So glad to see the majority here and their 42mpg figures, as that's my normal average. That's been consistent since I first got it, despite the claims by
@Igofar he routinely gets 50+.
We already know he's super-special, knows all the tricks, and the rest of us are just rotten, and our bikes all stuck unless he has whispered to it in the dark privacy of his Magic Shoppe (with all respect, Larry.)
And I'm just anal enough to record gallons and miles traveled at every fueling, no exceptions.
Many of my miles reduce my net taxes, that's partly the reason, but I also continually attempt to justify owning and riding a bike versus the car.
Even if we all know it's an exercise in futility, as the big bikes cost more per mile to operate and maintain.
Shhh!
Don't tell my wife!
"See, honey, I get TWICE the mpg on the bike as I do in the car!"
Never mind gas costs more, tires cost more, riding gear costs more, farkles definitely cost more, etc, etc.
But let's forget all that
And give me the number if you can find it
So i can call just to tell them i'm fine and to show
I've overcome the blow
I've learned to take it well
