    I remember seeing Spectro at a small independent shop I used years ago but thats one oil I have never tried but always heard great things about it. I'm 100% conventional in my old bike and will continue that howeverI as many cars and trucks that I use Synthetics in I have also never used...

    Its winter time, dont forget the gas additive of your choice if its gonna sit....

    Personally my old bike is my 2nd bike and may sit, the longest was 2 years when I had health issues but sitting 2 months or 6 months during the winter is not out of the norm. I never know if it will sit when I park it so so I make sure the gas is always full to the top and protected and ready...

    Lets talk about new vehicles

    I have owned many brands of cars / trucks from budget to $100K+ over the years one vehicle stands out as having the best seats and seat position and was the least tiring to drive. I love cars but I hate driving because I hurt! I did a 6 hour drive and when I got out I remember thinking I...

    My 27 year old Harley that I purchased new has never had one drop of Ethanol (100% pure 91 boat gas pump one block from the house) She is always on a tender and I use both mixed together, Sta-bil AND Marvel Mystery oil. I fill the tank to the top as full as it will go with pure gas and mix every...

    Video Signal and HDMI extender

    If the cam is a pro model does it have native SDI out? I do lots of Church AV and over the years I would say 9 out of 10 service calls somehow can be traced back to something HDMI. I hate HDMI for anything pro but I get it... Most Church PTZ cams I do now I run a NDI network via cat6 and I am...

    Never considered the VR1 Valvoline in my Harley. Doing a quick search its suggested it has high ZINC, I see other Harley folks that run that oil and have for years that love it. I wanted to see if I could find how much Zinc the Valvoline has vs my beloved Bel-Ray. Looks like Valvoline post the...

    Ever use Marvel Mystery oil? Why?

    I find MM Oil does serve a purpose and is far from Snake Oil when used with air cooled engines from my 97 Harley to all my lawn mowers. I use a mix of Marvel and Sta-Bil and Ethanol free gas in every tank in my Harley's the last 25 years! Lucky, I have 100% pure gas at my local corner store...
