whatever the car next to me at the mall is running

I've been considering running moonshine in mine

If you decide to go this route, you need to do some stuff first:
(A) coat the tank with the POR-15 treatment. Alcohol tends to rust standard tanks because of the water content.
(B) You will need access to a dyno to rejet properly to compensate. Figure the right fuel-air rate will be way different that gasoline.
(C) I would seriously change the plumbing on the tank to vapor-seal it while parked (to keep the alcohol from drawing in humidity from the air).

I don't know what the sit-rep is in your area, but in Florida you can make 5 gallons for personal consumption per year without any permits or taxes... I don't know what the deal is if the bike consumes it

Naturally, although all true, this is all intended as a joke...

The first two tanks I put in my '06 were 91. This was at the recommendation from the nice man who sold me the bike, as he pointed to a open barrel of gas in the dealer lot and said "That's the shit we put in there, buy the best fuel you can for the first few tanks. I once saw a person ride out on a brand new V-Star that was backfiring constantly"

Ever since then I've been filling up with 87.
