That's the stuff heart attacks are made of!

A good tip:

In Road Racing, there is a rule that says the oil plugs must be secured.
Out of old habit (and paranoia!), I always drill a whole through the oil
plug (sideways, of course!), so I can secure it with a metal wire. It could
still be losened, but there's no risk that the plug is totally unscrewed.

Keep sliding
