oh yes I know what happens old triumphs do things like that my 68 Bonneville did the same split the oil pipe to the rockers fraid every thing seem to split or work lose on that its the vibrations you know. fortunately I only had jeans on at the time and the hot oil squirting onto my knee alerted me to the situation.
