Exhaust preservation

<< < (4/5) > >>

Johnny4428:
Interesting thoughts on additives and off course different reasons to add oil to fuel in these old bikes for preservation purposes.

Ian - I think you would see the smoke from Birsay. 🤣

Orcade-Ian:
K2-K6, many thanks for the detailed info, I think this might be the way forward for me and hopefully many others.  I'm about to put the 400/4 on the road and that too has genuine Honda chimneys, so they need to be preserved.  The greenies have really buggered up my last few years of my enjoyment of classic bikes and cars - don't get me wrong, we should be looking after our finite resources but surely there were better ways to be explored instead of consigning already manufactured vehicles to the scrap-heap. Can't the scientists find a way of combining the reported excess of carbon with some abundant hydrogen to power our existing vehicles?
That's it, all three rants used up today, soap box back in the cupboard!

I'll have a rant as well....seeing as it's Friday.

Young Greta Thunberg and her dopey Pals are the main reason why Fuel/ Gas prices are so expensive.

When you openly....and gleefully tell your Suppliers/ Producers that you will be doing all that you can to stop buying their Products ASAP and that they are the 'Devil incarnate', don't be surprised when they all gang up and get their own back by ramping up the prices they demand for their products.........especially when there are plenty of other 'Customers' queuing up to buy them !

Of course Climate Change is a real threat to us all, but jumping in feet first like Greta has, has only made the problem more acute........I bet she wouldn't be welcome in Sri Lanka just now !

I personally think we have it the wrong way round, instead of strangling economies and making people poorer and face greater hardship which inevitably means they will be become more desperate and make the problem worse we should be using our greatest asset science to fix the problem.

Find a way of neutralising greenhouse gasses, scrub the atmosphere of C02 and other nasties, work together to cool the earth down using the knowledge we have accrued rather than the taboos some of us like to preach to. The current approach, wind and solar energy, electric cars etc just are not going to work so stop the loony brigade taking us down the path to economic and social destruction in the name of salvation.

Jeez now that was a rant wasnt it!

Seabeowner:
Just remember that ONE short journey can do the damage. I ruined a perfectly good set of pipes on my 500 years ago. It was SORNED and we moved house, so I illegally rode it the seven miles one cold winter day and left it.

Unfortunately we are nowhere near this and very unlikely ever to achieve that. Russia loves the heat.
