Close Shave! Learnt A Good Lesson Today

Just changed oil on my budget Chinese daily touring/commuter bike then this morning the filter decided to 'Just fall off'!! Now let's not mince words, I'm in the motor trade so I know when things are fitted right and always double check but this morning I thought my rear brakes gone shite (for reasons to follow)as I was desending a steep hill. Stopped at junction, set off through local village and broadsided through the bends after a mini roundabout. That wasn't unusual for me as I tend to go hard out of bends to 'feel the surroundings' and fully expected a little 'give' but this time the bike proper broke away. I looked down and noticed a very 'glossy gear lever and left boot' whoops, engine kill button hit and quick inspection showed an oil wet bike from fairing up to rear mudgard and a wet back tyre!

Closer inspection revealed no oil filter left!! So that was close, bike sounded ok at point of stopping and I was upright!

After getting a free recovery (as I was near one of my customers premises) I went back home to pick my van up and followed my tracks again to amaze myself that the filter fell off 2 1/2 miles earlier and lost nearly all its oil at that point!!
Spotted a filter?? That black mark goes for a whole 3/4 mile and it's my new oil, the engine just kept going!!
So the only thing I can think was that the filter was an aftermarket 'Fram' which may have had a looser thread but still same pitch!!

 

Yes your right, might have missed my gmu2017!!
Anyway it didn't happen to my bonneville at least. That bloody Chinese thingy just keeps going and won't die (not that I'm trying!!) This is what it looks like normally for the people who've never seen it.

 

Yes true

 

Active 8 as in oil additive? No, just castrol power one

 

Twat!!

 

Bad boy!

 

Bought it if that was what you meant? (Picture above somewhere)
Sold my old one and delivered it on the way down to dartford so public transport was avoided this time even though you did some homework for me and thanks for that. I'd rather you changed your name back to Gloria if your blowing me kisses btw!
