Yeah...

they also make an epoxy based coating that purportedly sticks to plastic and eliminates plastic tank deformation.

There's a bunch of info in the stickied tank thread.

Got it. Haven't been keeping on that thread since my tank isn't plastic... but I do like to be in the know. Perhaps a little back reading.

On a related note - have the new tanks (696, 1100 etc)  been expanding?

It just blows my mind.

Folks need to start lobbying their state houses to pass laws providing for ethanol-free option at the pump.

I am fine with "alternative" fuels, but provide choice.  I would happily spend 10-15% more for pure gas.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the air—these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.
