my sprint and granda080's fz6 at IP

what a badass!

Well, Just got home from the ride today. Granda080 an I rode to Iron pony. We both bought a river road baclava, and let me tell you what. That was the best 5.49 cents I have ever spent on something to keep me warm! we then attempted to get to hocking. We hopped on 270, and Never hit 33. Lil mix up, no biggy. We rode to zanesville, and go on 40, and started back home. did about 45 miles on 40 and then hopped back on 70 and stopped at mcdonalds in hillard, as we were getting back on the highway some guy with a blue yamaha fj hopped on and rode probably 30 miles with us, he came up waved and on his way he went. and then bombed it the rest of the rest of the way home for a grand total of 299.5 miles.

mmmmmmhmmm. don.. you need that

Wait, so you put 10w-40 in?

nope. I just bought to have an extra quart. I thought it would be nice to have in my bag when if i was out on a big ride, and used alittle.

We are meeting up on the other side of C-bus at 1030. Im heading out here in about 15 since its an hour and a half just to meet up with them.

thats why i opted to hold out on the leaf ride. I dont mind the cold but its 35 right now.

going on the leaf ride?

im supposed to meet up with granada08 at 1030. You guys wanna meet up? We talked about going to iron pony and then maybe over into the hocking hills area.

I looked at the Mobil website, and from what I can tell, Mobil 1 4T 15W-50 isn't currently available in the USA. I did find it on the Australian Mobil website.

Don't get Mobil diesel 15W-50 confused with the motorcycle oil.

The Mobil diesel 15W-50 will be marked API CD or API CF.

The Mobil motorcycle 15W-50 will be marked API SH and JASO MA.

The weight of an engine oil is part of the engine's design characteristics. The way the oil flows in the engine, is in part controlled by the weight of the oil. That's saying the oil could move too quickly, or not fast enough, or distribute within the engine in a way not intended if it's the wrong weight oil. In most engines it won't make much difference.

If anything, I would substitute a 10W-50 if I couldn't get a 15W-50. The first number is the weight (viscosity index) of the oil when it is cold. So a 10W will get moving quicker.

Repsol makes a 15W-50 for motorcycle.

As does Klotz, Silkolene, Motorex, and Motul.

joes cycle shop sells the 15w50 for 59 bucks a gallon. thats what triumph recommends be ran. What got me started on all of this was, was I went to joes today and tried to buy a single quart. I thought it would be nice to have an extra quart incase i ever needed to top off, on a long trip or somthing. They informed me that a quart of the 15w50 does not exist as they are only allowed to import by the gallon. So I bought the oil on the left at auto zone. for 9 dollars a quart.

you interested in a ride for tomarow?

i ran the stuff on the right for this oil change, but im going to switch to the left i think.

Whats the difference, other than the obvious weights. I went to the triumph dealer and they don't sell a single quart of the 15w50. no where else sells mobile one 15w50. But i found this. A gallon of the triumph stuff is 60 bucks. four quarts of the other stuff is a lil over 40 bucks.

how about you text me early in the am and let me know, because its a good ride for me to ge there and find out no ones there!

im not sure what feild you are in but from the working outside/ different jobsites/construction point of veiw, I would not burn any bridges. You never know who you will run into later on down the road on the jobsite.

i like my triplets but twins are always fun! Great lookin bike!

It's going to be cold as balls... anyone have a BMW and electric winter gear I can borrow? I'll promise to take lots of pictures of your bike.

alot of guys ask if mine is a bmw, but im going on the ride. So therefore, I will text you some pictures along the way?

wheres the meeting point in martinsburg? I think granda080 and I will be there!

My name is brandt

1) I am an extreme perfectionist. If i start a project, and I cant get somthing to work out like i invisioned in my head. I have to mess with it untill its how i want it.

2)I love my job. I work outside, I plow snow, its somthing different everyday.

3)even though I ride motorcycles, i love bicycles just as much.

4)I am fairly quiet when I am with a group of people, I am a people watcher

5) I love music. I cant play any insturments or even read music, but i LOVE to sit and listen to it. Trying to figure out what the writer/composer was thinking/feeling at that time.

6)I went to school for machining. I worked in two different shops and realized that it was not for me. I love making parts for myself. But when I have a shop owner standing over my shoulder, it really irritated me.

7) 98% of the time, I choose to stay in my garage and tinker on somthing than go out on a friday night

8) When it comes to my vehicals,and tools i am a neat freak.

9)I have an amazing girlfriend

10) relaxation is the key to life.
