Ethanol-free gas

If you are interested in finding a gas station that sells ethanol-free gasoline for your motorcycle, hot rod or whatever, use this handy website (for USA and Canada).    http://pure-gas.org/

pure-gas.org is a site dedicated to one, simple task: to list the gas stations in the U.S. and Canada that serve ethanol-free gasoline. Many cars, motorcycles, boats, aircraft and tools have engines that run worse, or have parts that deteriorate, when run on gasoline that contains ethanol. In addition, ethanol leaves residue on valves and other parts that can hinder performance.

Here's a video about vintage Cafe Racers:
