Barry:
Yea, I know I'm burning (or passing) oil.  There is no oil on the floor of
my garage.  However, Triumph says one quart every 1000 miles is on the high
side of normal (Right, Keith?).

I bought the bike with 4200 miles last September and don't know how it was
broken in.  It's just something I live with.  I was just wondering if I
should retune the EFI or something.  One lister (Colt 45) says: "The race
tune does run richer and would make it smell more, especially in on-off
throttle conditions."  That makes sense to me, especially on a twisty ride
like I was on.
