I steal mine from the grease pits at fast food restaurants.

My exhaust smells like french fries....

I use "FaMunda Cheese" myself.
Easy to use and have a neverending supply

A friend of a friend's friend who works at a garage somewhere said he heard from some old fart to use a 50/50 mixture of Syn/Dino. Add in a couple of drops of Teflon to help it flow easier and you're golden.

I've been using, "Holy Annointing Oil". I hear the Big Guy uses it in his bike.

If it's good enough for him...

I use Oil of Olay. Quite pricey, but it makes for a visibly younger looking motorcycle with reduced signs of wear.
