I tried that but for some reason the exhaust drafts back into the house. And the garage is separated by a breezeway. An obvious first world problem for me.

Sounds messy, friendly or not.

Our Honda Odyssey is 18 years old. No oil treatment underneath yet. No rust either. Maybe Jeep doesn’t use that good Honda metal!!

Cousin Eddie. That reminds me that I have to watch Christmas Vacation as part of my holiday repertoire. I’m a committed LL Bean shopper. I think everything I own is from them, Woolrich, or Orvis. I’m a traditional fellow. Here’s a fashionable view of my new hat!

I open the garage door before I start. Two of the bikes shoot their exhaust out the door while the third does leave an odor that slowly dissipates out the door.

Least anyone think spraying the underside of a car (Jeep) with oil is environmentally unfriendly, that’s used motor oil mixed with kerosene. The kerosene evaporates leaving a sticky, semi-hard residue. Immediately after treatment the Jeep sat in the garage for weeks and left only two tiny drops of oil on the floor. Most of it is sprayed inside the frame-rails anyway.

Too funny! I looked up Mad Bomber Hat as I had not heard the term and wasn’t certain I knew exactly what it was? It’s a Cousin Eddie hat! Bravo! Winter tis the season of goofy but uber functional hats. We have a Christmas LL Bean order due any day now and so looking forward to our red and black checkerboard Elmer Fudd hats with the pull down ear flaps. Merry Christmas One and All 🎄

I’ve definitely witnessed a decline in mileage this year due to the pandemic. At least I think that’s to blame. Could be I’ve just been distracted or lazy.

The Vespa is just better suited for the cold and easier to manage in snow than the motorcycle.

Thanks Brad. I try and fuel up there when I can’. Maybe I need to plan rides specifically with that in mind.

I’ve certainly done what you do when I can’t ride for a few weeks. And both the K75 and Vespa are on Battery Tenders. Whatever pleasant sounds the engines make, it’s washed away by the stink of exhaust. I never run them in the garage lest the house smell like an engine shop.
