So, what was the story?

Thrown it down the road, worn through the rocker cover & done emergency bush repair job with a twig to stop the oil leaking
Done similar myself on my R80GS in the Picos the other year - I used liquid metal to plug mine though

Initially that sounds like a very good assumption, however I do notice a lack of oil residue or staining anywhere in the rocker cover so am wondering if there is another story afoot

(you watch me be completely wrong now)

If it wasn't for the twig, I'd be wondering what you're doing taking pictures of my bike

No worries here, as it is to clean to be mine

There's no oil because the bike was laying on top of my face

It's a root and it's growing out of the engine, not a twig stuck in the engine

Looks like a brilliant Bodge to me

A Bodger = a labourer who traditionally lived and worked in the forest, making chairs from felling trees

Must have been a good impact speed looking at the state of the engine bars

Just a bit of a twigg picked up on a ride. Blow on it and it will come off.

You were riding on someone's private land and they took a shot at you .

The twig is plugging a bullet hole .

By the look of the engine bars you've been tanking down some deep rut & twatted a stone (or should that be a root?) in the ground

Voila...

So, does that mean the engine's rooted

I think you're barking up the wrong tree.......much like Kenny was
