Because this is a declared oil window war and Bill is participating in it.




Just like he participates in every oil war, because he loves it.




Because he spouts off his outrageous one-liner statements, because he agitates and tosses endless nonsensical verbal one liner grenades during all of these endless oil brand and oil window wars.



mmmmmm ......  that reminds me of an important part of oil war etiquette.





Drums ..... are you to be considered a participant now?





Actually, calling for polite behavior during a oil window war is sorta humorous, especially if you are incidentally declaring yourself as a participant in doing so.





Drums, have you been issued your Kevlar underwear yet?   Which side are you declaring for, Actual Factual or Nonsensical?   Choose your side, then you go see their quartermaster and draw your uniform, kit and weapons.



Grin    since you are asking for politeness during an oil window war and taking up for Bill, one would suspect you are leaning towards the Nonsense side, or else you are a flower bearing peacenik who has accidentally wandered into a crossfire zone over a mine field.



==========================================



And Lastly, do all you "vertical" guys realize how ridiculous you look doing a roadrunner on your head while you are checking your oil level and trying to balance that bike at the same time?

Good point.

Likely if we asked how many Savages that have been dropped doing the Road Runner exercise we'd get a "Huh ----- I dunno" from those who should be answering "Yeah, I dropped mine once."


Drums has effectively silenced Bill, since Bill only speaks in humorous one liners and it is difficult for him to phrase those so they could also be read as serious material.   Serious and Bill don't have much acquaintance, so they are feeling out their new relationship as they go .....

Besides, he's all wounded now .... we done been pickin' on him again.


Grin


I think he'll recover shortly though, as he still has 2 free shots left.

You can vote all you like, for any or all of the above poll items


We are really looking for the few folks honest enough to admit they almost lost it while "doing the Road Runner"  (craning their head sideways while bent over at the waist while balancing a motorcycle on its nebulous "true vertical point").

My glasses always slipped just about the time I finally got it right .....

That's nice. Bill.   Good to know you got a regular oil window checking schedule that you follow religiously.

I generally change my oil and filter over the Christmas  New Years vacation week every year for lack of something better to do.   I know the synthetics can last longer, but I get bored and am looking for something bikish to do.   Plus my oil does get dirty .....  (I put too many miles on it).

Ok, Mscepu101 counts #2 on Bill,  but since he jumped onto the question he's gotta take a poke at answering it.

Why does oil get dirty?

Easier yet, get Bill to tell you why his oil doesn't get dirty ....

"He has zero blow by, zero combustion by products, etc all because his red Klotz racing oil has Super Techniplate Technology."

Bill, my oil gets dark because I run the immortal snot out of my bike for thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands of miles, and any real-world oil does that over a year's time when you use it hard.


Grin   Grin   Grin


Bill, are you intentionally provoking Newbies now?   Got Drums defending your honor and Mscepu101 counting you down to zero.   Good job, get them newbies all involved.


=======================


Poll is looking interesting too -- got one honest person reporting anyway.

And yes Rosemary, you have to vote to get to see the results.

We all did the Suzuki Method back when we were newbies, so don't say you don't have any applicable comments.

Ok.  I'll bite.

I'm just spit balling... but most oil in a normally aspirated engine will quickly turn black due to carbon, mechanical wear particles, gases and the already established left over oil that never really gets drained out of the engine.

Am I close?  Roll Eyes

Well, Bill -- is that enough answer?


if not then go here -- you should remember this because you graced it with your little one liners back when it was written.

You don't get carbon in your oil if you have a good ring to cylinder wall seal,You don't get metal particles if you have no wear,I have a magnetic drain plug but its clean no metal.You can't buy cheap oil and expect the same results.K

K



Like Zorro had his "Z" ....

.... Superman had his "S"  ....


     Wink      The Klotzman has his "K"



Bill, you do realize that although I won't fire back at you until you rack up one more provoke, that Verslagen has actually used more Klotz in a Savage engine than you have and he is not limited in any way that keeps him from stating facts about his Klotz experiences.
