"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.

I generally run the NGK plugs, too. I usually keep several spares in my toolbox and often get them from www.sparkplugs.com

NGK. I don't think anyone around here even carries Champion.

Also NGKs always come gapped just right (although I always check before installation)

Tried to get the OEM plug for my monster from Champion and was told that they had
an exclusive contract with Ducati, which means paying $20+ per plug while I can get a NGK for less than
half....no contest

First service on my bike 9 years ago, the dealer pulled the champs and installed NGK's. He winked and said they suxed.
