My bike smells like boiled vomit

Well not always. And I've never smelled boiled vomit but I imagine it's something like this rank odor.

It comes from the oil cooler. It's saturated with rotting organic matter from my last big ride that gets cooked on every ride. So every time I start forward from a stop I get hit by a fragrant wind not too different from the most noxious breeze to come off the most polluted beach at low tide. Blech.

It might be time to clean my bike. :ha

Thanks Scott, perfect timing.

I'm sitting at work clearing my back log of e-mail (and reading the Forum of course), and now I'm imagining that: my mug of black tea smells funny.:sick

Sorry, it was a long walk to the port-a-johns, and I just couldn't hold it anymore! I thought it would help cool down the bike, too!

I am still wondering what life experiences, both experientially and olfactory, lead you to the analogy of boiled vomit? At the same time I am wondering; why am I asking this question and do I really want to know?

I am not certain which should be back flushed first, the bike or you. :lol

I started to choke a bit upon reading this, and then I thankfully realized I have no idea what boiled vomit smells like. I must lead a sheltered life.
