I find with the proper clothing it's easy to cope with the cold (ex. 'lectric vest, heated grips, etc). However, except if you've got studded tires or some other extreme measures, ain't nothing gonna help you out on the ice.<BR/><BR/>Congrats on the brass nut ;-)<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>LuckyLuckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07858400386113262050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20511073.post-65428173636580400892007-03-26T06:50:00.000-06:002007-03-26T06:50:00.000-06:00A few years ago, it was difficult to find syntheti...A few years ago, it was difficult to find synthetic motor oils, and equally difficult to find someone who admitted to <BR/><BR/>using them. Nowadays, however, you can find synthetic motor oils on the shelves of Wal-Mart, and other retailers, and the <BR/><BR/>number of people turning to synthetic motor oils, particularly in light of the recent events affecting fuel prices, has <BR/><BR/>risen greatly.<BR/><BR/>So why do people use synthetic motor oils rather than sticking with the old petroleum based stand-bys which are <BR/><BR/>admittedly cheaper?<BR/><BR/>1. Let's start with the cost per quart issue. Synthetic motor oils ARE more expensive at purchase. However, these oils <BR/><BR/>last longer, requiring fewer oil changes. As a synthetic motor oil outlasts several changes of petroleum based <BR/><BR/>lubricants, the ultimate out-of-pocket cost of the lubricant is less. This cost savings becomes even greater if you have <BR/><BR/>someone else change your oil for you rather than doing it yourself!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20511073.post-10417844806671810582007-03-07T21:28:00.000-07:002007-03-07T21:28:00.000-07:00Glad the weather worked out for ride, despite the ...Glad the weather worked out for ride, despite the chill.Biker Bettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17994597212491993059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20511073.post-89977345816017462342007-03-06T21:44:00.000-07:002007-03-06T21:44:00.000-07:00Hey Christine the Marlboro Girl!Good to hear you g...Hey Christine the Marlboro Girl!<BR/>Good to hear you got out in that weather.... hope all is well with you!Kathleen Jennettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17527996189920596997noreply@blogger.com
