I have this jacket, same black with yellow color scheme. I'm pleased
with it. Topped off with an Axis Yellow Shoei X-Eleven, they have to
be about blind not to see me. I find this jacket to be good year
round in the Phoenix, AZ area. If I'm going far and it's near
freezing, I'll add my Widder vest.

ethanol issues and octane - plus water
I have a number of issues with this alcohol blend thing, and have
managed to avoid using the stuff so far. In NSW, Australia, not all
brands have it (yet).
A technical issue is that, litre-for-litre (gal4gal), it gives less
energy than 100% hydrocarbons, and importantly it needs to be mixed
with less air. In other words, with standard carby/injection settings,
your motor will get too much air, ie it will run lean. This is because
you can rearrange the formula for ethanol, C2H5-OH , to get C2H4-H2O.
Thus it has a "free" molecule of water attached - except that you pay
good $$ for it, and it can damage your engine if you're already jetted
on the lean side when running 100% hydrocarbons. The alcohol lobby gets
away with it only because most vehicles have a big enough safety margin
of richness. I don't know what the theoretical or practical numbers
relating optimum jetting to % ethanol are, though. Does anyone out
there know?
BTW, because of that H2O, ethanol is harder to ignite than 100% h-c, so
this might give problems in some engines, though it means that the
octane rating will be increased, as with methanol (CH3-OH).
Environmentally, ethanol is at best of marginal benefit, if not
disastrous. How much overall energy/CO2 reduction is gained after
clearing land, making agrichemicals including fertiliser, on-farm
energy use, grain transport, hydrolysing, brewing and, especially,
distillation of the alcohol from the brew? B-all!! And the cost of
farmland degradation (erosion)? How about the increased pressure on
food prices? And the September 2007 OECD report at
http://www.oecd.org/dataoecd/9/3/39411732.pdf largely agrees.
It's a ripoff by the farm lobby.
