+1 That's what I do. Do you remember the £1 prize money 'tips& tricks' they had in MCM 'Motorcycle Maniacs' in the 60's & 70's ... Like sharpening a scrap valve stem as a centre punch or Plasticine and a funnel around a control cable to oil it. Will have to dig one or two copies out and post them on here. Seem to remember some were hilarious penny pinching pieces of stinginess and skulduggery. Like chopping the top bit off a 5A round pin plug brass terminal ..the bit with the screw in and using it as a 'get-you-home' cable repair ;D ;D

Don't put the oil in the recycling, such a waste, use it on your motorbike frame as a cleaner and rust preventer, sieve it and put it in an oil can for general lubricating. Old oil is also great for lighting bonfires, painting on fence posts, rescuing rusted farm implements, the list is almost endless....

Ash: that plasticine idea was total rubbish though :)
Florence: you don't need many bikes to soon build up a refinery's worth of oil :)
