Look up rabbiFinkelsteinMcDonald's....... yum, yum......
Big 👍! Olive oil, Avocado oil, butter and lard. Wasn't expecting this to be the 4th hole!
I have used HD oil exclusively. I put an extra quart in the oil tank of my Sportster. I have had my Sportster for 25 years and 400,000 miles on the original engine and 37 back tires and 17 front ones and 3 belts in 25 years.
Having worked on my bikes since I was 10yrs old this is the first bike I have left the servicing up to the dealership and yes they have a great coffee machine great insight on the fourth hole always great information in these videos Mango
I made the same switch from using Syn3 for all 3 holes to using HD Heavy Synthetic Gear oil for the primary and transmission….a friend who is also a MC mechanic uses it exclusively, so good enough for me, and so far, happy with it.
Thanks
I liked the gear oil in the trans, but it made my gear changes harder when I used it in the primary. Neutral was defi harder.
I was never happy with the gear changes in my M8 Low Rider. Neutral was hard to find, especially when the motor was hot, gear changes were not always smooth, and down shifting during spirited riding was not always that great. All services were done by the dealer during the warranty period and they used Syn3 in all 3 holes. Once the bike was out of warranty I did the 3 hole oil change but decided to use Red Line V-Twin Transmission Oil in the gear box. You can believe it when I say what an improvement to the gear changes, neutral became easy to find and the whole box and dice in the transmission/gear changes became almost buttery smooth - well at least compared to the way it was before.
Had to watch the whole video to see what this 4th hole is. Had me going for a while. Good video.
Lol thanks for watching
Love your balanced approach to riding and overall health! Ride on!
Thank you
I really use whatever 20-50 synthetic motorcycle oil is available, Lucas, Mobil 1, Amsoil…. So far no problems. I use 75-140 synthetic gear oil in the transmission and primary
Pretty handy there mate! Han's grandfather downs a teaspoon of olive oil a day when he gets up and lives on a Mediterranean diet .....He's 81 and still works fulltime as a commercial concreter 😃
Wow that's a hard job, especially at 81
Sounds like a bloke I know here in Perth (Western Australia) ... 79 years old, super fit, strong as an ox, tougher than tough and won't quit working doing medium grano jobs. He told me if he quit the hard yakka, he'd lose the momentum of being able to do the work. He does have one or two vices though, so he won't die rich. He'll never be forgotten for what a hard worker he is. Thumbs up to all the hard working mostly European migrants who helped build what we enjoy today. And their mothers & wives who fed them good food!
I have used Penrite for 35 years on all my cars bikes and have absolutely no complaints, with engines doing over 300 thousand ks
Many will agree with you, top brand
Enjoyed the video. You made me laugh with the comment about seed oil and business men. "What are we going to do with our crap? Feed it to people...and make them pay" Funny but so true!
lol
I just did a fluid change on my 2016 breakout, used redline in the trans and primary, amd amsoil in the crankcase, noticed a huge difference, rides and shifts a lot smoother, definitely recommend!
About best oil for HD motorcycles…i agree changing oil & filter at recommended intervals…explain to me why, until recently,Harley recommended Syn 3 for all three holes!
I enjoy your videos, keep making new ones!
Nice lead-in had me wondering about that fourth hole,great advive
Thanks 👍
Great video. My bike actually has a fourth hole in that I recently installed an Oil Bud oil cooler that fits up in between the frame on my softail. It has a drain plug. I highly recommend it for lowering oil temp in hot weather and stop and go traffic. Check them out.
I like your take on seed oils. In the States it’s amazing how little food is available that doesn’t contain seed oils or high fructose corn syrup. Being recently diagnosed with type two diabetes I have started to eliminate those things from my diet, I feel better and have lost 40 lbs just by watching those two items.
Yep it really does make an amazing difference, well done
I've always used the HD gear and Primary oil,and Syn 20/50..in engine ✌️,,Better shifts better protection..just piece of mind ,no arguments..💯
Thanks
HD formula + for primary and tranny is the best!!! I’ve used it for so many years and so many bikes. People try to reinvent the wheel better than the one who created it. There might be a better oil but formula + will guarantee your primary and transmission for the life of the bike that’s the most important thing. But hey we all like spending money and getting sucked in to the oil factor. For engine though I’ve always used Spectro Heavy Duty 20w-50 Mineral
ive used amsoil in both my bikes 20/50 in engine primary oil in primary transmission oil in trans.with amsoil ive seen less and less material on magnets every oil change.i also use k&n oil filters
The sealant is called plumber’s tape or pipe seal or thread seal
Yeah I couldn't think of it at the time
I only recently changed the oil in my Ultra and i used Penrite MC-4 V Twin Motorcycle Oil.... 20w 50 full synthetic and the engine is so much quieter than before, grabbed the K&N oil filter as i liked the 17mm nut head that is part of the filter..
Thanks I have heard good things about both
I always used to service my bikes, and was going to change the oil on my Dyna Fat Bob every 4K km's (half service), but ended up getting it serviced all round with Synth3, and noticed the difference straight away , the bike just seems to run better, and shifts easier. I tried researching which oil was best for my baby, the synth came out okay, there was another brand that seemed to be the best, but I couldn't get it easily here in Tas, and the way it runs now, I won't bother changing it
The derby cover torx screws are garbage but using a low quality torx bit doesn’t help. A lot of shops put teflon tape on the plugs to insure oil doesn’t leak due to someone wrenching the plug to tight in the past. I’m personally not a Syn-3 fan. Redline is what I’ve been using regularly on my 2 newer Low Riders. I also use Lucas Break-In 20W-50 with Zinc in my 08 Dyna motor.
I use synthetic v-twin 20w50 in the engine primary gear oil in the primary and 85-120w in the transmission, this can fluctuate. Now I'm switching to lard, thanks 😊
lol thanks for watching
You got me on this one. I was trying to guess the 4th hole you were talking about. Mouth was not on my list😂. Been using Avocado and EV Olive oil for years at home. That and real butter. There are even brands of off the shelf products at the stores that are using these oils now. More expensive but worth it. Good public service announcement.
Lol thanks for watching
Great video as usual - and a most excellent PSA!
Thank you
Great vid, doing anything yourself is always good for a mans soul.
Was using Penrite V-twin in my Slim works great, scored Harley Syn 3 & the HD gear oil free to go in next change & shot glass Olive oil in 4th hole every morning for this higher mile unit.. 💪🏼
Thanks Aymen! Love the Video’s keep’m coming
Thanks for watching
Good video thanks.
Thanks for watching
The 4th hole got me, that is why I watched the video. Yes to the fourth hole I am carnivore beef, bacon, butter, eggs.
Awesome way to eat
So what do you cook chips in then?
if i was going to cook chips it would be in saturated fat - that's a whole other subject because fat and carbs like chips don't mix
I use aimoil used it for years inshore t they use it in air planes how safe is that
Mobile 1 is in the engine, Valvoline 70/140 synthetic in the gear box, Harley syn 3 in the primary.
Check out Kevin Baxter from Baxters garage, “all about oils” episode
I use mobil1 oil in all three holes no troubles if I go over a little on miles
Enjoying the health info for ourselves as well. Loving the content & vids!
Thanks, loving the gear from your company!
Hi Aymen, thinking about getting a road king, coming off VStar 1300. What are your thoughts on the differing motors as far as reliabilty/ease of maintenance? IE the old 80, TC 88, 96 or 103 etc.
Enjoying your channel, thanks.
Cheers

Engine Oil change - great Funnel Mate , never Seen before - I have a piece of plastic cut out of the side of an oil bottle works..
Here is a Simple Tip but = Drop sump Oil, thread-tape plug and re-fit, then REFILL tank w/oil..... remove oil-filter, using that funnel run/start engine ( no oil-Filter but with funnel ) until oil pumping out runs clear ! Do NOT rev engine, o'wise it shoots out fer metres away, just idle is Good... I do this every time and it has Never run 'clear' but....... so just run engine for approx 1 minute or until approx 1 litre has passed thru engine. Shut-it-down, smear new filter gasket with oil, there is No point attempting to fill filter with New Oil, its mounted sideways so will just fall-out anyways....... Put some oil back in tank, start and run whilst inspecting for Leaks, check dip-stick and add more as required.. Now go for a quick ride ( like 5-10k's ). Allow bike to cool-off ( like overnight ) and re-check dip-stick and add more oil as required. Intent here is to Remove ' old-oil' from engine, that can and will contaminate New Oil just added......
Onya Aussie !
My 02 Deuce requires a full purge engine oil change. Dump the tank oil. Remove the return tube. Dump 2 new quarts into the tank. Dead roll the engine 12 turns of the crank and capture the oil from the return tube until the oil is clear. Change the filter. Add .8 quart reconnect the return tube. I use 75W syn transmission oil and I will be using Harley 20-50w primary oil. My diet is tailored to my disabilities. Eat natural foods. I juice spinach, apple, carrot, and pineapple to supercharge my stamina. I'm 11yrs past my expiration date 😂 that the doctors insisted I that would never live to see.😂 Living raw fruits and veggies repairs living cells. If I listened to my doctors and took all pills I refuse to take, I might've been dead already.
Yes literally we can use any v-twin oils I pretty much guess so !,I got the hd brand right now : & the v-rod is obvious out of discuss just poor syn3 &= fine !, with my ‘86 evolution I’m gonna take syn3 as the motor oil & today I still had hd semi transmission & formula+ (=transmission + primary) , so I used up first my rest of the semi-trans fluid for trans + prime !, from next time on I use formula+ because the semi-trans-oil is not available any more (it is the old version of formula+) … have fun god bless England ❤️
I use Amsoil in all my engines
Oil brand doesn't matter 1/10th as much as how often you change it. Any decent oil that meets Harley standards changed often enough is good oil.
You are probably right
Hi great vid oils the blood of the engine
I use castrol 20 50 synthetic in the engine and primary and same as you in the gearbox. As for the 4th niver use seed oils that's another thing government's told us was good for us and definitely isn't you ride safe stay free
AGREED BRO
Thanks
I use Amsoil! They have an amazing guarantee!
Nice catch.... Thanks.. Jesus Christ of Nazareth Bless you and yours...
Thanks, you too!
....and there was me hoping the 4th hole would be the forks 🙄
Lol
Dripping lard butter for this black duck🥩🥓
Way to go
Gear oil is too thick for the primary. It can cause clutch drag. Great for the transmission, not primary. Run ATF in primary.
Bel Ray, all 3 holes
RED LlNE OIL
Have heard many positive things about it
I don’t know that
Go full carnivore it’s the best way to avoid all garbage food .
True but hard to do
@@OldNotDead-Club not really it’s the easiest thing I ever did , I feel satiated all the time and have no cravings , lost 32lbs , no aches or pains in my joints , no more snoring, no more dandruff, no more plaque buildup on my teeth , and have a ton of energy . This all happened in 2 months. Sounds to good to be true but it is it. Easiest thing I have ever done . The lion diet. beef, salt, and water.
@@MrScullydog i dont doubt you, i do it periodically
@@OldNotDead-Club that’s great , all new to me , 54 , 6-3 and was 267 and now 237 in 2 months , cut out all sugar carbs, coffee and alcohol , it’s amazing what your body can do when you feed it right. great vids , you got me on the 4th hole , I never thought it would be your pie hole , keep the vids coming, Cheers!!
AMSOIL
Aye we're all gonna die one day one way or the other! Ride to Live Live to Ride😎
Don't forget to only put Harley-Davidson air in yer tyres.
Lol, what oil do you recommend
@@OldNotDead-Club I've used Motul products with success for decades. Each individual has to make their own decision. Hopefully an informed one !.
I own the highest quality motorcycle on planet earth, 1986 Honda gold wing, I don't have any reliability issues at all, oh yeah, 1 hole to change the oil. Even though my gold wing is 38 years old, the engineering is light years ahead of the engineering of any garbage that Harley Davidson puts out.
lol see my video, "you don't know anything about motorcycles if you..."
Sorry bud, ya lost my attention with this vid. Just lookin' for info.
I've used Amsoil since 1980 and in every and in my Harley's from 1994 on. The reason I stick with Amsoil is it holds up much better than other oils I've tested when sending oils in for lab tests. And as with all my vehicles I change the oil every 3000 miles some will disagree with this BUT here's my reason for doing oil changes more frequently... oil is cheap engines are not. I believe this is the reason why my 1994 Road King which I still have went 141,000 miles before I decided to rebuild the engine and take it from an 80 cu in to a 95 cu in motor. Also, just a suggestion, you might find it easier to purchase a lab quality plastic pitcher to measure more accurately the amount of oil you want to put into your bike. I find this is a faster way rather than pour a little and look at the bottle marks, pour a little more look at the marks. I just fill to the level I need into the pitcher and then pour that exact amount into the hole, easy peasy lemon sqeezy. Another great informative video.
Thanks I have been wanting to try amsoil, it just not readily available here. I'll have to get it posted. Good idea re the pitcher to measure
Amsoil was the oil that my feeble research found to be the best, unfortunately it's rarer than rocking horse poo here in Tasmania, also strongly agree with more frequent oil changes, I put well over 250k km's on my last bike, and I attribute that, to quality oil, changed more often
Yep, AMSOIL lubricants truly are the best on the market.
Agreed about seed oils....I used to use grapeseed oil or avocado oil....but, 2 1/2 months ago I swtiched to a carnivore diet and use beef and prok fat and butter....since then I have lost 60 lbs and feel great.....and I am 72. Oh, and still riding an evo FXDL.
Awesome well done
I use AMSOIL, great oil!
Thanks I've been meaning to try it, difficult to get here
Thank you uncle Aymen ! Another informative video and I only use non seed oil in my 4th hole !! My mechanic sorts out the rest !! Thank you for the reminder however 😊
Lol thanks for watching Karyn
I use Amsoil on my bike and it’s the best oil out there,IMO,I’ve heard HD oil is great too but I’m gonna stay with Amsoil,Thanks for the video
That's a great workshop hoist you have Aymen, especially having extenders to make it wider.
I added a pair of side rails to my Harbor Freight lift, no more fear of pitching left or right while mounting or leaving the lift.
Yep its a good one, makes a huge difference. I got the side rails so i could ride on, i was too chicken to try and push the bike up. (Hero hoists in NSW.)
Virgin olive oil, lard, butter and Avocado oil for the 4th hole. Amsoil for the Harley.
Thanks
Amsoil is the best that’s it
A lot of people say that, it's just hard to get here. I might try and get some posted next time
Good Day OND , you are still very young, I am a Old Dude Nearly Dead, I in my 70s , been riding bikes since I was 10/11, but please don’t tell my mum and dad, 😂 , pass my test for when I was 17, Obviously, because I was a Brit, I was riding triumph Bonneville Norton commandos of different years, I got into HD around 9495, I’ve had sportster FXR and in 2000 I purchased a brand-new deuce, Sadly in 2019 I had to sell it as I had been scammed by my ex female partner, I did however move to France where I now reside, due to all the stress I had a heart attack about two years ago, And I decided when I got some pennies sorted out from my ex relationship that I will purchase a bike, which I have just recently done, and yes, it is another deuce, 2003?, Sadly this has Not been very well looked after. Definitely wrong oils, more noticeable in the gearbox, I took the cover off to have a look inside and it was like Lard in there, I had to replace the main drive belt, plus gearbox sprocket, There was so much mud grime and stones built between the inner primary and the gearbox you could pick it out with a knife or chisel, there must be at least quarter inch of mud up under the mudguards, and crevices between the ancient and the frame that’s dirt grime mud everything you could possibly think of, I think the person had it used it for dirt track riding, so all oil I’ve now been changed with HD recommended oil, 😂, and because I now live in France, I would say 80% of food over here is more healthy than where is in other countries, as we only cook with olive oil, and probably a little bit of butter, and of course that main ingredient a glass of Red wine 🍷,
Great to hear from the other side of the world down under, Ride Safe, Red Free, and dodge those kangaroos, 🦘. 😂,
Beef, butter, bacon and eggs.
Yes!!
Ha, and here I was thinking that #4 was fork oil .... Nuff said for that, eh.
Lol
I was punting on Brake Fluid here
Both ( all ) are Important Too tho
Amsoil 20w50
Popular choice, hard to get here
Grew up with butter and grilled meat and fresh vegetables, when I met my wife and we started living together we followed the Mediterranean diet, butter,olive oil, heaps of vegetables and lean meat, been living this diet for 40 years now and when I see my doctor for my annual check up she tells me to keep doing what I’m doing, not over weight,blood pressure is good,no diabetes and don’t often get winter ills. If people researched how Canola Oil is made they would be horrified.
Thanks you are spot on
I have used Amsoil for engine and redline for transmission oil and Primary oil.
Thanks, its hard to get here
Amsoil or H-D brand oil are the only brands I use. I used to just use Syn3 as you only had to carry 1 extra quart to have extra oil for all three holes. Now the H-D heavy duty gear oil goes in my trans and primary. And YES I definitely notice a difference in the trans with shifting. (2017 Road Glide Special). I have personally found that Amsoil for the regular oil tends to hold up better and last longer than the Syn3. Not near as dark after 3,000 miles.
Some people use teflon tape on the threads of the plugs. I find that if you torque it properly you don’t have to worry about it.
you can use Amsoil motor oil in all 3 holes.
I use Lucas 20-50 Dinosaur oil in my Evo, and Royal Purple in the tranny...and Lucas primary oil.
I only put scram 🦅 only
Thanks (lol took a while to work out what you were saying)
putting gear oil in the primary is definantly a no-no. and a engine oil in the tranny is not recommended. Just use the correct Amsoil in all three holes.
Thanks. it's specifically made for it. It's very difficult to get Amsoil here.
I use Amsoil on all my vehicles. I do however like to remove all the old oil from that sump engine. The SCAVANGER PUCK found online is brilliant. Remove the oil filter, attach the puck. Run a hose to the new oil and one for the old. Start her up let it fill till it runs clear. Fanny your aunt!
I enjoy your videos.
That is Teflon tape. I don't use it.
Thanks
Great video mate....good explanation! Always good to know a little about one's bike by doing the basics and also a boost to one's confidence, knowing you've done some work on it yourself. 😎
Thanks again
In regard to the seed oil industry, you may want to check out the history of Margarine. I was shocked by what I found.
lol yes i know!!
So right 👍🏻🇨🇦
Thanks
Good analogy re oil in you and your bike . Great video thanks
Thanks for watching
I may be in the minority there but I hate random influencers trying to tell people how to live there lives by trying to trick them thinking there learning about motorcycles.
But then boom
It's a woke health soy boi message 👎
Maybe this is what people are after but I for one hate this kind of content so I'm out .
Lol and triggered, be that hard man with the soft belly.
@@OldNotDead-Club all good maybe some people need help but not me,so just not for me,I'm after motorcycle content without someone telling me I'm not as smart as them and don't know how to feed myself and that I make bad choices.
Everything in moderation.
@@PhoenixTatts
Bye-bye then.....
I can't believe I didn't see this coming for the fourth hole.
Lol
I have good service with Lucas full synthetic and K&N filters with a half quart of Lucas additive in the engine. It tastes great, too!
If you want it done right do it yourself. I've found you can't trust anybody for even the most basic jobs. My buddy just paid 18 bucks a quart for syn 3. Amsoil I've seen for 22.50. Iam using lucas for around 10.00 a quart. I used valvoline in my 1200 for 8.50 on sale.
4th hole was a eye opener for me & much appreciated 👍🌝 Luv servicing my own bikes most of the time , But I must admit im green when it comes to the 4th hole & seed oils that was mentioned, i do use some of them & Olive Oils BUT will now NOT buy seed oils / vegetable oil in the future, You're right about we must look after ourselves first & our bikes a close 2nd , We must stay healthier in order to still ride & live longer 👍🕺 Great eye 👀 opener matey 👏👏 Nice work , Respect from steve in Bundaberg Qld 🍹🇦🇺
awesome!!! i wasn't expecting the 4th hole oil... i was thinking you were going to talk about break fluid!
this was an awesome unexpected twist!!! i've been avoiding vegetable oils as best i can for a long time now.
this was great advice!!! well done sir!!!
I actually broke a derby cover bolt the very first time I changed the oil in it. That's a bad feeling! Luckily, the local dealership was open and had one in stock! Just one! Why they don't sell a full set, idk? But they don't.
The main thing about engine oil, is. Using the correct weight, the weight that's recommended by the manufacture. The reason why? The weight of the oil is directly correlated to the accuracy of the design and the build quality of the inside of the engine. the weight of the oil directly corresponds to how far apart the internal parts need to be kept away from each other so an engine that uses a lighter weight boil is made to a higher degree of accuracy, both in the polishing and the roundness of the shafts and bearings, etc., and thereby can use a thinner oil, which allows the pieces to be closer together. This is why you don't mess around with the recommended weights of the oil. And on the back end of this other than the weight of the oil use whatever oil you want to use just change it early with the filter.
Thanks thats pretty much what I do
For the engine Oil I just use 20W/50.. I have Mates that use and recommend 50W straight ?
My understanding is its all down to operating and ambient Temperature..
I'm in Perth, it never gets real cold, so I do Not use eg = a 10W/40 ( thinner ) engine oil. It does however get Real hot lots.... A '95 Dyna here, 10W/15 in the Primary, and 85W/90 in the Gearbox, lots and regular oil changes, 20 Years i owned it and 200,000k's, still goes Great no Problemmo !
@@OldNotDead-Clubthe best thing you can do with a HD is let it warm up all the way before riding it. I just watched a video with a group of HD techs who stated there is "lots of forgiveness" built in to the engine, "the parts are not even fitting together, nor are the actually round until it gets to operating temp.". Which is all true about an air cooled engine. And even though it may be oiled or partially water cooled it's still an air cooled engine, and internally it's designed as such.

@@distancejunkiemonkey4491 thanks, i always warm up my bike before riding and then take it easy for a few minutes
Before you remove oil filter
Punch a 1/8” hole in end of filter at the 12 o’clock position and 2nd. one at 6 o’clock
Let’s oil drain out in more controlled manner
Do this while draining engine oil and other 2 holes
Put oil in filter about 1/2 way
Filter media will absorb it install oil pressure quick oil pressure to engine
A company makes the Harley oil for Harley Davidson. It really doesn’t matter what brand oil you use if you changing your oil every 3 thousand miles. I use Amsoil for motor oil, Harley gear oil for trans and primary. Amsoil is the best motor oil if you plan on a longer oil change. It provides superior protection and has a high flash point.
Leave the oil cap on. If you open the bottom plug you will see the oil drip slowly. There is a vacuum. If the oil flushes out in a quick way you’re breathers in the airfilter are leaking air. Handy test to see if they are worn.
if you have breathers under your rocker covers you should leave your filler cap on then pull drain plug if oil comes out slow you're ok then remove filler cap if it comes out fast then those little breathers need serviced because they're letting air through
on mine i open the drain and let it drip for bout an hour, I use something known as a Scavenger, when you take off the oil filter you put on this puck and disconnect the return line, put on a tube then put in 3 quarts of new oil, run the engine until the return flow is clean, then reinstall the return pipe to the oil tank, add oil to the line, take the puck off, i have a oil filter cooler that has a 5 micron screen, no need for a reg oil filter. just clean it, let it dry put back on and your ready to ride. the Scavenger removes all the dirty left over oil from the engine. and the new oil stays cleaner a lot longer.
5-holes! Each fork leg it's own drain hole and must be filled individually.
Avocado, olive and coconut oils in our home for about 10 years now!!!
The primary o-ring is reusable you wasted money and are going to recommend others waste theirs.
You pour oil into the new filter before you start, it will soak into the media and not make a mess when time to install.
Ahh, the PIE HOLE. When you change oil so often on your bike does it really matter guys. I have put near 100K miles on two different Harleys. Always just used good 20-50 weight, brand name synthetic and change it 4500-6000 Miles.
27 Torx, not the 25 on the derby screws! Teflon tape and new oring on the plug.
I was using a 27torx, you are probably right re the oil
I checked it out Amsoil is the best but I Run Mobil 1 20/50 full synthetic
Great video! Very interesting that you mentioned vegetable oil. I’ve been researching this over the past few weeks. I’m going to the carnivore diet. Great info can be found in the UA-cam channel called Low Carb Down Under and Dr. Ken Berry’s channel about the proper human diet.
Hi Jim, I made the 'adjustement' in the last year ... will never eat bread, rice, potatos or pasta again. No biscuits, cakes or sweets/lollies/candy (region dependent words). I love my PORTERHOUSE steak (2 pieces nicely done in the air fryer), plus some veggies (eg, a tomato, a few beans/peas & beetroot) and possibly a hard boiled egg. Preparation & washing up is minimal (one plate, a fork and a knife). Despite the cost of the steak, it's still way cheaper than what some people spend on a takeaway that's got all the things that I prefer to avoid. If I'm home during the day, instead of steak, I'll cook a large beef pattie in the air fryer, and have that with a hard boiled egg. After dinner at night, instead of eating chocolate, I'll have a few Kalamata olives which seems gives me a really calm sleep at night (maybe there's a 'placebo' factor there). Sometimes I feel like taking a mini barbeque and some steak with me when I'm out on the Harley Davidson, and stopping somewhere for a roadside steak dinner!
