LOL not hardly.
Wonder if anyone's mind and methods have been changed
Probably not. Forgot to mention that I used Honda oil filters at every change.
I do not want to dampen Jambo's enthusiasm (although a Reader's Digest version would be easier to follow) but bypass valves have two purposes:
1. Already mentioned by Jambo, to allow oil flow to continue if the filter media becomes clogged.
2. To allow cold, relatively thick oil to flow upon cold starts. Without a bypass valve, oil flow could be reduced/impeded upon cold startup.

Well I’m going to OEM filter after today’s ride. I’ve read the horror stories about the K&N and never use them. I’ve been using the hiflow racing . I was out riding wonder where the oil smell was coming from 300 miles into the ride I realize my rear brakes weren’t working so good the spot weld on the nut broke on the filter and started blowing oil back
