I gave it a good grunty turn and it seems pretty solid. I called them
back and they let me speak to the bod that serviced it who confessed
that he did spill some oil when he was servicing it and apologised. He
even named the crash bars and front mudguard before I told him about
them. The oil on my leg wasn't hot (I didn't feel it) so I'll monitor
the oil level over the next few journeys/weeks and see if anything new
appears. I'll also give them the bill for some new 501's.

Bother it.

Given he was that aware, I'd be questioning why the cunt couldn't be arsed
to clean it off at the time of spillage.

Not a good omen in terms of the sort of people you're letting loose on your
bike overall, IMHO
