Usually a 5 gallon limit. Note: do NOT use a bleach bottle for used oil! Some places will not take it if you do!

It's not that HDs suck, it's the owners where the problem is. No, its the 1930 technology at 2014 prices! |

I must disagree that nothing sounds like a Harley! A large rototiller (or any other power equipment with a two-cylinder engine) with a bad muffler sounds a lot like a Harley!

Harleys are 1930s technology at 2014 prices.

HVAC control panel, which cannot be repaired & most be replaced as a unit. The panel is electronic, the car has auto HVAC. |

My Qlink has a good size trunk & a huge (will take a full helmet, armored jacket, map book, and Sunday paper)top box...but no storage under the seat. (Its engine access only.)

Hey thanks, tarkus. At least I now know the why of crapanol. All comes down to politics anymore, doesn't it. Sigh. So was gasohol basically the same thing as ethanol is today? Just without the political backing to force-feed it? >'Kat I recall the old "gasohol" was a METHANOL blend. Methanol, of course, is highly corrosive & not suited for most vehicles. E10 has been a non-problem...run it for most of 15 years with no trouble. I usually do buy the cheapest gas, have had no issues. |

AMC had a problem in the 70's, when they tried to sell the Matador in Mexico. In Spanish, "Matador" means KILLER!
When I drove a wrecker, I once got a call for a dude who locked himself out of his truck. His name? Dick Hertz.

What a load. Ethanol gas has been around for 20+ years...I have been running it for at least 15. NO, ZERO, NOT ONE SINGLE problem!

One thing I picked up: for the figure-8, counter intuitively, it was a bit easier if you go a little FASTER. I found a first-gear idle (250cc Nighthawk) was perfect.
If you can, try to get a bike that does NOT have mechanical front brakes!
