    I can relate to Bill C. - I got a 33mi commute each way on state highway.........currently getting a smidgen under 52mpg.\\/

    Even with prices in the $3.40 range - I saved about $70 by taking the GS700ES over the last 2 weeks as opposed to using my Taurus. :-D

      81GS850L with vetter fairing and bags.
      46mpg @ 55mph, 36mpg @ 70mph.
      I ride 82 miles a day to work and back.
      The secret's in the wrist.
      09 Yamaha Venture Royal (my first Yamaha)
      83 Honda VT500FT Ascot (three of them)
      81 GS650G for the wife.
      82 Suzuki GS850GL Bought it 3 times, sold it twice, then traded for a nice 82 GS1100G AND a 93 Honda 750 Nighthawk, even WOW!
      I am the master of my unspoken words, and a slave to those words that should have remained unsaid.

        45ish on my 1100EZ. MAC header, Holeshot can, adjustable needles, and the main jets (112.5s) out of an 82 Katana 1100. 42 around town on average, but out on the highway it regularly pulls down a bit higher than 45.

        When i had the stock exhaust, it pulled better than 50 on multiple occasions.

        Text messages with my youngest brother Daniel right after he was paralyzed:

        Me: Hey Dan-O. Just wanted to say howdy & love ya!

        Dan-O: Howdy and Love you too. Doing good, feeling good.

        Me: Give 'em hell, Little Bro!

        Dan-O: Roger that! :)
