Re: oil-burn

Not to worry, John.  It just puked some oil up through the crankcase 
ventilation hose through into the airbox.

Clean out the airbox and you're done.  Sometimes this happens due to a high 
oil level, sometimes for no apparent reason, and sometimes because of 
sustained high-rpms around high-g curves.

Either way, no worry.
