Smelly barrels question

Recently i sprayed and baked my top end and it came out smelling of quiche.

http://www.z1ownersclub.co.uk/forum/vie ... hp?t=34000

In hindsight it might have been better to have done dinner seperately.
Couldnt live with the stink so decided to 'manly' them up a bit with a saucer of Brut 33 next to them on Mark 6 again to infuse a more masculine odour and sat back down to watch Hanna Montanna DVD box set (gold edition with 35 previously unseen seconds) when there was a loud whooomph and a squeek from the kitchen.
I rushed out to find the oven door had blown open and the place full of smoke.
I got up to open the window and found the cat clawed into the lightshade.
Managed to prise him off eventually and i guess the wool on his arse will grow back but for now i have sprayed it in with the can of PJ1 (not a bad match as it goes) to stop the next doors cats laughing at him.
Today i started the bike and it smells like the kebab van in the lay-by down the road from me.
My question is; should i take them off and start again or try some other potion to mask the pong? Someone else must have had this happen before.

Any help appreciated.

Just use an extra set of "ear-plugs" when out for a ride...... stick 'em up your schnozz :!:

That made me laugh. :lol: :lol: :lol:

PS. You could mount an air intake to your helmet, with an air freshener.

Splash some of that Old Spice that you're so fond of wearing on the barrels .
That should do it .

Just chuck a bucket of cow slurry over the engine and take it for a thrash, this should give it a wonderful aroma back :lol:

Thank you gents for the helpful suggestions.
One suggestion gave me something to think about and now there has been a development.
It turns out that Mr T has been downloading into the back of the gas oven.
This probably explains why he got his trousers blown off when the Brut 33 ignited.
I am going to stop feeding him quiche and see if this modifies his behaviour.
Now i know i am dealing with an organic odour i think i know how to deal with it.
I will wash the top end with Persil Bio.

Thanks again very helpful.
