the one thing i can remember from watching vintage bikes race up the 1/4 mile hill @ Houghton tower sprint was the smell of Castrol R , all my oils are fully synthetic now sadly !

Mmmmmm, I'm thinking crusty nipple milk now

Like I once told my mate, if he fell in a bucket of tits he would come out sucking his thumb

I use putoline in my 2 strokes and have done for a few years now , does anyone know if the 2 stroke oils smell like the old 4 stroke castrol R and are they fully synthetic ? if so it's on the shopping list !

XL 125
DT 125 LC
GAMMA 125

Got a 6 month ban for being silly on the GAMMA. Planned to take my test after the ban and get a RGV 250 or NS400R.

It never happened though.

That was almost 30 years ago.

Not saying one doesn't exist but over the years I've used several different oils in my saws, mineral to fully synthetic but never had or heard of one that smelled like Castrol R.
In the pre cat days the normal answer was to put a few drops into a car's petrol tank to get the smell. I don't think a modern 4 stroke engine would like that now though.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
