With several autos and motorcycles and small engines, I tend to collect a lot of used motor oil. After it drains into the collection pan, I pour the used oil back in the newly emptied jugs. I just wonder if there are any good uses for the used oil????? Chainsaw bar oil comes to mind, but I...

The back story.... I just purchased this bike. Have owned it now 7 days. It has an OLD set of Michelin Road 3's. You can't even buy these tires any more, as Michelin is now building and selling the Road 6. The wife and I have even done a 260 mile 2-up ride on them and I have pushed them...

Love new tires and these will be great on my R1200RT. Many have reported over 15k on these dudes.

I'll be using the T6 10w30 in my Africa Twin with DCT.

"Smoke" in Glenwood Springs

I seriously considered the Road 6's, as my Motorcycle Cop Friend of mine, just put them on his RT Cop Bike and he loves them. Instead I went with the Michelin Pilot Road 4 GT, as I exchanged messages with two RT riders that got over 15,000 miles on those tires, one of them eclipsing 18,000...

FBMP is.... Facebook Marketplace "LT" is this...... BMW K1200LT ... BMW Touring Bike "VFRX" is a Vfr1200X.... Honda Adventure Bike "RT"... is the R1200RT.... The BMW Sport Tourer....

Yep, a women that loves smoked meat is a gem!

Beat you to it... Last night, ordered some Michelin's that I highly regard.

Flippin nice find! My second bike with a place was a 2007 WeeStrom. (Wee.. meaning the 650, rather than the 1000). I put 46,000 on that bike before I gave it to my little brother. Probably the best value Sport-Touring/ADV Touring bike on the market. That little V-twin engine will probably...

Its the crap that builds up in a fuel system, compliments of corn fuel. (n)

By the way, I have a herd that is too large and needs thinning. This BMW RT will cause some of that to happen. I think my LT and my VFRX will hit FBMP.

If you are ever in Glenwood Springs, CO.... visit the restaurant called, Smoke.

Ok fellas, you are going to have a hard time believing this one...... So yesterday, I purchase and take delivery of a beautiful, 2007 R1200RT. The bike only has 13,800 miles on the dial. I bought it from a Mexican man that speaks very, very little English. His wife translates for me, but he...

I'm no fan of 0w5.... Never have and never will use it. Your ass sensor/measurement is something, as far as I am concerned. 0w20 in an FJ Cruiser is very, very different than a stout 10w30 and the 10w30 reigns supreme, as long as you aren't starting the vehicle in negative 30 temps...
