Rich,
Paul says to thank you for your kind comments of support and to tell you 
that racing was dangerous enough without trying to do it on just 2 wheels! 
At least for him it was. :-) He said your point about detergents is exactly 
what he meant about what is in new motor oil. As you point out, you 
shouldn't put any detergent into the environment, regardless of the source. 
Just because something is legal doesn't mean it is the right or smart thing 
to do.

This comment is mine. About throwing "empty" oil cans into the trash, this 
is a poor assumption about Paul. He used to catch all kinds of grief from 
fellow racers because he was and is very meticulous about disposing of 
anything and everything that was environmentally hazardous in any way. He 
has never thrown cans or bottles containing oil or other residues into the 
trash or dump. Even way back then, there were oil recycling centers where 
you could dispose of your used oil and containers and these are where he 
took his. Ask any plumber, pouring cooking oil and grease down the drain is 
a bad idea because it clogs the pipes, if nothing else.
Regards,
Debbie Brodie for Paul
