Velocity Engine Additive

I was at a bike meet. Velocity engine protectant was demonstrated there. They claim it can be used in primaries, gear boxes and any engine. I was impressed with the demonstration. They claim it reduces motor temperature as well as extended life. Has anyone used this stuff in an old Brit-bike? What do you think about it? I'm always chicken to try something new without good reviews.

Red,

If it was the fashion to wear a turd on your head, would you
do it? I never believe in these snake oil fixes or cures. If they
worked the new models of Triumph would recommend there use
in the new rides. Call them up and ask, I think I already know
the answer.

Just someone trying to sell you smart pills. Be very wary to
miracles in a bottle.

Hey Pookie,

The turd I'm using on my head was a heck of a lot cheaper than what they wanted for a toupee, I'll have you know............

The "village idiot" now has a certain "air" about him, though: Jim

Pooky, Jim,
Yeah, you're right. I guess all new technolgy and synthetics is B.S. for 'idiots' like me to question.

Oh now do not take it that way Red.

Your ride was made by people with degrees in this and that. And
went to school for a long time to earn those. With that knowledge
they produced and engine and transmission that is made to work
with one kind and type of oil preferred.

You would not put Automatic transmission fluid into your car's
engine. Would you??? Of course not. So without a degree you
are going to trust some guy at a flea market about what
to put into your engine???

He is not the one who has to rebuild that engine, he got his 5er
worth out of you. But we are the ones who have to give you
the advice on how to rebuild that engine when it goes.

Stick to what the manual recommends and leave the Snake oils to
the True Idiots in the world.

I know for sure you are not, because you questioned the product
in the first place. I am sorry my answer was taken the wrong
way. Just a joke nothing more.

Sorry again if I offended you in anyway.

Oh I am very sorry, I stand corrected, it is 60.00 a bottle as the
suggested retail price. Instead of a 5er I thought in the last post.

Also odd I can not find the MSDS sheet on this product as well.

Can anyone help on that point??

Furthermore in there own advertizing they look down on the
"NEW TECHNOLOGIES" of a few years ago. I wonder how this one
will fair in 5 more years??
