Well, I voted, I'm 40 but then after I did, I remembered that when I bought my first Paso I fit into the up to 25 group! But then again, I sold it and waited 15 yrs to get another....
Motul 5100, that's the ticket! I've still got a drum of the 3100, also very good. I pulled apart a race motor (900ss) with 27,000 miles of street riding and 10,000 race miles on it, wow did it look great inside. Still had all the cross-hatching on the cylinder walls. But the reason for the tear-down wasn't pretty; valve guide siezed to the stem, popped the guide right out of the head, which then met the piston... Not pretty! But not the fault of the oil, it was caused by not reaming out the guide one size bigger when I put the 944 kit into it. Oops, live and learn. Or don't learn.
How old are Paso riders ?

Just turned 63 on September 10. Bought my Paso new in 1988 November. Got the hots for one on a return trip from Laguna Seca in 1986, when my wife and I came across a journalist riding the press evaluation bike near Santa Paula (a small town north of L.A.).
We were on my '84 Ninja 900, a nice machine for two-up riding, as long as it wasn't too hot outside (it was too hot outside). So as we cooked our way home, I was somewhat surprised to see the bike in this location.
Since I'd been reading the press preview articles for some time, I should have been looking for it at the track. Anyway, the machine was a stunner in real life, and I knew I had to have one.
