For what it's worth.

Has this officially become an engine oil thread now? What's the criterion for that kind of thread threshold anyways?

Totally my fault. Let's end it while we still have some credibility left.

Hey Rick , what else did you do at rpm besides clean filters ? Maybe that is why mileage went up.

Replaced several fairing screws. Other than that, it was just a visit to catch up with Randy and Robert. They bought me lunch and we spent the time talking crap about the how the country is falling apart.

For sure, my experience is nothing but a single datapoint in a sea of variables, but I feel very confident about the attention I paid to the variables, and I'm convinced the oil has had an effect that I was able to clearly notice. I asked myself all the same questions that are obvious; how can lubrication affect gear ratio?, Was I not looking at my speedo closely enough to be accurate?, etc., etc., but I have no doubt.

[Mark Olson]

cool , sounds like a good time.

..... I discovered my cruising rpm had dropped by about 250 rpm, and when I filled up for my commute the next day, I discovered my mileage had increased from 40mpg to 44mpg.

Highly recommend the stuff.

Too late!

This is Karma for your shitty comment about me yesterday, and by your very own hand too, I didn't have to say a word.
I love it, this one's going in the file.

People have previously referred to Randy performing miracles on their bikes but this takes it to a whole new level.

I see you ride about half the mileage that I do, in fact less than half
Midget.

Good on you Mike, you are lucky man to spend so much time in the saddle, half your luck.

Mr. ZOA NOM, I hope to meet you at a Rally some day; we seem to be in agreement on a variety of topics...

Midget.

Having just read his last posts, I think you would have much in common.

Keep slogging away Mike, you might get lucky and land a blow one day.

Yeah, Noel's comprehension skillz need some work. Maybe it's the high altitude, and thin air (that won't fit through his filters) that is at the root of it. In any event, I'm in for a romantic getaway, as long as he realizes who's pitchin and who's catchin. 

[Mike Ramos]

Holy Toledo Noel!

What is comparing mileage have to do with such a retort?  By your own statement(s) you are very hard on your engines... perhaps you consider it something positive?

My gosh man, if this constant searching the dregs provides for you a particular badge of merit, I concede you win & you win by a large margin.

Again, I suggest the PM department for such nonsense.

Aww... where's the fun in that, Mike?  We never would have learned about those air catching filters...

[Mike Ramos]

Well you know Mr. Nom,

Perhaps you do have a point; also we would never have learned about ad hominem comments while deftly avoiding the subject originally brought forth... repeatedly used as an MO... seems as if hostility knows no bounds... nor does one's impudence...

But alas, I shall defer to the PM's.

Stay in good humor,

Mike Ramos.   

[TexasDave]

I love this forum!!!  Seriously guys DO NOT relegate this to PMs----I laughed till my gut hurt and laughed again when I reread this whole thread. This is what this forum is all about.    Dave

I can't speak for my antagonist, but there's not a scintilla of hostility on my end. All in good fun.

[Mike Ramos]

Okay TexasDave, one more attempt...

ZOA NOM you are correct on two points!  There is no hostility and it is all in good humor...

However, also correct regarding the antagonist... such tendencies towards truculence...  me thinks it best additional comments to the PM department if so inclined...

Okay gentlemen; stay in good humor.
