Look, if the oil was between the lines, even if it was a little dark, oil was in the engine. If it had oil starvation, then something inside the engine (i.e., oil pump, etc.) stopped doing it's job....

Alignment: Dealership or Elsewhere?

As per title, do you trust regular alignment shops to do alignment correctly, or is it necessary to go to dealerships? I'd rather not go there, but want it done correctly. Thanks,

Not to rain on anyone's Harbor Freight parade, but you wouldn't catch me under a car only being held up by one (or two). Use jack stands after you get it up in the air. Of course, YMMV,

That's a beautiful bike! My favorite to look at was a Moto Morini 3 1/2 Sport in yellow. Long gone, but missed. Now I just ride old Guzzis and KLR's. Can't give up the bikes.
