“He said ‘I kinda came unglued on them’,” he (White) related. The biker told him that he had been talked in to using it at the rally the year before, and he’s “been using it this entire last year without any issue.”
In another case, White said a guy with a brand new Harley said he had been told by the dealer not to use ethanol and he wanted to get a response to that. “And I said why would you believe me?” White said. “I didn’t engineer your motorcycle, I didn’t put the parts together, I’m not providing a warranty for that motorcycle.” The man agreed, noting that neither did the dealership, but his owners manual from Harley in fact said he could use 10% ethanol. “Harley’s been doing this a long time, as have (other motorcycle manufacturers) they know what fuel is going to be most prominent, least expensive, highest octane option for these motorcycles, and it’s going to be ethanol.” READ MORE (includes audio interviews) and MORE (Renewable Fuels Association)
