[Ducati] early "80s SoCal Trick Gas

[Ronald Betts]

Man that brings back memories. I miss Riverside......It always amazes me 
when I see people dumping high octane/racing fuel into their stock 
compression bikes. Sure it smells pretty but what for. If you dont have the 
compression to use a high octane/low volitility fuel your just wasting 
money. Back in the day I used Arco Supreme pump fuel with a little dash of 
diesel to raise the flash point and a little acitone to keep things mixed 
with the Gold Lable Blendzall. Two strokes loved it and the other guys were 
always wondering what perfume I was wearing..Ha! Poor man's racing fuel.



Peace...Ron"Desmohead"Betts 95 900 SP
I've learned that I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy it!
