Is it my imagination or .........
« on: July 19, 2014, 10:32:49 AM »
Is it my imagination or does the scooter perform better right after a good fill up? Or did I just get a batch of good gas and have been running bad gas the previous fillup. Just seemed that way yesterday after filling up at a Sunoco station with their super duper premium.

If you normally fill up w/ regular the Premium will be a big boost. Yes you can feel the difference.

I like that Cold beer analogy...

Like with a car, it takes forever to get down to half a talk, but once there you can almost watch the gas gauge drop.

I love the feeling as I ride off the gas station having paid $4,50 for a fill up as opposed to $43 for my car.

I've ridden carburated and air cooled, fuel injected and air cooled, and fuel injected and liquid cooled. They all ran a bit more peppy after a finish filling up. I always use premium from pumps that have a hose just for premium. And most of the time get ethenol free premium.

Whoa Nelly!!!
 A service station for Beer! Keg refills. Tap services like re-knobing/wash, wax,detailing.
 Kimura can run the franchise, B&L will train all the mechanics, Sarge can wear his Daisy Dukes/wife beater "T", and do that sign spinning thingy out front.

We might not have to overthrow anything. Just get them all drunk, and do whatever we want...
This is where forums truly shine. Brilliant!
