Is that a lot?  We are paying about $10 US per quart for fully synthetic
15w50 motorcycle oil here in the Great White North.  Now, that's a lot!!!
No slag on anyone in particular...all of our bike specific synthetics are
the same price.  I think that based on this and the fact that someone else
(starts with an 'A' and ends in  advertises that their oil is okay to use in
high performance motorcycles as well as the fact that it's under $7 US ($9
Canadian) is why I'm going to consider running it in the Sprint.

Speaking of oil...I remember seeing something on this digest regarding using
automotive Mobil 1 instead of motorcycle specific Mobil 1.  It was a
representative of Mobil 1 answering someone regarding what the difference
(if any) in the two oils was.  It seems to me that the Mobil 1 automotive
oil was okay for bikes, too.  If Mobil 1 automotive oil is okay to run in
bikes then I'm in real luck.  That stuff is only $7 a litre, here.  Does
anyone remember or have a copy of this information?
