E15 hurts our bikes?
May be a tired topic, but my buddy sent me this article in Bike Week that talks about the EPA mandating E15 and that it can damage our rides.

How can you find stations that do NOT use Ethanol gas?

Someone posted a web site for ethanol free stations a couple weeks ago.
IMO ethanol MPG isn't as good as regular gas and I hate the politics and tax dollars financing it. I also hate foreign oil, oil spills and other environmental damage.
I don't think the 10% hurts anything in the engines (been running it for years around here, not much choice). 15% probably won't hurt anything either, especially with the right additives.

Ethanol burns hotter than gasoline....What does that tell you?
Higher engine temps. Ethanol eats away at fuel lines clogging filters.
You think it's bad for bikes, you should see what it's doing to outboard motors.
