    The 'best' MPG...

    I can easily get about 100MPG with my ride...


    Any of you guys get better?

    (yes I understand that my bike is slow and I can easily be passed by the heaviest of dumptrucks friends...)

    Slow speeds are cool when your butt is very close to the ground.


    FWIW, I measure our MPG using a digital speedometer/odometer and by knowing the exact number of onces of fuel that we have burned...

    Post up some numbers for comparison friends!

    It's actually about 1/4 of a gallon in the tank... I measure the fuel consumption by reading the odometer and measuring the amount of fuel that has to be added back to reach the 'majic line'.

    It kills me how much we can play for so cheap...

    I get about 40 miles to 1.9 gallons. Plus oil.
    It's only when you take the piss out of a partially shaved wookie with an overactive 'me' gene and stapled on piss flaps that it becomes a problem.

    One of my bikes can do 100km on a bowl of weetbix and three or four muesli bars.

    I win.

    My other bike, however, uses 6L/100km cruising on the highway in conditions of extreme restraint and, as far as I can tell, drinks virtually infinite amounts of dinosaur juice every time the rider plucks up the courage to open the throttle anywhere near all the way.
