Morning Twisties

Most of the ultra modern BMW motorcycles should run OK on E-15, in fact most of us riders have probably used the equivalent of E-15 a few times already as alcohol & gasoline don't stay mixed properly unless agitated before serving.

The actual running & operation probably isn't going to be an issue, but any motorcycle storage for more than a week or two without riding could be a problem. Especially in bikes like the older bikes & the BMW 800 series that don't use coated fuel pumps.

It is going to be a disaster for older lawn care equipment, chain saws, & small engine devices that sit more than they get used.

Man, those Iowa corn farmers are going to love it.
