Well all that repiled had a look at dipstick....no the bike guys...anyway still had a little on the stick and about 1 qt in lower end will drain today to see if any shavings in whats left in there ,hope I dodged the bullit ....will probably flush it then refill.As far as I can tell just vibrated loose same fliter and oil for 2600 miles never seen it happen before.Went back and measured where il started 5700 feet found oil filter at 2100 feet.We will see.
Let us know, we're all on the edge of our seats on this one!

I'm not so sure about notifying the insurance company. I have read that any contact regarding your insured assets may trigger an increase (www.clarkhoward.com).
It would suck to "notify" them, have your engine be OK, and then get your rates jacked.
just sayin'

Wow... that could'a been real ugly if you'd of oiled up the rear tire.
Hopefully, you caught it in time and shut it down.
I'd do a cylinder pressure & leakdown check. If they, you're probably fine. As was also mentioned, cutting open the oil filter would not hurt, but you could still have wear issues that would not show up as debris in the filter... so check both.
If all is well.... RideOn! If not.... HELLO HQ113!!!!!!!!!!
Good luck... hoping for the best for ya!
