    I used to use standard SG on everything. Then had a mech at the local power sports shop tell me it dulled / oxidized aluminum so I quit. I think they make an SG specific for aluminum now, though.

    Yeah a lot of reading is saying SG has high PH levels.

    i wouldn't say "ruin" the dual sport riders and the wheelie boyz are two totally different disciplines
    personally, I fully support the bike life scene....


    but perhaps there is correlation between the two, every kid I pass has singled me to bring it up lol

    I need to dial in my one wheel game

    I think most people dont know the difference between a dirt bike and a street legal dual sport..

    Hell, I tell sport bike guys to pop up, when i see them!

    I just rev bomb them. Id probably die if I tried to wheelie. I really would like to disable my abs, so at least I could lock the rear tire.. But noooo, Ducati had to start being dumb in 2019 and conform to euro safety standards, and no allow me to turn off ABS. Its just a fuse. I dont know if I can buy a switched fuse, and turn it on/off without causing a check engine light. That would be the best situation

    And just like that, my bike life is over. Sold my Grom a year and a half ago, and have regretted it for about the same amount of time it's been gone. Sold my WR250R in the spring. As much as I tried to like it, we never gelled. Just sold my 2009 KTM 200XC this morning. Haven't ridden it much since the end of the 2012 season. It's a great bike and deserves to be owned by someone who will rip on it. The last picture.

    At least we said goodbye on a beautiful morning with this magnificent view of nature's splendor.
