Can I fit a 750 motor into a 550 frame? If I can, what sort of oil should I put into the tires? Oh, and my left turn signal only blinks when I push the turn signal button, with the ignition on...what do I do now?

What are "handle bars"?  Is it a new kind of bar like an oyster bar, or country bar or gay bar?

Good Tip.

Nice, thanks for having fun with this.

I was telling my son that "oil" is such a volatile subject that all one has to do is say the word and arguments/opinions/experiences/rumors/etc. would start to fly.

I love this site.
