I don't ride "hard" as such, but I ride to work every day through rush hour traffic in Sydney heat so I think it is cheap insurance. I do it myself and it only takes a few mins of work, most of the time you spend waiting for the oil to drain out.

Was that with regular oil though or with synthetic oil? As I know that synthetic oil generally lasts about twice as long if not longer than regular oil...
