A friend of mine picked up a Suzuki M109R. That bike is just incredible. It's half sport bike - half power cruiser. Almost 130 hp at the rear tire.

OK, maybe you're talking about Harley's, but my V-Star 1100 has: #1. Great brakes - Dual discs up front, single disc rear. They can really haul the bike to a stop in a hurry. #2. Great tires and awesome traction on turns. I've had the bike down almost scraping the pipes and it felt just fine...

Blasphemy, I know.

didn't think so. Thanks for the confirmation. sdude: i'm jealous of your mpg numbers. i'm getting 21 mpg in my 6. i almost went for the 3.

resurrecting this one .. I have a 2006 Mazda 6 with the 3.0L Duratec V6. The car calls for 5W20. Is there anything I can hurt by using 0W30 GC? I have 12 quarts waiting for the next 2 oil changes.

I drive past the AZ in Mckeesport every day. Stopped in today and picked up their last 6 quarts of GC. Must be new stuff, it's M053. I didn't have to dig, it was right up front. After the 6, I started hitting the domestic Syntec.

it's M052XXX oh well. Any GC is better than no GC. It's all I can find in the area.

FOUND IT!! I just bought 6 of the 10 qts of GC at the AZ off the Butler exit on the turnpike. I was up there for fire school and decided to stop on a whim. Sure enough, the first 10 qts on the shelf were GC. Behind that was the domestic stuff. I don't know if it's the green or the gold. I know...

The Pittsburgh area has no GC, green or gold.

Hoppes to clean it and RemOil for lube. Shooting cleaner ammo helps too. I changed from Remington white box to Blazer CCI (actually cheaper when you buy it online). Big difference in the residue left in my gun.

My carry piece is a Glock 27 (.40 S&W). I'm a big fan of Glock. Before I bought it, I shot Sigs, Berettas, Springfields, and 1911's, and the Glock came out on top for me. Not to say the others aren't nice guns. I was particularly impressed with the Sig, but I just like the feel of the Glock better.

McKeesport doesn't have any. I was just there today after work. I could have saved you the drive out to Latrobe. I checked that one a couple weeks ago. No go. I've yet to find the stuff in the Pittsburgh area. It's all domestic.

at least you've actually seen a bottle. i've hit a few auto zones in my area and none have GC.

the 3.0 Duratec in my Mazda calls for 5W-20. That's what it gets. No complaints here.

Almost 900 miles on my 2006 Mazda 6s V6. Just had her first oil change yesterday. Castrol GTX that I got on sale. Next planned change is at 2500 miles, then at 5000 I'm switching to synthetic and doing 5000 OCI.
