Most folks prefer full synthetic, either Amsoil or Mobil 1 V-twin 20W-50 in the crank and primary.

Synthetic 75W-90 gear oil works well in the tranny.

Most folks also prefer to....
wave at other bikers
wear fingerless gloves
complain about helmet laws
post a bitch when a "cage" does something stupid
like apes
like beach bars

That's all I can think of for now.
