What have you done on your bike today?

I was on fumes the other day and stopped off at my usual garage - E10 only.

I managed to get to Sainsbury's to fill up but I'll happily push the bike around town rather than use E10.

Used E10 around Ireland as that was all that was available. Couldn't feel any difference.

i noticed, what a power loss, i couldn't believe it. I've got caught short on the 996 and had to use E10 and didn't notice it!! You have to remember The Enfield is a 500 single and with the carb set up on it and me upjetting it as much as i could it was like riding a different bike!!:rolleyes:

Just to add, i went too two petrol stations, first one only had E10, so tried another one, only E10 so had to get some. After about 5 minutes the power loss was shocking and it started popping and farting!! This is the first time i have noticed the complete change of the bike. The quicker i get that shit burnt off the better, it's a bit of an eye opener as to how bad that shit is!!:oops:

Shitter than shit and any supposed gains are wiped out by having to use so much more of it than E5 and also I believe that in many cases it is more intensive to farm the crops that produce ethanol than the crops it replaced.
The same is quite likely true of E5 vs good old 5star.

The weather is looking better and warmer tomorrow so i will go for a long ride to get that shit out of my bike!!:)
 
`E5 & E10 fuel is like the move to electric vehicles. The goal is nothing to do with preventing climate change, the goal is to prevent private travel.

Compare this to replacing gas boilers with heat pumps. The idea isn't to heat homes in a climate-friendly way, the intention is to bring an end to heated homes.

POSIWID

We have had rain the past 3 days, tomorrow and Thursday we may get a little sunshine then back to cold and rain for the next week. I am dying to go fishing but the cold and constant rain has made that a non option

I think we've had rain once in about a month...

Took the Multi to a TRF meeting last night (Melbourne St Andrew). Rode home through the lanes to find a Roe buck standing in the middle of the road, it didn't know which way to turn, I revved the engine and he squatted down as though ready to leap then changed his mind and trotted down the road for 100 yards or so before finding a hole in the hedge. Whilst fun to see them they're an unpredictable hazard on the road.

And at this time of year, youngsters are often following their mother until she chases them off prior to the rutting season in August. If an adult doe runs across the road in front of you there's a high chance a yearling juvenile will follow her and they're the ones you hit.
