So once a person has about umpteen zillion posts, are they then always required to weigh in on every topic with, "this has been beaten to death", Or, one I always love to see "why don't you do a search?". Maybe you get umpteen zillion posts on a forum because you like your own opinion better than any other, and feel that everyone should hear your opinion, oh, maybe umpteen zillion times?

I don't understand putting motor oil in a transmission that does not share the same sump as the engine. Would you put gear oil in your motor?

Ditto on the Mobile 1 V-Twin in all the boxes. Available along with the filter at most Wal-marts, Autozones and O'Reilley's. Much easier to find on the road when you need it than hunting a dealer, and saves a few bucks. 100,000 on an 07 flhx. No issues other than starting to use some oil between changes. Hard to complain about that at this point.

Well you weighed in on one earlier regarding Canada and clearly you had no idea what you were talking about so why be concerned?

Yes. The more posts you have the bigger your Johnson. Don't be thinned skinned around this crowd:-)

When you cross into Canada, you surrender your second amendment rights. You have no right to keep and bear arms in Canada. Do I know what I am talking about or would you like to cross that border with a pistol to show how very little I know? Why don't you go right out and do that?
