I dont ride on the streets anymore so what difference does it make?

Its a nice bike, but my personal opinion towards yamaha bikes are low. Dont get me wrong, its a nice looker, but i just hate R anythings. lol. Yes i know, this post was pointless. haha  

I don't know... fell in love with a fz6 at the dealership a couple weeks ago.... pretty sweet

I'm about 99% sold on a 05 R-1 the only problem is that I can't get saddlebags from the factory for it.  (that and the 14g's)

just like getting a tattoo makes you unique, unlike the millions of others that have tattoos

Hm, any problems storing methanol in 55 gal. drums?  Alcohol can etch soft metals (like terne steel). Do people use special drums (like stainless)?

Alcohol evaporates quickly, so if left in a half-full drum for a month, I wonder if you'd lose some of the volativity.   Anyways, someone was asking me about storage of ethanol in a drum for up to a month, using it up as they went.
