That's my two cents. Oh, and I asked this noob question before, but is there any benefit to filling my savage with high octane?


i believe the last time this was debated the overall concensus was that save the pennies and use them for a donut, then of course that opened a whole other can of worms of "which is the best donut"  i like choc. old fashioned, sombody liked the orange frosting thingy's. ect.. 8)  8)  8)

all because "you don't have to  be hungry to eat a donut"  8)

Gotta love how threads wander away in their own direction.  From oil to helmets to gas to donuts...

It's good to be a part of all this.

The thread ACTUALLY went to donuts... wow. To add cheapo gasoline to the fire, I'll ask... aren't krispy kreme donuts just way too sweet?

Oh, and do fuel injector/carb cleaner gas additives do anything?

Yes, find some Seafoam and use one ounce per gallon.

Hit the search button and put in 'seaform' to see some
comments about it.

Sorry I almost missed this thread. I guess I'll get to weigh in on several topics.

Dino oil is fine if you change it enough.  If you go with synthetic, stay away from the ones that are "fuel saving".

Yes, wear a helmet if you think your head is important.  The only problem I have with people not wearing helmets is the increased medical expenses that society pays for people with head injuries.  Maybe there should be a requirement for accident insurance or proof of financial responsibility if you choose not to wear a helmet.  Maybe I'm just getting stingy in my old age, but I don't want to pay for other people's medical costs because they want the freedom to ride without a helmet.  BTW, that's why I haven't joined the AMA.  I don't think it's rational to give money to an organization to lobby for the repeal of helmet laws when they know the result is increased severe head injuries.

I use premium gas because it doesn't have ethanol in it in this market. I will use regular gas if I know it has not ethanol.  

Besides I'm way too fat to need any more donuts.  But while we're on that subject, Krispy Kreme donuts are not too sweet.  If you want a non-sweet donut, get a bagel.

So what kind of oil do you think you should use to fry donuts in, dino or synthetic?

next...

I know chocolate's supposed to be bad for dogs. Ethanol is bad for my pet savage?

And you don't consider Dunkin Donuts to be vastly superior to Krispy Kreme?

I happen to like Dunkin Doughnuts as well but to say that Krispy Kream is "too sweet" is like saying that you have too much money.

Kramer from Sienfeld "Well that's just crazy talk!"

Homer Simpson "I never met a doughnut I didn't like."
                         "Mmmmmm.....Doughnuts..."

There is no such thing as a bad doughnut, only bad doughnut makers. Grin

if your donut is too sweet, drink your coffee black, it ressembles dino oil, which is my preference. helmet usage is like a candybar, sometimes i do sometimes i dont. fatalaties dont occupy hospital beds.

No choice but to wear a Lid here ... it's the law ... and even if it weren't, I'd still wear one anyway ...

Not fussy on doughnuts ... do have an occasional Boston Creme though ... in honor of my fave hockey team, the Boston Bruins!

As far as oil goes, I've been running Suzuki brand 10W-40 dino-juice motorcycle oil since I bought my Savage in '03, but would like to try synth, but am concerned about clutch slippage ... any specific recommendations (brand and weight)?

Thanks!
