RE: st-digest V1999 #84

Maybe I have blinders on but I stick to the recommended Mobil1. I even buy
the more expensive Triumph package and I have my dealer change it for me. I
don't mind the little bit of extra $ and I like to support my local dealer
that sold me the bike. It also gives me an excuse to hang out at the shop
and kick tires.

interesting (I'm not being sarcastic --- but diesel???).   Wow --- I don't
know where to go from here!!!!!
