JB, I haven't posted in a long time and my be missing something. What does a bald guy in a dress, looking at animal porn carvings have to do with this topic?I smell a lot of opinions around here, opinions being like... well, you know.
The only bit of advice that I see being offered that is unquestionably true is that changing full synthetic oil that often is a waste of your money. But hell, if it makes you feel good, it's your money... do what you want with it. And other than that, just go out and ride the freaking bike how ever you want to. I don't think there is a right way or wrong way as long as it's getting out of the garage.
