i started my bike up as usual this morning and a great poof of smoke came out from the front of my bike.... ie near the cylinders somewhere!!!

i thought.... **** ive blown a gasket or something.

instead of wheeling it back into the garage, i started it up again and it seemed to run correctly. so after some inspection i rode it to work as normal.

i am baffled by this.... how did all this smoke escape from the engine?? are there any outlets, like relief valves that would let out the air at high pressures???

or have i blown a gasket or something?

at the end of my 10 mile journey, the bike was idling just fine.

any help or reference to personal experiences would be helpful.
