  1. Syria: Why Hollywood's Anti-War Voices Are Quiet http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/syria-why-hollywoods-anti-war-623326 They are still around.
  2. http://www.visordown.com/road-tests-first-rides/first-ride-yamaha-mt-09/23372.html Looks like they are becoming available across the pond.
  3. I got screwed at the car wash....Yo!!!
  4. Good to here from you Will. Fantastic Pics as always.
  5. Your killin me!!! Haven't even had a cup a Joe yet and I'm drooling for some Q. Good luck. Hope it's a winner.
  6. This video was made 4 years ago. In my opinion it is all part of the big plan. Whatever that turns out to be. As soon as I read your post this vid popped back into my head. Example to whom? The powers that be I believe created the problem. They sure as hell aren't going to fix it.
  7. Scooters are dangerous. I'm not aloud to get one.
  8. Check for a bad tank vent. This condition is much more noticeable with a full tank and after a few miles at highway speeds. Just my guess.
  9. Gotta bail. War Department made plans for a tour of Geneva and consumption of the fermented juice of many grapes. Followed with an evening with a great Blues Band.

    Neo 8/4 Ride

    Sorry Ryan. Gonna be spending the day with the wife on the Wing. Speed safely.
  11. Maybe. Will stay tuned for details.
  12. Yes men. It was a good day to cook.
  13. When I drove 100 miles a day and wife was at 60 just for work fuel mileage was a big issue. I became somewhat anal about keeping track of it on both vehicles. Tire pressure was another. Saving money on tires at today's prices if you drive a lot is right there with MPG. Best ever on a set of tires--97,000. S-10 extended cab. Spending money on improving mpg is all about doing the math. How many miles do you have to drive to recoup 200 dollars spent to get 3 tenths mpg improvement? Chances are you will never get your money back unless you drive a shit ton of miles. If you are in the mpg ball park of what other people are getting then that is all there is. If you are on the low side--- things like a worn o2 sensor or thermostat that opens too soon could be an issue. As far as why this 2 stroke oil thing works for some people in my opinion is the benefit of reduced friction. Ever try turning an engine over even without the spark plugs? Add some premium lubrication to the cylinders and more of the power made goes to the crank instead of moving the pistons up and down. The result would be better mpg. To answer your question---I used Pennzoil. As long as it is tc-w3 it shouldn't matter. I did try and meter it closely but not get anal about it. Easiest way I found was a marvel mystery bottle. Long neck and is marked in oz's. Give it a try. Any gains at all from 20 bucks spent may be worth it. Does reduced friction matter?
  14. http://www.ls1.com/forums/f48/been-testing-oil-91206/ Read this thread. I suggest a rainy day as it is almost been running for 5 years and over a thousand posts. Everyday people with everyday results. Have I tried it? Yes. Did it work? Yes. We do several 700 plus mile day trips a year south to pick up our Grandkids in the family van. Started using it about a month before a trip. The next couple trips mileage was up right at 2 MPG. Wife no longer commutes 60 miles a day so I really don't track mileage like I used to. Search 2 stroke oil in a car and there is a shit ton of forums with info.
  15. Back home. You guys wore me out. 455 miles for me. Good meeting some new guys.
  16. I'm in. See ya in Btown. Brian----WAKE UP!!!!!!
  17. 5% sure on the 9am Bolivar ride.
  18. 95% sure on the 9am Bolivar ride.
  19. I would not mind an early launch. What is the pace gonna be? Rough mileage?
  20. http://www.570wkbn.com/pages/pp_two_wheel_power.html Here is a link to a local show we have in Youngstown. I'm sure it takes a lot of work to put on a weekly show. These two guys(it used to be three and maybe still is) put out some pretty good info but it is really hard for me to listen sometimes because of their know it all type delivery. With that said they are just everyday guys and do the best they can. I would say you are in for quite a lot of foot work to fill a two hour slot.Being that you have experience already I'm sure you already know this. Would I listen? Probably. For two hours? It would have to be very interesting. Good luck. Nothing ventured nothing gained.
  21. http://thebom.com/products?page=shop.product_details&category_id=6&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=19 This is the best aluminum polish that I have ever used. Better than Mothers and semichrome.
  22. I would have liked to but have to do an iron butt in the family truckster to Kentucky for grandkids. Would like to hook up with you sometime for sure.
