I Heard a Rumour.......
« on: June 05, 2013, 09:10:48 PM »
that a gas station 6 miles up the road was selling non-ethanol high test. Only problem was I had a full tank of corn based fuel. So I went this route.

http://goo.gl/maps/P2Ker



Stopped in Chewelah, WA after back roading it to WA 395.



The Flowery Trail's motorcycle nirvana. It goes up over a mountain range and connects 395 to 20. At the top is a ski resort, 49 Degrees North. About a mile up I caught a school bus with seven cars behind it. Then they caught another school bus with three cars behind it. I was about five miles up. What does a good Motobricker do? Turns around and goes back down and starts over!!!
At the top.







Not too many pics as the photographer was working...





Rolling out of Newport, the low fuel light comes on....20 miles to pure gas.
and here it is, it's true!



My new favorite place to give a thirsty Brick a drink. Millers in Spirit Lake.

I'd pay $7 a gallon for this sh!t.

greetings mystic rod...

is this your 1st ride of 2013...

i wrote a song for you...

cornfree... as free as the brick rolls...
as free as the guardian bell tolls... 
cornfree... to follow the twisties...

cornfree... twisties surround you...
as free as the scenic astounds you...
cornfree... each time you whack the gas...

stay cornfree... where no double yellow divides you
youre free as the open road...
so theres no need to hide...
you must abide...

cornfree... life is worth living...
butts only worth living...
cause youre born to be cornfree...

Will you sing that to me (after I've had a few adult beverages) when you get here? That's awesome... :2thumbup:

We're around 4.19 for ethanol free premium here. Only have 2 stations in town with non-ethanol premium, one is .10 more than the other....

What's the deal? Is Obama spending all his time tapping our phones and reading our emails that he has forgot to force us to feed corn to our bricks? :clap:  :hehehe

There is a great website,  puregas.org that lists all the ethanol free gas stations by State.  I use it all the time and there are more and more stations carrying it.

On a similar note, June 19 is AMA E-15 free day, send your Rep a note that they should not allow E-15 to be offered, EPA is running a muck.
