Oh, to live in the woods where I have three acres to myself with a barn a burn pile, and a network of trails off my backyard.

I live in Phoenix on 1/5th of an acre and (usually) have to truck my bike to get to good riding.

And did I mention my HOA? (home owners association for you guys in Canada). :rolleyes:

Okay, boys and girls. I'm gonna run it (diluted).

It's soluble, after all. If I clog up the carb, all I gotta do is clean out the jets and run more gas to disolve it.

I love you guys !!! :partyman:

OH NO!! HE MUNCHED IT!!

DO run it...all! Don't run 1/2 of it then park it for a month. That would seem to be a bad idea, wood an it?

Ha!!

Park it for a month?

This is Phoenix. We're at the height of our riding season now. We get a little rain, the dust is controled, and we get extra traction in the decomposed granite which makes up much of our trails.

I'll have five gallons through that soon-to-be-clogged carb in two weeks, tops.

I finally got around to filtering my EVA-contaminated fuel into a now-empty container. I used an old sock

Here is a pic of all the EVA pebbles that came out. There was far more that fell through that hole than I thought. The pebbles cover an area about the size of the last knuckle on my thumb.

I know what you're thinking. Don't say it, bub.

The amber-colored stuff behind the in the pickle jar is the clear, unfoggy pre-mix that has no visible signs of yuckiness.

Looks like a good whiskey (the liquid)!
