Hi, late to this party with nothing especially useful.

Of course I enjoy reading the debate amongst the usual suspects. I recall way back in 1970 buying a manual called the idiots guide to VW maintenance or some such, where the author, John Muir, recommended warming up the engine whilst rolling a cigarette and getting a good draw going before putting the vehicle in gear. A practice I still adhere to today.

Synth v. Dino? I dunno, I use synth in all my motorcycles, but those are high rev engines. I suspect we could lubricate our FL120's with YAK fat.
