... was that fully synthetic oil lasts far longer without breaking down than normal oil. This seems to be supported by everything I've read so far. Being as you're using fully synthetic there's no way I'd change it after 500 miles/1 year. But then as you know, I'm a Scrooge and hate spending money ...

Must devalue it having that ¥*&% name on it

I lusted after one of those for years, I watched Foggy, Bayliss, Shakey and Hizzy on those bikes and for me 916's are right beside the 70's strokers as the best looking/sounding racing bikes ever. Fwiw I nearly bought a genuine 916 SPS, but it had been involved in a shunt and had lost its numbered f...

Totally agree.

Some interesting photos of the factory race bikes being prepared for racing for the first time. I know i am more than a little biased but nothing on two wheels will ever look better IMHO. https://scontent-frt3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/14590418_10154120678637893_1035663175699434794_n.jpg?oh=04d1716a13000e4786fd4f82afeaee9f&oe=5860D97A ...

Yes I think manners and politeness are being lost in todays selfish society. I always make an effort to be polite and courteous to other people and quite often people looked shocked when you behave like this, which is just wrong. Goes both ways....those ...
