oil disaster capped

Earlier this summer we did an oil change and other routine maintenance on my 24 year old yamaha virago. Long story short, I had a stripped bolt on my oil filter housing which caused a small leak which dripped on my pipe causing a sweet, very metal smoke show every time I'd stop at a light. At the time, we didnt realize that the bolt was where the leak was coming from, so we changed the engine gaskets thinking it may have been from there. I rode home that night thinking everything was all good, but when i stopped for gas, there was oil just blowing like crazy. I rode around like this for a few weeks until common sense stepped in and I decided to stop riding until it was fixed.
Instead of being totally depressed about not being able to ride, I decided to get a little exercise and break out my old haro bmx and start pedaling around town. It's obviously a lot slower but still alot of fun, and my fat ass definitely needs the exercise.
A couple of weeks go by and we never get to work on the bike because of scheduling conflicts, work, life in general, etc, until last friday when I rode out to Barry's and re-threaded the stripped oil filter housing bolt and repositioned the gasket in the motor which completely fixed the leak and got me back on the road and out of my depression. haha

art?

I've been doing a terrible job of updating this thing, so here's some pics of new tatties and paintings.
