What oil is best? and what ratio?

[sawmikaze]

The only reason I did not go to State police was it took so long for me to realize the locals were not going to do anything. FYI, when I cornered him, with my bike, in a gas station to get his plate #, he did a "mock" run me over, stopping an inch or two from me, I thought for sure he would be prosecuted. His mailing address was his parents house, they did not know how to get in touch with him.

Keith and Jeff are right, the roads are very unsafe, but I'm just a stubborn old Bast***. Ironically, I testified at a Traffic Safety Board Meeting not long before my good friend was hit, told how PU truck mirrors were missing our heads by just inches, and they did nothing. Then, that is exactly what happened to my friend, I'm furious about it. I did all the right stuff, and there is still no enforcement. I was thinking of making a riding shirt "Armed, keep your distance".

But in truth, I have not ridden armed, but like Jeff says when someone disrespects you with a car, the adrenaline comes out. You don't want me in your face at the light. One guy got out of his PU truck, and when I started briskly walking toward him he got right back in it.

Here's the problem with letting everyone know you have a gun on a pedal bike mikey.

1 - you don't have the balls to kill anyone..if you did your lifestyle would reflect it.

2 - it invites trouble with someone who may actually have the balls.

3 - it might make someone wanna test your commitment to that gun..that doesn't end well for either party, and probably more so you..people that have nothing to lose are the worst people to fukk with..you probably have something to lose.

4 - you might have gotten lucky and encountered someone that was all talk in that truck...someday you'll meet a different kind of person.

It's a lose/lose situation.

I agree with you Ryan. Most bikers that I know and associated with stopped at stop signs, stopped at red lights. Obeyed every rule of the road just as if they were driving car.
I personally hate it when you see bikers who disobey stop signs and redlights too. In fact I stopped many and read them the riot act when they disobeyed. I called it education.
BUT unfortunately you will never have 100 cooperation in anything. By the same token, you can't let one bad apple spoil the whole tree.
Just sayin.

I had a lady motherfuck me because SHE ran a stop sign ... it made our local paper here about some of the *a-holes on bikes, they throw rocks at cars.

One thing I learned being a cop Ryan. There was a gun on every single call I went on. And it was way up in the thousands. Most solo. The gun was mine. One must act appropriately. 99 percent of the time I never drew it. I resorted to my personal defense. Gotta be able to take care of yourself. [emoji6]
But when you start to think of the danger it is very awakening.
I tried to treat everyone with respect. THEY dictated how the encounter evolved. One can't go in to every situation like a cowboy.
One must be Reserved. BUT ready to do what is necessary when needed.
I always made a pact with myself. I was not going to come out of an encounter 2nd best. [emoji106]

I have tried a few different 2-T oils, some smelled bad, some gave me headaches, some smocked like crazy.

I like the Dolmar oil, been using it for years.
I loved the one bottle of Makita oil that I have spent 2015.
You'll most likely say it's the same, it surely didn't look nor smell the same.

Well, I'm covered for the next couple years, Makita 980.008.607 , 12 pack, got it yesterday.

Different color than the Dolly synthetic. Lol
You got a closeup shot of front and back please?

You had the law on your side, that breeds a totally different mentality.

I wish more law enforcement was like you say you were.

I bought 4 cases of the dolmar, seems like pretty good oil.

AYE.... WTF Ryan. Law don't mean sh't when its life or death bro.

Of course it does, you shoot someone in self defense it's justified, you uphold our justice system.

If I do it I'm going to jail.

Is this the oil thread? I run Rotella full syn 5W40 in my bike.

The people who kill most riders are clueless yakking/texting/nodding left-turners. And they're too stupid to shoot.

Not entirely true. But we will end this.

I got a small sample of Dolmar (1 gallon mix bottle) oil to try from Sondre. I like it so far. Seems to work well.

I've been using it for a few months. Haven't burned anything up yet....

I only found a front shot, I'll get both sides tomorrow, this is from the bottle I used up 2015.


I cut/cropped this out of a picture I took yesterday, I didn't even realize it is labeled for the eastern Europe market.

You pulled any jugs to check the innerds Kevin? After running this oil.

Not as a habit, but yeah. They look like they do with any other oil I've used. Other than Shaeffers. The Shaeffers leaves no carbon at all

Good to know Kevin. Thank you for your feedback.

I can tell you it burns clean at 40:1 ..other than that I have nothing to add.
