Well you know that every year we get some new owners to the list and most of them picked their NH as their first bike. So I don't mind repeating that Rotella is safe to use, or telling them they need to clean their carbs. Besides, I asked those same questions a few years ago myself. Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T

But I'm getting tired of preaching to the converted. Where is it written that 20-year-old motorcycles need some mystical, high-tech, witch's brew lubrication? Rotella has been around forever, has proven its reliability over gazillions of miles and is the standard by which all oils are compared. Why would you just throw that common sense track record away and go for some marketing hype written on the side of a can, just because it sounds like your bike might know the difference. I don't get it.
