when i first put my vance n hines pipes on my old gsx1300rw i rode it to work (mechanic put it on) i noticed my rear wheel getting sloppy and big white cloud of smoke behind me...i shut her off and coasted to edge...mechanic had line to oil cooler too close to head and didnt have it insulated....he picked up and replaced and cleaned for me for free. month later i wrecked it falling asleep.

Nearly the same thing happened to me on my SV1000 about a year ago. No harm, no foul!

Solid way of looking at things, a good swift right turn with some lean and this could have been a completely different story. Thanks for posting the thread and "bumping" if you will the thought in our minds. 
job isn't done till it's done.

How'd you fall asleep on a bike? I didn't think that was possible
Glad that you are ok...

Had similar "ommission" on my part when I had Katana 600. Except, I discovered that when idling the bike shortly after the oil change. Things happen - don't sweat it.
In your case, I would've asked someone to bring fresh oil and a bunch of paper towels. In a couple of hours, she would've been filled with oil, and squeeky clean, and I would've ridden her back home, or wherever you wanted to go.
Hey, something to tell your kids or grandkids, ha?
