Talking What's next?

I went to the dealer to buy a retaining ring for my clutch lever yesterday, and saw they are selling bottles of a cinnamon liquid you put in when you fill up, and it makes your vapors have a cinnamon smell!

You've got to hand it to Harley, when it comes to advertising, they will go to the max on anything!

I saw that same stuff at a model airplane swap meet. They couldn't even give it away.

A cinnamon smell for my bike is just too Starbucks for me. Give me that lemony fresh pledge smell anytime.

I agree that I think the cinnamon would clash with the smell of my lemon pledge.................

Fuel additive companies have been making that stuff for several years, Grape, Cherry Etc. The stuff I saw was a racing fuel octane booster.

Why anyone would want their bike to smell like a Yankee Candle is beyond me.

Yeah I got enough of that candle smell here at home when the OL has all her candles lit in the living room, so as for making my bike smell like it I'll dab it behind the ears with a little 93% octane and make it smell good.

Are you sure it's for the bike? Maybe you drink it to add scent to your exhaust.
