I don't like ethanol either. My dealer told me to try and use as little as possible in the bike when I bought it. My local 7-11 has gas that isn't blended and so that's where I fuel up.
I'm a Virginian too. Just rode through the Hampton Rhoads area a couple of weeks a go heading up the Eastern Shore. My brother, look for a bike with a heck of a suspension because the roads down in that area beat me to death.
Hi all over. Found this forum by doing a web search looking for someplace where every make of bike gathers. I've ridden bikes off and on since, well, hell, since I could walk. Look forward to reading and conversating with you.
