    Pretty wild. Jeremy Teasley throwing down a 1.58 short time with a stock swingarm may be yhe most impressive part, haha. Relevance to BITOG: Not much, but Alisyn oil is called out

    Mrs. H.S. Ball's Chutney

    Anyone ever see this stuff in stores? It looks like it is available in most varieties online, so that may be my only source of supply. It's really good stuff, I've choked down more than a couple questionable meals thanks to the goodness of Mrs. Ball's. Anyone else a fan? http://www.mrsballs.com

    New Amsoil labeling

    This is of no consequence to anybody or anything, I just thought it was hilarious and hadn't seen a post referring to it... Amsoil has "Metric Motorcycle Oil". It's marketed to "metric motorcycle owners who demand the absolute best". The 20w50 is just "Synthetic Motorcycle Oil" but you can use...

    KitchenAid mixer repair

    So the Mrs's Kitchen Aid stand mixer went belly up. We bought the required repair parts online from an official source, but I had to balk at the recommended Benalene 930-2 lubricant, $35 for a 1 qt. can. Used Amsoil food grade grease instead. It's X-Treme synthetic, so it has to be good, lol...

    2013 R1200RT

    There is a veritable laundry list of generally permissible viscosity classes, all meeting "API SF ACEA A2, or better". There are minimum temperatures listed, with no upper temperature limit published for any grade. I'm not one to put too much thought into fluid requirements beyond checking the...

    948B Vs. 945A Ford specs

    I promise that I searched... I see that 948B is the 5W-20 called out for Euro 1.6L Ecoboost Fords. 945A is called out for US spec 1.6L Ecoboost Fords. The Lubrizol relative performance tool doesn't compare them, and I haven't been able to divine the differences via google. Definitely not losing...

    BMW RnineT

    Some details from Rideapart This thing looks pretty cool to me. I have the same powertrain in my R1200RT and it hustles that barge around 2-up with luggage in fine shape, so this should actually be a pretty decent performer. The video is pretty lame, but the bike still looks cool. Some...

    Honda Grom

    I think it's pretty cool. 125cc, 12" wheels, 9HP, 130 MPG, 4 speed tranny, Might replace my Kymco Super 9 with one to use as my work beater and teach my daughter to ride. Some people won't "get it". That's fine with me.

    Dominator Vs. Interceptor

    2-stroke oils. I've been using Dominator exclusively, besides the tank full of unknown garbage the dealer filled it with, in my 50cc, air-cooled, oil injected scooter (Kymco Super 9). The scoot has a Leo Vince pipe, carb re-jetted to suit, and some CVT modifications. This has worked superbly...

    2013 Focus ST

    Test drove one of these yesterday. Top shelf, fully loaded example in Tangerine Scream metallic. Wow. I'm almost certainly going to buy one of these. The automotive press has gushed on about this car quite a bit, and I'd say that they're not wrong and haven't really been exaggerating.
