you can put anything you want.

I use engine ice. I'm sure they do most places here in the States sell it.

Considering what the coolant really is and that here we call it anti-freeze and that HD says use their brand, I'd use basically whatever is on sale this week at CTC.

Rain? Clouded over a bit around 2pm. Dover starts too early for me. You have to be there way too early to park and this 13th looked particularly crazy.

Stll my favourite destination ride through Richmond, Calton Line, Dexter Line and Quaker Road, a nice 3-4 hour loop.

Hey Stlrdn,
Were you riding a red CR on Wilson St. outside Ancaster with a buddy around 6ish? If so I passed you going the opposite way, heading back from Port Dover. Crazy it was, way too many people! Weather was sunny and hot, hot, hot!Lots of stop and go traffic, causing my voltage to drop and battery light to come on. Think I fried another stator, but managed to get home. I'm going to test the legs of the stator later this week to check.

Stlrdn-

I use water wetter here in carolina. It's great for aggressive riding and traffic here in the heat. Just remember that a few tablespoons of detergent in your distilled water won't lower the freezing point. Last summer I used timecave.com to remind myself to put the glycol back in.
