Just an FYI, Stretch. Blackstone's motorcycle tests specifically include viscosity tests that do give you information about how the oil has held its properties.
While the tests I do on my airplane are more geared towards contaminants and residual metals, I do the tests on my motorcycle to find out how the oil held up under the particularly difficult conditions that I ride in (i.e. air cooled motorcycle in 100+ temps). Had it not been for the series I ran on the CB750, I would have had no idea that the oil's multigrade properties were deteriorating so quickly.
