I ran into a BMW guy the other day buying a half helmet. We started talking about bikes and he told me that he aveage 1200 miles a week on his bike because he uses if for his business travels. He rides a motorcycle to save on gas and he said the reason he traded his Harley for a BMW was to get distances between gas stations. He like the sound and comfort of his old harley over the BMW, but just needed the bigger tank or better fuel mileage, whatever the BMW gets. I didn't think to ask if his Harley had the bigger tank, but I assume not. He left with his new helmet jumping on the highway for a meeting 600 miles away.
