Riding
Dear Wisconsin,
You make some of the best things including Kwik Trip, Culver's, and even Harley Davidson. However, one thing that stands out above all is Amsoil—making some of the most quality lubricants. Something unique about Amsoil that most other lubricant and oil manufacturers can’t say is that it works for virtually all automotive, power sports, commercial, and industrial applications.
Amsoil, unlike other oil/lubricant manufacturers, is located in Superior, Wisconsin. Amsoil also employs over 350 people. Amsoil was founded in May of 1969 by a man named Albert Amatuzio, the company has been in business for 53 years. Amsoil also supports anyone who wants to develop a career in the automotive industry. They give back to the community in the form of scholarships to help students with education costs and they also support and sponsor racers to help them follow their passion.
In 1972 Amsoil was the world's first lubricant manufacturer, to create an oil that met the API (American Petroleum Institution) requirement of the time.
During the summer My dad, my brother, and I went on a riding trip to Dyracus off-road park with our bikes. We loaded up all of the bikes and started on our way. As we get about two-thirds of the way there we realized I need gas for my bike. At this point, most people would think this isn't a big deal just stop and fill it up at Kwik Trip. The problem with this was that my bike is a 2 stroke. This means it does not run on just straight gas. You need to mix oil into the fuel at a ratio of 32:1. So we thought maybe there was some oil in my dad's truck somewhere. We found the nearest Kwik Trip we would find and stopped. We frantically searched his truck. We finally found 2 little bottles of Amsoil saber. Huge relief to realize that we do not need to try and find a store that sells oil. So we use my dad's gas can which was empty and mixed up so gas for my bike and we were on our way. We finally get there after a long two-and-a-half-hour drive, but it's always worth it. Being able to race around with each other, and roost them when they are behind you. Not worrying about neighbors complaining about the sound, or my dad being mad that I tore up the grass. Being able to ride around a muddy track at 50 mph. There's no feeling quite like it. Some people say that when you get your driver's license there's a certain freedom feel to it and I agree with this, but there's nothing like being able to ride as hard and as fast as you want on a dirtbike. There's no greater freedom that a dirtbike. This is the reason I love Amsoil. It allows me to do what I love most. Riding my dirtbike with my family and friends and make great memories along the way that I´ll never forget. Amsoil makes this possible by standing above all and providing an oil I can always count on to protect my engine and keep me riding.
