seems to work just fine here in California Peter lightning fast

Bummer Kurt, sorry to hear of your distress and broken bones. If you want to ride year round, you may want to relocate to the West Coast, preferrably south of Los Angeles, where the road takes you to some of the best places on earth and the sun shines 340 days a year and very little snow unless you go looking for it in the mountains. I hope you get ur bike back together. At least you have a garage and don't have to get it to the basement or tear it apart in the living room. take care of yourself, give yourself and your bike a little time to get back together right. Peter Escondido, CA

Regretfully I can't get there from here by noon. I have to be home the 20th for a benefit ride with the Southern Cruisers or I could possibly come up the day before and then the long ride home (the I-5 is so boring) Have fun, thanks for the invite, Peter

I have to agree with Tartan, I've used MC oils, then Mobil 1 on a trip from CA to NY and when I got home was real pleased that I didn't have to change the oil on the road, but I found that superior to Mobil 1 was MC oil from AMSOIL. All oils are not equal. It's definitely worth doing some research on and not skimping on quality to save a buck.
