'Sup, ******?
I have this recurring question, when I see a group of (usually) Harley riders amassed at a gas station, admiring each other's bikes. This is going to sound "disparaging" but I don't mean it to, really. My question is, why do (usually) Harley riders seem to gravitate toward that "2-wheeled, rolling holiday parade float" look with their bikes? It's like a 50mph hiway vacuum-robot with dangly fringe..... If they get into a wreck, it'll take 3 days to find the body under all that displaced piņata hardware.
Can anyone answer that for me?

OK guys, this should come as no surprise to ANY of us... Smaller engines work harder and hotter to do the same job as larger engines. Extended drain intervals are FINE if you do oil analysis and know your additives. Most people don't. Those who DO, usually end up spending as much or MORE in time, methods, and supplies, than if they'd just change the oil!! My advice, buy the best oil and filter you can afford, and just CHANGE it, every 3,000-4,000 miles. You can TELL the difference when you pull a valve cover to do an adjustment....or dig deeper for a head gasket job. Just do it.

On the topic of small engines.... I been driving my Brother's Scion xb with a 1.5L | 4 Cylinder engine and manual tranny and this thing is Fun, yeah the engine is working it's butt off, but because of the High Revs, I feel like I am driving a race car at 40mph makes me want to take a second look at the new Scion FRS.
