**********************slime report***********************************

My day started off great. Had breakfast then checked out Baby's fluid levels and took off for T Town. It's about 115 miles from my house to where Les lives up there. I was making good time on the Turnpike going at my usual cruise speed and hit a "bump" after that the front end would get the wobbles around 80 to 85 MPH. That slowed me down... I usually cruise in that range. The bump messed up the fall-away on my front end I found out when I got home.

Any how I digress... I got to Les's place having avoided a ticket from OK's finest (they were checking for seat belt violations at the midway toll plaza not patrolling like good little speed Nazi's) After meeting Les's wife and getting Layla out we rode up to Collinsville to check out the Bike Pulls. Only in Oklahoma would someone think of hooking a motorcycle to a weight sled like those used for tractor pulls!

So there we were at the Bike Pulls, Les and yers truly. Apparently somebody forgot to get anybody to enter so they had a couple of "exhibition" pulls for our sakes. (Seeing as how "we" rode all the way From OKC. to see the pulls). Well after they ran and when we were getting ready to leave (again) there was Baby with what looked like a small drip of oil dripping off of the front near the filter housing.

Well We rode back to Les's house having to stop for an emergency bolt transplant on Layla. She had rejected the original one holding her oil tank in place thereby causing it to fall from it's mount on the highway. Les performed this quick fix by robbing a bolt from a fender strut.

I left Tulsa heading back to OKC, and kept feeling something wet and sticky hitting me every so often The further I rode the worse it got. When I finally got home the small leak looked like a major one. Well I put Baby in the garage for the night figuring I would fix it the next day.

The next morning I open the garage door and there was Baby all covered in slime! The horror! Apparently they even did it on church property! These must have been Nuclear Mutated Slugs because they glowed green and could sing. They were all over her squirming around while I rolled her out into the driveway. Baby was covered in a glowing green film of slime 3 or 4 inches deep! Picture is here: http://home.mmcable.com/fxdl2000/slimed.jpg
