This is the lesson I am trying to unlearn
Bigger is Better
I have owned 5 Bikes, of varying sizes
My Piaggio 250 is adequate to 95% of the tasks your bike does
It is insufficient to travel on the Interstates
For the most part, it does not matter
Most of what I must do can be done on this bike
And from a standpoint of Biker Life
It is all about The Ride
Any time spent NOT in a cage of steel
is time well spent
Also, it is MORE fun
to drive a slow bike, fast,
Than to drive a fast bike, slow.
I'll stick to my bike in a difficult economic climate
But I'd LOVE to spend time on your bike.
Live to Ride
Ride to Live
Live in Peace
I was just stating for the unlearned reading the thread why I only got 50 MPG.
Not being able to get on the Interstate would be a large bother to me. But then again, I commute 300 miles a week.
Ride safe, ride long.
