I just thought I would try it on. It's a fine looking beast and you look after it well. I really need another bike (NOT)

Hey George,
Thanks for your concerns and letting me know the status of my bike, for that sort of money I should be able to keep the bike and give you the globe from the left front blinker, and that doesn't use any oil what so ever, hang on $1:50 may have cut myself a bit short, that's a Chinese globe, not a Bosch or Phillips.
 ;)

Sounds like it's stuffed to me Lou. Better sell it to me. How does $1.50 sound.

sounds alright Lou,
I wouldnt be too concerned until your using a litre every couple a tanks of petrol.
At the moment I'm doing about 150ml top ups, (bottom of site glass to top of sight glass) between 2500-3000 km oil changes.

I do oil changes every 5 thousand kilometres, this time I measured it and used approximately 300ml, is that XSive or about right?
