Old memory: Farm use motorcycle to chase cows was a Ossa with the 250 Ducati 4 stroke engine that had replaced the previous model 2 stroke engine. Brother that bought it decided to change oil and had drained most out when mother yelled 'dinner time'. Since the oil was still dripping, leave it set and go eat. Just after dinner was time to take food and gas to tractor driver in far field- so into pickup with the refuel tank and go to field. At same time another younger brother has to get a small part in town 5 miles away- decides to take motorcycle. Motorcycle owner gets back from refueling, etc and sees no bike in shed door, looks inside and no bike there at all. Mother comes out and says brother in town and motorcycle was rattling and won't start, is in parking lot at store. Drain plug is on bench next to the cans of oil and now full drain pan. Poor little engine got freed up, fresh oil and ran afterwards but smoked a bit- smoked a lot really when first starting, some people thought it was a 2 stroke engine like previous years model. Had to keep brothers separated when working for a long while- especially if use of long handled tools was involved like pitchfork when cleaning barn gutter. Low oil minders getting common in small engines and cars now, no wonder they are needed. RN.
