Your other "non-Harley" Bike?

That mk3 is a stunna Groovey , mines the sport, had a bit of an arse puckering moment the other week on her.
Check out the amount of oil on the bike, was all over me as well lol.
Harleys aren't alone when it comes to losing oil ;-).

Hope you didn’t hurt yourself Vic in a definitely slippery situation.
A guy at the club is a bit of a joker.
He occasionally spills a bit of cola under a bike or two.
Makes the owners panic sometimes.

All good, was on a bit of straight road, if had been 10 minutes later it would of been different,
I have a nice windy road on the way home that I like to have a bit of fun on.
Lost 2 litres of oil.

Lol, got to love those Italians! One of the oil feed lines burst on mine.
The guzzi's certainly have character :-)

Very nice, that's my favorite colour Katana and I prefer the alloy wheels (although the spokes are supposedly more desirable). They're a timeless motorcycle and getting pretty good money these days too.

I think those Sport 1100's are the Sexiest Bikes Ever, much better looking than the Le Mans,

So where was it leaking from Vic?.
My old 850 used to have big problems spewing oil out if you put a thimble full too much over the lower dipstick mark. Eventually fixed the issue by putting in a larger capacity oil breather box.
It was always very alarming when you realised your back wheel was covered in oil, strangely enough though you would not have known. It was not like hitting a patch of oil on the road where you would more than likely end up on your side. An oily tyre is not as slppery as an oily road.

Cheers, it is all very straight with a refresh, as opposed to a full resto. Close up inspection you see the stone chips and wear and tear, but still awesome to ride when the right opportunity presents. GSX1100 engines are just fantastic, as are all the old Jap fours. Sold a GPZ900 in 1998 for my first HD. No regrets about the HD (FXDL), but should have kept the GPZ (money was Too tight though)

Was one of the main oil feed lines to the head FC , 2 litres lost.
The culprit;

25 years old, so they've done alright, wont happen again, new ones I put on were s/s braided lines.

12 inch over front forks, sissy bar, twin overhead fishtail exhausts, hardtail frame conversion,new tank, seat, handlebars, maybe?.
A friend just got a great deal on the same model and he is happy with his.

More information please Mr. Mow as in how much did it cost?
And do you have a front on pic of that thing? There is a thread happening about ugly bikes.

Not saying it should be there but give us a front on photo
