point. I'll actually check mine next change. I've done two changes now since May of this year. No leaks, so guess I'm lucky having never checked it.

The Reisen-brand oil filter kits I buy from Motobins (buy six or ten at a time with other spare parts for reduced postage costs) come with the oil filler plug o-ring (often neglected and essential for smooth idle - try it without the plug some time!), the drain plug's metal crush washer, the 88mm o-ring for the sump, and an excellent filter with the proper amount of filtering media and bypass pressure relief valve, for under ten clams, Australian. You can get many uses from the large o-ring but think of the catastrophic event that could happen if it was left to perish and eventually leak...
