CO rarely maintains a below freezing, consistent temp. In the am or late evenings, sure. For the average rider, not an issue. Besides he's running synthetic, not a problem.
Now those Lead Wing riders, i think they use a 10W[ROFL3] after Nov1 , they run in everything except ice packed roads, when possible. Seen herds of them coming out of a 20* fog packed highway matching paint jobs, helmets, jackets, even their walkers strapped down. Like it was a day on the beach.

I love that comment. I Ride all year and on a 06 Wing its funny how everyone thinks Wing riders are old. I am one of the people who have a much improved ride after switching to Rottela T6, many of the HD guys are using it also and love how the bike runs.

I know your helmet matches your wing [Beer] IF i could ride again, and if i could hold up a heavy mc / barcalounger a wing would be on the short list. We lnow a wing owner up north, like northern MT. he's a snow bird, says once he hits st. georges UT. pulls over, takes off his winter gear, swaps out the 10 cd cassette, off he goes.

Well the group riding style is real simple you ride with common sense and obey the traffic laws. Are you by chance afraid to drive also because your on the rode with people whom you don't know there driving skills???



To what stupidity??? If I ride with anybody I have never rode with I keep my distance untill I see how they ride problem solved.



If you don't ride like that why would you take offense to it??? Sorry I hit a nerve but if you ride with me that won't fly. Your more than welcome to ride like your late to your own funeral just don't do it around me. I also hate to burst your bubble but I have been riding for over 20 years and I have had sport bikes. You see the problem is I know I have been there and done that try again.

I took offense to it also back in the day...........why??? because it was true. 100% fact you don't own a bike like that because your going to ride it like grandpa on his way to church. However if you can ride it like a sane person for one day on a club ride come join us and let's have some fun.



No doubt cagers are the #1 threat but idiots who wish to play super bike racer are not far behind. Unless of course they do that on their own time and not with a pack of bikes.

Seen plenty of Harley riders in my ten years on bikes who ride like shit heads. .... gotta love the "speed out the bar and drag pipe cause you think you can make the turn" lol

Anyone here ride dualsports?

On the oil related posts: I just changed my Triumph over to Rotella T6 5w-40, and it's just a night and day difference...

I kept reading on the triumph forums that a lot of guys are using that synthetic diesel oil on their bikes, and love it. Gave it a shot, and my bike is so much happier now... Smoother shifting and idle. I'm loving it. I was hesitant about doing it, but it's working out great so far.

The Helmet does match the wing. T-6 is being used on most bikes , I do however change it more often probably don't need to but I do.

all of you guys using T6 in your bikes is convincing me to use it in my Harley, may as well I use it in both my Diesels so I have it around anyway!

Yeah I ride a Harley, I'm not fat and still have all of my teeth also. Used to ride sport bikes and also have had a couple Goldwings, if your on two wheels is all that matters...

I tried to find some T6 at Walmart last night but they only had 5w-40 in stock. What weight are you going to use? I was thinking about running the 5w-40 and topping it off with Mobil 1 20w-50 V-Twin bc I still have 2.5qt of it in my garage.

I have about a group of 10 that ride sueprmotos...but similar in nature and we don't mind getting off the beaten path as well since most of us have dirtbikes too. Shoot me a PM if interested and we can link up. We just did some great riding today around Longmont!
