[QUOTE="Peter Holmes, post: 132579, member: 302"] I think as far as retaining oil goes designing vertically split crankcases is somewhat optimistic, not to mention all the other possibilities for oil loss, I think the Japanese latched onto this fairly quickly with the horizontally split crankcase Honda CB72-77 series. Take a look at the parking arrangements at most big Vincent rallies, Isle of Man 1999, Italy 95, Belgium 99, I felt real sympathy for the hotel owners. When attending the West Bay Rally we normally visit my brother in law in Burton Bradstock, although he doesn't actually know my exact time of arrival he is normally in place, ready to greet us on his driveway with various oil drip catching devices, and my bike is pretty good by comparison to others that I have seen.
