RIP rider.

Today a Biker got hit and the cager that hit them took off. Last I heard the rider was pronounced. RIP rider

I'm late to the party, so how did this turn out for everyone? Just a heads up, no riding up Mt.Fuji in the summer. Doesn't open for private vehicles till late Sept/Early Oct. My 1st trip to Japan I only caught very fleeting glimpses of Mt.Fuji. It was a huge bummer for me. Second trip I could...

My local Canadian Tire gas station is the same. I'm not sure if the fuel is actually still Ethanol free or if they haven't removed the stickers.

That guys channel is incredibly partisan and I wouldn't take any of what he says in his vids seriously. Best to do your own research.

If it's anything like my 1st gen....nope. I'm rolling 240,000kms on my 2014 Volt.

Have to agree with this thread. Feels like people are driving way more aggressively and crazier than I remember. Feels like the majority of riders I see out there are using hidden/flipped plates and splitting between cars at high speeds. Cagers are out there aggressively juking between cars...

All of my previous lawn mowers and snow blowers all said they recommend fuels with less than 10% ethanol. All of the VFR's I have owned state in the owners manuals that if the owner chooses to use a blended fuel it can't be more than 10%. That includes my current FI bike.

So I've been riding the Super Cub a bunch. Haven't gone through a Full tank of gas yet, it really seems to sip. In the meantime I did some cosmetic stuff. I had already replaced the horribly scratched and scored turn signal: BEFORE: I don't know how that happened. :unsure...

Oh that is super disappointing.

Same. The VFR had 4 carbs and getting that plenum back on was always a huge pain. Then having to sync them was tedious. Shell stations are everywhere so it was easy enough to find the fuel without Ethanol for, as you say, cheap insurance. Not sure. I have seen some Canadian Tire gas stations...

Just look it up. If it doesn't bother you, then keep using it. This thread is for those who would rather not put Ethanol in their vehicles. First 3 of my bikes were Carb'd. When I had to do Carb work they definitely looked better after I started avoiding Ethanol. If I have a choice of putting...

To those that know, Shell V-Power is usually labeled as having 0% Ethanol in it. Great for those of us with older bikes, Carburetors, or who just want to stay away from Ethanol. I read on a group chat that apparently Shell will be adding Ethanol to all of their "blends". Here is a reply to...

I also like the look of the Bolt. I think the first gen Volt is styled really well, but the 2nd gen Volt is bleh and I can't seem to find an angle I like on it.

they changed the name to Racing4T, but yeah. being able to pick it up for cheap from Walmart was really nice.
