 Arctic Ocean, and back on an eight thousand mile trip and not once I had to
 think of boiling water.  That system has too many components with each
 having  the potential of ending your trip any minute.  It is a dependent
 motor.  Still riding on the fame of his grand daddy that made all the money.
 Besides you hit the wall when it comes to paying for parts and the constant
 scientific service that keeps you hostage.  I even think, that the
 electronic system that is on the earlier models, have the same character.
 All the dependency on the sensoring and computer and AFM just to get gas in
 there is unnecessary.  It really is not a huge improvement over the
 carburetor.  Three thousand bucks is the price of all the stuff that is
 there to do that.  Stupid.  Well it is smart to come up with and keep the
 mob hostage for milking.  But defensive car ownership dictates to do away
 with complications, dependency, high price parts, unmanageable faults.  You
 don't want to be stuck at any mile just because it is convenient for someone
 to make money off you.  These lines you will not see taught to you on  the
 TV or your dealership that "cares".  This is tought to you by people who
 know this and really cares.  And those, my friend, are so  very few in this
 Money World that you might only count them on one hand, or if you get a
 little older, one finger.  Anyone that is in any possible way can be a
 competitor now or ever will not have the inclination to talk this way.  And
 that can really be only your parents, provided you have any or they know any
 of these principles.  Only they want you to be a hundred time better than
 they were.  None else. Exceptions are very few.  There is a constant
 competition out there.  For survival basically.
 And this is the sole reason why air cooled ones would serve you better.
 Less dependence, less money and time wasted,  so you can concentrate your
 energy and time on more important things to do.  And engine is well made if
 it needs no more attention than a refrigerator.
