Not a bad light days ride. ;^) *where the hell is seldom seen smith when you need him, he always knows where you can find a chainsaw and gas.

I tend to cruise at 85+ on the freeway and I enjoy barnstorming our mountain twisties, so 50 MPG is just short of miraculous considering that it's a 560 pound bike carrying a 210 pound rider. If I consistantly rode at safe-and-sane speeds Lord only knows how good the milage would be. (The farkle that gives you your MPG at any given moment has regularly shown 60+mpg when cruising in 5th gear at circa 55 MPH, but I normally only see 55 MPH while passing through school zones.) > Geared high enough? Just right for what it is. As an old sport-biker I'd prefer it had 20 more horses and one more gear in the box, but that's just me. > Ergos good? Extremely. It's a great bike for covering long distances very quickly in reasonable comfort, and that's what I like to do. ~Pete

Just because he's a typical scared white guy.... You're fucked in the head if you really think Krusty. the fucked in the head racist, is a "typical scared white guy." That is obvious from his screeds, and if you can't see that, I genuinely feel sorry for you. |
