Ise Ride

Took a short ride to the workplace this morning. I wanted to finalize some stuff that needs turned in tomorrow.
Afterwards, I stopped at home to pick up my cell phone, and took a ride around the Isle. Though, I didn't take the above picture, that is a lighthouse that I saw on my ride. It was pretty neat to see it up close. (It's actually fairly tiny compared to many other lighthouses...)
After pulling in the garage I ended up discovering bad news. I noticed the smell of burning oil. I found the culprit pretty quick: my clutch release seal is leaking oil. I am not sure how bad it is leaking as of yet, so i will ride it as much as I can this month to get an idea of urgency.
It's no simple fix, and would cost some greenbacks. It could be the bearings and the seal, or just the seal. Either way, the entire clutch cover needs to come off to fix it.
Not cool. Not cool at all.
For hardly riding the bike at all this year (still under 300 miles this entire year), it sure has bummed me out.
