Getting old before it's time is even worse...I used to be able to work hard all day without feeling an ache or pain, now it seems I get sore just thinking about it...lol

I came back as well but a bit later.. Went and got the SHO washed then stopped by work to visit with a few people.. Finally on the way home got $10 of 100% high test gas for the Harley and the Shadow.

Good evening to all that lurk here.
You use premium gas in your Shadow Steve? I just use regular grade gas.

Ok Steve, I`m not sure what he specs are on regular gas here, I`ll have to check on it. As far as I can tell my Shadow runs fine, I thought the same about my Mustang but after finding out what the compression ratio is I quickly switched to premium.

Good afternoon Steve, John, Brian, Rob and all who lurk here.
Is on the border line at 9.6:1 for using premium fuel Steve? My Mustang 5.0 has 11.0:1 compression ratio.

Howdy Morris.. It seems to run fine on the premium gas..

Had to run around today to get a doctor's release slip so i could go back to work tomorrow.. of course they didn't volunteer that information and to pry it out of them

Only got two thirds up in the living room, my back and knees couldn't take any more. Still have to move the entertainment unit and a roll top desk. Plan it to tackle that tomorrow if I can move...lol
