I use the grease left over in the pan after cooking bacon. Works well and smells good

Hardcore riders cook the bacon with the chain in the skillet, opens up the pores of the chain for the ultimate lube job, and does smell great as mentioned

For some reason I’m only about 70% confident this is a joke...

I boil bass guitar strings, so anything is possible.

I like pulling out the spray lube & going to town on our chains. There are 2 garages full of street bikes, dirt bikes, go karts & bicycles here, so it's one long therapeutic process to cover them all...

For what it's worth...I have always used chainsaw bar oil on my chains. I get incredible chain and sprocket life.
It does not sling off and make a mess either.

After I became a vegan the bacon routine was a no go, I now use the 3M Industrial teflon dry lube spray. Cost effective and good stuff but no fancy label to impress with

Went into Walmart and asked where I could find some tranny fluid and the kid looked at me funny. It only got worse when I said I wanted to use it as lube. Strange.
