Just kidding. You are such a master I'd like to be around you a lot to watch and learn. (It's a poker game regular; "You took all my money so now you have to marry me so I don't starve." or "You are so ugly, I'd marry you out of sympathy". That sort of thing. But don't worry, you are not my type. Too ugly.

Hey Seb, will you marry me?

Holy Socks! Fabulous. A Work Of Art.

I was historically using dino oil (non synth or combined) on my first VFR, on '01. I called someone, I cannot remember exactly who, that I considered an expert and was told I could switch from dino to synth and back at will. No harm done. On the 8,000 mi oil change interval subject, that same '01 got irregular oil changes at 5,000 to 8,000 mi with one at ~10,000. When she was KIA at 105,000 mi. I had taken a sample of her last oil change and post crash sent it to Blackstone Labs to have the oil analysed. That oil had about 4500 mi. on it. The analysis report (in my gallery) said the oil has slightly more metals than their standard measurement oil which was 2,900 mi. The difference they attributed to the extra miles on my oil compared to the standard 2900 mi. oil. They concluded that given the high mileage on my bike, the sample was better than average implying my oil change routine was fine. The comments concluded "Nice bike!" YMMV. Hope this helps Dutchy. BTW: your new machine is fabulous.

The purring is the V2 engine in the Honda Transalp that is doing the filming It boldly goes where no VF500 will ever go.. http://vid113.photobucket.com/albums/n206/Dutchy_748/alpie_zpsd3z5ueyk.mp4 This mind you NOT on dirt trackt nobly tires.... The VF500 is far more nimble, as expected. It weighs less and with a 120 ear (110 is even standard)..... The fun is that you can really revs the thing without reached sily speeds as fast as you do on the VFR750.... Boy was the underside clatty... before.jpg After some elbow grease..... IMAG1861.jpg Cleans up well, just like you (although not necessarily your mouth!)
