 Guess that is something to keep in mind when I am down there spinning the wheel on the center stand while wiping excess oil after a lube  ;)

Exactly, the busa guy a couple years ago had his in gear idling while wiping the chain with a rag. He got 3 fingers peeled to the bones.

 At least I spin my wheel the other way so fingers don't get sucked in with a rag. I have not looked at the picture, not sure I want to 'remember' it .

 Tape the rag to a stick, and don't look at the pic.  I hope to leave this world only missing that one tooth. And my tonsils.

Saw that photo a day or two ago.  If it's legit, it is pretty gross.

Saw it. That wasn't too bad. You guys should see some of the pics/videos that circulate the machinist pages.
