The trouble with any enthusiasts is that there are as many opinions on things like oil, filters, tyres, batteries and the like as there are different makes. The trouble is we all think we know best and maybe we do for our selves with our preferences.
Me I use fully synthetic engine oil, but, I can see the problems using it in an older engine that has been run on mineral oil all its life, synthetic oil has great scrubbing qualities that keep the inside of the engine really clean along with the pump and oil ways, but using synthetic oil in an old engine could release all sorts of crud and sludge that could actually block a fine oil way causing all sorts of lubrication issues.
Me I'm a Bridgestone Battlax man myself, other say they are shit in the wet, me, I'm made of sugar I don't go out in the rain for fear of dissolving, they certainly give me confidence, but then I have not tried any other modern tyre.
I'm also a Southern Comfort man, it's much to sweet some say, well foccing good job to they will not be drinking mine then.
Anyway Guys, this is a great forum and I for one am really glad I discovered it, I have had many a laugh on here, have been given and received, gratefully much excellent advice and help. And I am sure this will continue into 2017 and on to 2018, I just hope I do. (tommyardin = Old Bastard)
Hope you all had a great Christmas with those you love (Many your Yamahas) also have a great New Year.
A quick joke for you , it's quite old and goes around now and again.
Princess Anne has an official Royal visit booked to visit Reykjavic Iceland.
Princess Anne's plane lands at Reykjavic airport and is met by the Icelandic Prime Minister, as they are talking the Prime Minister notices beads of sweat on Princess Anne's
face. Feeling a little awkward about looking and not wanting to appear rude he commented politely, I notice Mam that you have a fur hat on, in fact it's a hat made from Arctic Fox, we sometime locally call it Silver Fox here in Iceland, and it is a great insulator against the cold, but this is our summer and if you wish to remove the hat you might be more comfortable.
Princess Anne thanks him for his consideration but said that she had official counsel with the Queen before the trip and the Queen had said 'Where is it you are going again Anne?' I replied Reykjavic Mam and she said 'Where the fox hat'
Its the way you say it.
