Oh no.  So I go to Pentagon City yesterday and road the 120 miles as hard as I was able, I don't know why I do that. I got caught in a few slow downs, rode on U. S. 1 a few time and then finished up on 395 on in.  I'm trying to find a parking spot and while sitting at a stop sign waiting for the cars to go by in the parking lot I hit the throttle and a cloud of smoke goes by me...a familiar puff of smoke on many things that I have owned in the past. I blat the throttle again and the same thing...durn.... So now I'm thinking that I'll have to put up with smoking for another 80,000 miles before I touch the motor at 200,000.   Well, it may have just been other atmospheric conditions or something.  I've got just a little over 3,000 miles on the oil and I'm changing it this morning for another 400 mile run to the mountains today.  After I left Pentagon City I had about 5 miles of just flat out crawling traffic, even in the HOV lane.  Temp stick got up to around 300 degrees and the motor was looooooooooose, I could hear knocking like I've never heard before.  When I saw the break, I was gone, using some slick traffic handling techniques short of lane splitting.  Which by the way, I saw a wanna be 1% lane spittling on his dressed harley... if he didn't hit anybody he was good because it was tight....and illegial in our wonderful commonwealth.

Started the bike this morning to let it warm up to change the oil...and filter and not a tick or sigh.  Oil was at a good level...and no 'moke.... I see 200,000 miles...or from the old rock song from the Who... "I can see for miles and miles and miles...."

 Yep.  All is well, hasn't done it since yesterday that one time.  Fresh oil, running like new.
