There was always the case of the guy who bought half a gallon of 3 star and half a gallon of 4 star as he was told 5 star was good but 7 star was even better

You are showing your age now with 2,3,4,and 5 star petrol. I remember my dad putting 5 star in his Triumph 2500 TC when it was towing our caravan as a treat for it pulling it up those welsh hills
Must have left the spacer out. the harley though poses a few questions, why was it there and how come nobody spotted before as it had been there some time.

Showing my age, well I remember in 1972 as an apprentice, I used to fill up my XL 250 for the week, petrol at the time was 24p a gallon!!!!! just under 50p for a tank full. But if you were going on a long journey you used to fill up with JET petrol was about 5p gallon cheaper but it was the rubbish that only just made the star grade. Often makes me wonder about cheap supermarket petrol as I am sure my disco goes further on petrol station fuel than fuel from a supermarket.
For those of you of a certain age who do not know what a gallon is 1 gallon is 4.54 litres.
These were the days when the English were good at maths we had to be
20 fluid ounces to the pint, 2 pints to the Quart, 4 Quarts to the gallon
16 ounces to the pound, 14 pounds to the stone, 8 stone to the hundredweight, 20hundredweights to the ton
12 pennies to the shilling, 20 shillings to the pound, 21 shillings to the guinea
12 inches to the foot, 3 feet to the yard, 1760 yards to the mile
22 yards to chain, 10 chains to the furlong, 8 furlongs to the mile, from what I remember a cricket pitch is 1 chain long
going decimal made things simple, but certainly not for the better, and 40 years on we are still not fully decimalised, go to any plumbing supplies iron metal pipe and its fittings are still listed in imperial measurement as you would have to buy 6 metres of 2 inch pipe.
And a US gallon is different from a UK Imperial Gallon

But it is a Harley taken within 20 miles of the coast and salt air for more than an hour and it's chrome would start to blister!
This is just the result of a night under the surf after some Easy rider ate to much hallucinogenic cactus at a beach party and forgot where he left it, and probably who he was for that matter!!
Must have left the spacer out. the harley though poses a few questions, why was it there and how come nobody spotted before as it had been there some time.
It washed up on the west coast of america (I think) after the tsunami in Japan!!

Do they float?!!
Don't imagine so, but there was a bloke who did get his Hardley back when the shipping container it was being stored in when the tsunami hit washed up on the American coast.
