before you say it no i don't ride like a wuss.
You couldn't keep up with Chucca and me at GM (and you were marking )
Lance does ride quick, but the bike is fully sorted

That'd what its like for me, 50ish mpg doing 70/80mph on motorway with the odd blast to keep me awake. Then 100ish miles to a tank (13litre) when commuting to college everyday have had a 80 miles to 13l but I was bombing it mixed with college and stop starting.
