No offense intended, but W-D 40 is junk. I would use MM Oil if you don't want to opt for the proprietary oil. I haven't researched this type stuff, because I am more into making my hydrogen generator and medical research for my family to not have to rely on the allopaths that aren't as knowlegable about the medicines they presccribe as the pharmacists that fill the scrips. And are mostly ignorant of the virtues of ancient, naturopathic medicines consisting of herbs, spices, and various concoctions. For instance, I spray my garden with a mix of tea made of chewing tobacco and soap. If it doesn't kill the critters directly, they ingest it when they eat the leaves and die anyway. I use cayenne pepper on ant beds in the garden, and gasoline on beds in the yard. I use colloidal silver for all respiratory ailments via nebulizer. This includes pneumonia, either viral or bacterial. I make it myself rather than purchase it from the drug store or health food store, as they charge $4.00 an ounce. I am somewhat knowlegable as to which brands of allopathic concoctions are effective and which of the same substances are not. I have learned the things I know because I have had time on my hands at work to do research online in the past year or two; and now that I am semi - retired, I have even more time. Now, before retiring for the evening (well, morning) I would like to mention the tragedy in Japan, the home of our beloved Nighthawks. If you will note, there is a real keen sense of community, of connection there, and people are helping each other, unlike in the aftermath of New Orleans disaster, where the police and Guard were less than completely effective at preventing the looting going on. I know Aaron Nevill's sister, via my step-mother, and I have heard her perform in person. I was shocked to learn that she was raped in the aftermath of that hurricane, while waiting on a rooftop for rescue. This would never have happened in Japan. If you didn't know, there was child molestation going on in the Dome, and consequently some violent, vigilante reprisal in response. If you will recall, protesters were dispersed with force back in the '60s. Now, the legislative chambers in Wisconsin have been constantly overrun with greedy, selfish demonstrators, who represent people who already earn more than their private enterprize counterparts. The police and fire dept., it would seem, are part of the protest? The Governor is being portrayed as the villain in this scenario. We are about to experience an economic collapse, the result of which will be greater than the "Great Depression. " This is because of the prevalent lack of integrity of people compared to back then. I inquired about pistons for the caliper of my 450 and they wanted $80 for two pieces of steel, which, if I had a lathe, I could make myself and then heat treat. I paid only $110 for my first step-thru Honda 50. Parts were very inexpensive and yet high quality. It was because of the strength of the dollar, which was worth 360 Yen. Now it has sunk to less than 80 Yen to the dollar in recent weeks, and in a few months, will be worth even less across the whole world. We will lose our status as the reserve currency of the wold and gas will be around $6.00, maybe even $8.00 a gallon
The smaller bikes are going to be in big demand soon, because of the coming price of gasoline and even worse, Diesel. I have been sorely tempted to purchase this Brand new Rebel I saw on the showroom floor of my local "stealership" as some call it, because of two reasons: one, it's a gorgeous bike, and two, it will achieve around 110 MPG with my hydrogen generator. I use a bicycle with a 25 cc motor now, which sips gas, at the rate of around 175 MPG, and goes around 30 MPH. I use the 450 for fun, but I need to rebuild the front caliper. The Rebel - if i purchase it - would be for my wife for around town, to replace the 250 Nighthawk, which she is tired of; the 450, which I bought to see if she liked it, is too tall for her. That's fine - I have always wanted the 450. It is the best bike of the Nighthawks, IMHO. Sufficient power and around 60 MPG. I will probably achieve around 100 with my hydrogen generator, and more power as well, which is already scary enough for this old coot, who hasn't been on a relatively powerful bike in several decades. I am sorry if some of my thoughts offend or alarm some of you, but part of being in a group is looking out and sharing that which may help others to be prepared for the pending disaster that is coming. I read yesterday that many of the billionaires are quietly getting out of the stock market, transferring their funds elsewhere for more stability. Like, maybe, precious metals? Personally, I prefer land. You can't plant metals and eat the fruits thereof, and when the price of fuel to harvest crops on those huge corporate farms becomes that high, the crops - if they are grown at all - will likely not be harvested or brought to market, and if they are, the cost of just a meal will be as prophesied in the Bible - a whole day's wage.I will now stay the thoughts coursing through my mind, flowing to my fingertips and to you on this screen.
