Modern gasoline is crap. I gotta bike on the lift that has only sat for 3 months and the Pilot jetts are so gummed that you can't see any light through them. There are brown rings on the needles where they set in the mains.

I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago. Edgar Allan Poe
