Re: Ethanol E15 in US

Re: Recommend a lens
Buy some L glassware (even second hand if tested) and you'll not look back.

Re: New Bike
Have a look at Honda's AT (2016).
Awesome ride when I tried one. One non-stop grin, thoroughly loved it - even though I am way to short for it. Instantly put the fun factor back into a ride.

Re: Exhaust and the law
Legally - it'll be a design & construction issue. Plus, (strictly) it isn't permissible to modify an exhaust to be louder than the manufactures/vin specified level (on v5).

Re: bike FM
Your commute might be a boring as that. But I'd always shout out against any distraction - and music/talk-radio fits in there nicely.

Somehow I doubt you'll need a fraction of that - assuming you're not about to tour.

Was that a gap you were leaving for her or just being in the way. Would you do that on a bike?

Stand your ground (offer payment etc.)
If you feel obsoletely no option, occupy the paypoint until fully kitted out again - and don't bother using that station again.

Re: Recommend me a motorbike alarm!
