Peter Burn writes: Recently I took my old triumph to work. While parked in the warehouse a BMW riding work mate took offence to its charm, personality, quality and design excellence by surrounding it in an emergency oil spill kit.

I just wanted to shed some light on the issue. It’s a design feature, not a leak. It’s anti-rust and antiageing cream, not oil. Something the German engineers are yet to master.
