If I'm not mistaken the references to castor oil, as you might have guessed by now refers to Castrol brand motor oil and their famous blend of two stroke oil. I ran that brand as a kid, if for no other reason than Yamaha's Yamalub full synthetic 2T oil was more than two to three times the price. I did love the smell of the dino over the synthetic however.
So maybe an oz or 2 in the tank couldn't hurt to give that infamous smell a lot of us love so much. It couldn't hurt, but your big four stroke will now smell a bit like a two stroke engine. So take this with a grain of salt GG. It's all in good fun. Some peeps will never know that smell, and some will not be able to hang with it.
I sure hope you do get to ride Friday to see that horse. I/we know how you feel there! Lol

Castor and Castrol are two different things. Castor oil is mainly used in alcohol fueled engines. I used it in my racing machines. I think BP petroleum named their oil castrol to play along with the age old use of castor.

Yeah, it bites. Five year old, other family, work, holidays. Nuff said. I'm just waiting for one of those GA winter, 65 degree plus weekend days to get my knees in the breeze again. I haven't even gotten much ride time on the horses lately. The holidays are great for family togetherness, but I'm always glad to see them gone.
