[QUOTE="bigone5500, post: 177867, member: 6064"] Well I rode my new-to-me bike today. I filled up where I always do and headed out. I rode over to the nearest harbor freight to pick up a couple small items and decided to go on a shortish ride and see if I could find this public boat ramp I had seen some time before...which I didn't... so after riding about 20 minutes I turned around and headed back to whence I came but detoured through another town. By this time hunger had taken me by storm and after arriving back in my hometown, I grabbed a burger and stopped back at the gas station I first filled up. The bike held 1.8 gallons and I had ridden 102 miles. That gives me about 56 mpg. My average speed was somewhere around 60 mph. The first 25 minutes of riding averaged about 75 mph. I think the bike is doing rather well considering it's 14 years old. Hopefully I'll get a good many more miles and much enjoyment on it. As a side note, I decided yesterday to put the pipes back on it that the guy before me had on it. They are Cobra Street Rod straight exhaust. And oh man are they loud!!!!
