    Best fuel mileage EVER!

    My average fuel mileage is 40-42 unless I am feeling my oats, then it drops to 37-38. I just completed a 1600 mile tour with a couple from New York. They were on rented HD's, and since I was being paid to guide them around NorCal, I adjusted my pace down to theirs...kept it in the 3500 to 4000...

Is there any real interest in buying one? If there is interest, does this sound interesting: 10 orders...

    Gas Mileage And Range...

    I just finished a 4-day tour of Norcal, 1125 miles total. All types of roads, but a ratio of 50% twisty, 40% sweepers and 10% freeway. After the trip, I averaged my fuel consumption and arrived at some figures: 43.2 mpg with a calculated range of about 285 miles. I am curious how this compares...
