• You're a real mess dude. (NT) -- ~ Prozac ~, 21:18:06 06/16/04 Wed

• Yea, your right Prozac, although I'm not the one having trouble with keeping my bikes off the asphalt. Nor do I have a problem with any of my bikes not running. Listen up Nutzac, infact all three brands in my garage are 100% operational and intact. Thanks for your cute reply, but check yourself son. (NT) -- DeaninLBC, 21:31:29 06/16/04 Wed
  • I am getting on my R1 in about 5 minutes sweetheart... I just liked the "hidden horsepower" BS... I suppose you take your worse, generic oil available and test it against the best synthetic and yes, you may find a difference... I just like to think about your world, standing in Chief Autoparts staring at the wall of oil wondering which bottle is going to make your TLR go faster... LOL - what a jackass... (NT) -- ~ Prozac ~, 21:48:58 06/16/04 Wed
    • With all that selection Chief Autoparts is a little too confusing for me, candyass, I usually purchase my oils from the nearest AM/PM mini mart. As for your "my penis is bigger than yours" R1 comment, you and I both know that that R1 is just a loaner until you can get a permanent implant. That's alright little Bro I ride my ZX10 just everyday (check out my penis). And everyday all the R1's are in my mirrors. :) Have fun, pick that bike up and ride.

      • So you pull of the line at the local intersection and manage to pass an R1 and we have to hear about it?... gimme a break sister... any day you want to roll with the crew, come by my board and let us know you're ready.... assuming LBC is what I think it is.

• Some people have found that some oils encourage their clutches to slip, mostly full synthetics gets the complaints in that department. But as for me, my clutch slips no matter what goes in. I guess extra horsepower doesn't mean much if it is getting siphoned off by the clutch. (NT) -- Nonce, 11:12:51 06/17/04 Thu

• Thinner oil is less drag, and why most new cars are coming with 5W20 in them for fuel economy. But I doubt it's measurable on a Dyno. Just stick with what is reccomended. I tried 20W50 in the tiller one time and it shifted like a bear. (NT) -- Gary Foreman - www.tl1000.com, 13:17:23 06/17/04 Thu

• Yea, there have been tests in recent years dealing with oil viscosity and different synthetics. And yes on both accounts. Thinner oil, to a point and synthetics are a plus for power. One things for sure, like NASCAR or not, they spend MILLIONS upon MILLOINS testing this stuff. Exotic ( read that light weight) materials oils, even read where they did tests on water additives and "non-water" counterparts. Yes...there seems to be accross the board a......see inside for more oil related information -- Mike (So. Cal.), 13:50:23 06/17/04 Thu
  • I would venture to guess the degree in which oil matters is just an eschelon or two higher in NASCAR than Dean's garage... but hey, I'm just some punk streetrider... what would I know? (NT) -- ~ Brad (Huntington Beach) ~, 18:50:22 06/17/04 Thu
    • Yea, the statement about the garage funding is quite accurate. My point was to collect opinoins about the issue which has occured. However, there a fool who ASSumes I am looking for one particular responces. But that is the reason why monkeys have yet to evolve. (NT) -- DeaninLBC, 21:26:42 06/17/04 Thu
      • So where are you dude? LBC... If I am right, we are about 20 minutes from each other... things could get interesting... lets rally dude. (NT) -- ~ Brad (Huntington Beach) ~, 22:09:59 06/17/04 Thu
        • Now I am in Chino Hills but did not want to change my user name on this board. However, I am still not far from HB. As we know that is where Bravo Burger is and I do head there from time to time, I know that you head to Bubba Gumps in Monterey each year and finally there are the various canyons around where I know you frequent. It will be nice to run with you. (NT) -- DeaninLBC, 10:21:07 06/18/04 Fri
          • How does July 3rd sound? This weekend I am in Vegas, the next its Havasu. The 3rd could be a good day to pull dawn patrol and have some bonding moments dragging hard parts... I think my fag R1 will be up to the task... I could only hope that it doesn't join the ranks of all the other R1 (NT) -- ~ Brad (Huntington Beach) ~, 12:09:19 06/18/04 Fri
            • This sounds good, should nothing come up such as the honey-dos, because my weekends will be freed up by then. Along those lines, when and where from are you and your boys rolling out for Laguna? I am heading up on Thursday with a friend or two. Brad, should my participation on the 3rd be compromised I will not leave you hanging like a few others tend to do. I will let you know via this or your dark side baord.

              • drop me a line or shout on my board... (brad @ projectmedium . com) (NT) -- ~ Brad (Huntington Beach) ~, 21:27:01 06/20/04 Sun
    • Well......he asked about the subject. And that's one answer for his memory banks (NT) -- Mike (So. Cal.), 11:18:08 06/18/04 Fri
