Re: Mileage POLL : How many ya got? How many will you...?

Easy, you're right - think I had you confused with canuck from that other thread. And scheezo, I agree - I would have no problem doing a motor swap if I had to when the time came. I swear I love my GZ more every day I ride it. My desire to get a bigger bike seems to have almost completely disappeared as I get more and more comfortable with my ride.

I drive mine to work every day, 5 days a week, even in the 115 degree heat. I am saving a ton on gas money, and to be honest, the heat really isn't that big of a deal, unless I am stopped at a light for a long time. And, contrary to what some may believe, my mesh riding jacket actually keeps me cooler than if I was wearing no jacket : it is designed to channel the airflow for maximum cooling, and it keeps the direct sun off me.

In short (or not I guess! Lol) I am planning in riding my GZ until I retire basically, how even many miles that takes! :lol:

Have a great, and safe, weekend everyone :2tup:

good suggestions.

GZ might go beyond 100K but in the hands of 3rd or 4th owner.

Wow emory, that is quite the commute! I would venture to guess you are loving the gas mileage of the GZ eh? I know I sure do, especially compared to the 13 or 14mpg my dodge truck gets!

Good luck and ride safe :2tup:

Re: Mileage POLL : How many ya got? How many will you...?

dodges will run forever, but they aren't well known for economy.

my taurus wagon is geting 26-28, but now that gas is finally going up again, yeah, i'm lovin my geezer and its 58-82. long as i can keep it down to 50 or so, i'll keep getting that 80+ and not complain so much about my sore butt.
