You may have minimal alcohol content, but we have happier squirrels and fish! It's all about the environment man! Well, that and political donations!

I've heard of the "beaker check" before but never tried it. Fuel costs too much to be sloshing it around in a jar!



Ride safe.

There's a reverse lever???

If there was I'd use it every time I back my bike into the garage. That little edge on the garage slab is a bugger.


Nice to know about switching to reserve for the water issue. Not so sure that happens everywhere (assuming condensation from temps) being from MI I'd say more often in the north than the hot south. Here in FL it doesn't really get cold for condensation type problems that I've seen north. But, when it's 70 here people dress like they're going out in a blizzard.

screw the squirrels, my nuts are safer without them, and 2 headed fish are easier to catch.

erizo - he has a hole in the ozone layer with his name on it.

Re:Reserve lever 11 Months ago  
My question about the fuel lever is WHERE is it pointing...I get the top is on..bottom is reserve and 9:00 is off.....but which end is doing the pointing..I have a long thin pointed end and a shorter rounder end....??? so which one should I use as the pointer? I'm guessing the long narrow pointed end..but I've been wrong before..any suggestions?

Here's how it is on my bike.

My pointed end DOWN (6:00) is normal. Pointed end FORWARD (9:00) is closed. Pointed end up (12:00) is reserve.

jd750ace, I spent 90 days in a little village 60 miles just north of London at the first of the year. I have to disagree with you on your staement that we have happier squirrels, thier squirrels are fat and sassy because no one can hunt them. I saw grey and red squirrels that were as big as most fox squirrels here in GA. My 18yo son loves squirrel so much I don't think we have a single one within a 1/4 mile of the house.
