Ha! Do you mean Cameron's on Brick Blvd.? I prefer to go on "Bag Pipe Night". Try the haggis, neeps and tatties and tip your waitress! Haha!
Actually, I've never been there, but let me know if you're heading that way!

Best,
Mike

I think that's a fallacy. Engine wear was always touted to be greatest at STARTUP not WARM-UP. Oil pressure builds in seconds. Not to mention modern oils, especially synthetics provide much better protection than they used to.

No forget fallacy, I'm going with hogwash.

Kev.   Aren’t you at least a little bit nervous you are wearing out your engine faster with your sump spacer and all that extra cold sluggish oil?   :whip2:

Accentuate the positive;
Eliminate the negative;
Latch on to the affirmative;
Don't mess with Mister In-Between.

I, for one, am willing to accept the fact that my bike will wear out "50% faster than the average one" regardless of how much oil is in the crankcase, since I'm already convinced that it was built on a Monday morning in Mandello del Lario, after Guiseppe drank entirely too much Grappa over the weekend. It's just a theory.


Best,

Mike
