Today was first time I had ridden Ol' Maudie since her transfusion. Trashed all the SYN-3, and and gave her 20W-50 in the Motor, RedLine Shockproof in the 6-speed, and HD Gear-Oil in the Primary. I was amazed to find the Tranny to be.......uhm.........ah, hell, it just felt better. Didn't quiet that noise in 4th, though. Guess the damage was already done. Bearing goin' down, likely. However, I did notice more heat coming from the right side of the Motor. I believe the SYN-3 did keep the Engine temperature cooler. We ran long and hard today, but the weather temperature was below normal, for this time of year. Ahh...........the sound of that Motor @ 5800 in 5th gear is.........let's see..........Euphoric! Be a while before I get to Ride again. I miss it, too. Enjoyed it, Chip, Nancy, and the Big "O." Later--HUBBARD
