    Don't under estimate a good aftermarket windshield. I have a Madstad windshield with added winglets on my NC700X. It changed it from hell on the expressway to a joy to ride on a long 2500 mile trip. Find a bike you like and then research the specific bike forums for wind protection ideas.

    Difference between these 2 pennzoil products

    The only oil I buy in quart bottles is motorcycle oil. It's not usually available in larger jugs. I do keep the empty 13oz oil bottle that came with my lawnmower. I flip and drip all the empty jugs/bottles into it throughout the year. When it comes time for an oil change in the mower, I top...

    Property taxes vs home appreciation

    Property taxes seem to only go up. Even when the housing market goes down, taxes hold firm. Elderly folks may want to consult a financial advisor about asset protection before selling and cashing out. Liquid cash and other assets are vulnerable to medical bills, Medicare spend-down and long...

    Difference between these 2 pennzoil products

    I use a black sharpie marker to write on the side of the bottle "OPEN" and which car it goes to. That way I know I'm using up the open oil first. Also, my daughter can find the correct oil to put in her car when needed. I only buy the 5qt jugs of oil due to cost of the single quarts being so...

    I love the feel 270 twin in my Honda NC700. The V4 in my ST1300 is like a sewing machine. So smooth. I'll miss it for sure if I get the AT. Not sure I would like a 180 degree twin. They are kinda buzzy.

    It really depends on your use case. If you want to tear up the dirt, maybe a Honda 300L Rally? Or something like that.

    I'm looking at an adventure bike also. Top of my list is the Africa Twin Adventure Sport (2024+) with the new 19" front wheel. My use case is one big trip (3000-6000 miles depending on destination) per year and multiple long weekend trips. The groups I currently ride with are all street...

    ATF for Power Steering?

    I used the Honda fluid in my 2010 CRV. It wasn't that much more expensive than ATF.

    Run that engine before moving the car

    I start the engine, then clean the windows. It's been running at least 30 seconds by the time I'm ready to go. I just take it slow out of the neighborhood and for the first mile or so. The dealer put 0W-16 in my 2024 Rav4 at my last service. I don't hear any strange clicks or rattles when...

    Mobil 1 Hybrid formula

    Did not work for me. I went to pick up my order and received only one jug. Talked to them and said that the SKU matches one jug. I returned it for a refund.

    Toyo oil viscosity - 0W16

    I changed the oil and filter in my 2024 Rav4 Gas at 500mi with 0W-20 and again at 5000mi with 0W-20. It got around 36MPG consistently, which is as good or better than the advertised MPG throughout the summer on the 0w_20 (driving conservatively in ECO mode). The free 10Kmile Toyota care oil...

    Debating getting a Passport Card

    I renewed my passport at the local post office back in 2015. I checked the box on the form and it was only $10 in addition to the fee for renewing the passport booklet.

    What will mix with motor oil and water?

    This is what I was thinking. Tilt the tank so the water collects in the bottom corner and suck out the water with a MityVac.

    Debating getting a Passport Card

    I got the Passport ID card. It was only a $10 adder when I renewed. I figured that it can be used as a valid picture ID whenever two pieces of identification are needed or if I lost my passport book. I haven't needed to use it since I got it in 2015. Not sure If I'll get it again.

    Who changes there oil after a bottle of techron etc?

    I try to limit Techron use to the last 500-1000 miles before an oil change. If I remember correctly, the label on the bottle recommends an oil change after use.

    Can oil be run for 2 years in a Corvette that get 500 mi/yr?

    Can oil be run for 2 years in a Corvette that get 500 mi/yr?

    Not sure what the difference is in your examples. As long as the engine gets up to temperature, whenever it is driven, it shouldn't matter much. At only 500 miles a year, miles are miles. Edit: Oops... I read it as Two 250 mile rides, not 250 Two mile rides... My bad
