Not really a fan of either Thin Lizzy or Gary Moore. Dont get me wrong, I wont dismiss them, just doesnt do it for me.
I’m not either, had the chance to watch Thin Lizzy shortly before Phil died didn’t go just wasn’t enough of a fan.

Morrison supermarket petrol has been E10 for a few years I believe. I was told by the dealers never to use Morrison’s petrol in my Ford

This isn't exhaustive because most are E10 compatible and is even in the owners manual to say it is (my V2 does for example). I would still only use premium which I believe is staying as E5, but if worst comes to worst, check your owners manual (you can download electronically if out on the road) and if it's listed, you can use it.
There is a very interesting article about the effects of E10 from the Federation of Historic Vehicle Clubs : https://fbhvc.co.uk/fuels Although most of you will run modern fuel injected Ducatis it is still worth a read. The ethanol in the has a greater greater oxygen content, effective leaning the mixture. Bikes with modern injection and Lambda sensors will compensate to some extent but older bikes particularly those with carburetors will not. This could mead going up a size on the main jet and possibly lifting the needles by a notch. Whatever, fuel consumption will increase. The is of course the added problems of increased corrosion and detrimental affects on rubber and plastic components in the fuel system.
