Re: what's your gas milage, 80 mpg here quite happy

Here is my theory on the going 70+ on a motorcycle, it is "Fun" as long as you are going 70+ for a minute or two just to see if you can (or if your bike can), but is no longer "Fun" when you are forced to go that fast for miles and miles on end for fear if you don't you will get squashed by the big shiny hunks of steel going Mach 1 down the freeway (no matter what certain people driving tanks on two wheels say).

Not only that, I don't find blasting down the road as fast as I can go on a long trip to be fun anyways, if I need to get there in a hurry I will ride in a car, my longer distance motorcycle rides are to get out and relax, be alone on the open road and jam out to some good tunes, not try and break the Land speed record.
