Beware synthetic oil

Beware of synthetic oil, it can do terrible things to you and your
beloved motorcycle. It will not only leak out of your engine faster
than you can put it in, but it will also cause your oil filter to
clog and implode, dumping debris and dirt into your lubrication
system. It also will make every part of your bike permanently
slippery because of its linear molecular chain dispersion action.
Then it will leak onto your kickstand causing it to retract
automatically, dropping your bike on the ground! But that's not all...

Synthetic oil will round off your gears and spin your bearings. It
will also splatter onto your seat causing your girlfriend to fall off
in the apex of a turn and she'll never ride with you again. Synthetic
oil coats your sight window and your timing window with a whitish
pro-emulsification additive that is both non-removable and highly
corrosive. Synthetic oil will completely leak onto the ground overnight
and your dog will drink it and die.

Synthetic oil will wear out your tires and make your battery leak. It
will give you the desperate need to urinate after you put your full
leathers on and then jam your zippers shut. It will contaminate your
gasoline causing your bike to stall on railroad tracks and accelerate
uncontrollably near police cars. It will make it rain during rallies
and on weekends. It will lubricate your timing belts causing them to
jump teeth and break your valves to bits. Synthetic oil chemically
weakens desmodromic valves and causes the clearances to change every
six miles. Then it melts the black soles of your riding boots right
before you walk across your new carpeting.

While riding past groups of attractive women it will cause both of
your handlebar grips to slip off at the same time so you smash your
windscreen with the bridge of your nose. It also causes your swingarm
to crack, your studs to break, and your rotors to warp, and then it
voids your warranty by changing your odometer reading to 55,555. It
also dries out your wetclutch and wets your dryclutch. It makes your
clutch slave cylinder seal fail in the heaviest traffic on the hottest
day of the year while putting an angry wasp in your helmet for good
measure.

Synthetic oil hides your 13mm socket and puts superglue on your
earplugs. Synthetic oil will scratch your faceshield and make your
gloves shrink two sizes night before trackday. Synthetic oil stole
your neutral and sold it to the Chinese for $1.25. Synthetic oil
will make you grow a tail. Synthetic oil will write long crazy
e-mails to your Internet friends and then sign your name at the
bottom!

I think this should be in the HUMOR section since it was written for humor...

I just watched the service manager tell a kid that by not running the same synthetic oil each time he just ruined the motor on his new gixxer 600.

We laugh about this stuff but it is still going on strong.
 
Sorry Bill.

I totally forgot about the humor section when posting this. I obviously found it on a motorcycle forum so I posted here, but should have titled it synthetic oil to maybe get a bigger kick out of things.
 
No shortage of uninformed customers spending big bucks on expensive oil unnecessarily. It defies logic why people can't accept the proof that HDEO works fine in motorcycles. I personally know fellow riders who run synthetic oil because "It has superior lubrication properties." However, I must also say that these same people don't know squat about their bikes short of what the advertisement brochures and salesmen tell them. I have one acquaintance who owns a HD Fat Boy with a TC 88 engine. I asked him how he liked the the TC 88? Didn't have a freaking clue of what I was talking about. Yet they seem to think they're oil experts!
