What do you think of this partnership and ethanol fuels in a motorcycle?

Don't pee on my leg and tell me it's raining. E10 sucks.

We just had a post about race fuel and now we go to the other end of the spectrum...garbage gas. I would hope there would be a few stations that offer Non- ethanol gas and that the bikers would frequent those and boycot the others to send a message. I'd be willing to wait in line for "real" gas than run the other if given a choice.

I think it sucks and is totally political in nature. Everyone that does any research about ethanol knows that the claims made by the green weenies regarding this crap are untrue.

First choice 91+ but if there's nothing else, I've run E10. Never has an adverse effect on the bike and it sure beats walking.

Unless the can tell me something that no one else knows or that I haven't heard before I think it is irresponsible.

Ethanol is for drinking, not burning in vehicles.
