Well, then you must get your favorite oil and go enjoy a bike shop too.  Only your favorite oil, bike shop, and your bike will do for this hunt.

I specifically said bike shop, because I believe in putting motorcycle oil in my bikes vs. regular auto oil.  I also want to see someone get out there to a shop and maybe look at some new bikes or products.  I also wanted to stir things up and add some OIL to the conversation.   ;D :o 8)

I got a request to change the mark I called.
Reasoning?... because its a holiday weekend, shops are closed, and some people may not need oil right now.
Well, dammit, when I called the mark it was Friday, so unacceptable excuse.  Besides, shops around here are open 7 days a week, move somewhere out of the boonies.   :P
Also, you never know when you will need oil.
Now, you may say, how am I supposed to get my favorite oil if the shop is closed?  Do you have your favorite oil at home?  How would we know where it came from?

NOW GO DO SOME WINDOW SHOPPING AND DON'T FORGET YOUR LUBE!

That's just fine if your favorite is Rotella... but the picture must be taken in front of a motorcycle shop.  I know, such a daunting task.    ;D

To reiterate...


The Mark:
Your favorite oil next to your bike or maybe even mid-fill,  with your motorcycle posed in front of a motorcycle shop. 

I could have had this 3 days ago, and would have if I didn't call the mark.   :P

Sounds pretty easy, doesn't even have to be motorcycle specific oil, and the bike shop doesn't even have to be open! I can hit this mark this afternoon...

IF I get my chores done!
