Depending on hills, weather and roads the number may differ but that should help you to not run out of fuel.
that would work well if I actually had a trip. I just have to paid better attention to it.

the previous owner has told me that it has been in a magazine before. he didn't tell me which one so I'm not surE if he was pulling my leg or not. I guess I wouldn't know where to start or who to send the pictures to if I was to do that. I'm sure there's certain magazines that would be interested it more than others. it would be kind of cool if it was in a magazine though.

I like the shifter and clutch lever setup. It's not for everyone and certainly would make some people nervous but it looks great and probably functions we'll for a bike NOT intended for long hauls or heavy traffic commuting. Gotta remember the purpose of a bike like this is for the pure joy of the ride.

Nice find, good deal!

Long ride just for a spin, but I'll call ya summer after this, planning to do the 48 in 10 IBC summer 2015. Might be the only time I'm in your neck of the woods before I retire.

Till then, enjoy your awesome bike, I'll be satisfied looking at the pics.
