One might be able to get that kind of range and MPG if traveling nonstop at
45-50 mph in 5th gear all day.
Maybe they had a top secret prototype high mileage carburetor that
accidentally made it on to a production bike. Oil companies will not be
happy if this gets out. If Al Gore only knew . . .

thanks for all of the good info. on warm weather jackets as well as where
to find the tool link. amazing how putting in "Gino" makes a difference
when doing a search.

Go to the website and search the archives under "tool kit" or "Gino's
tool kit" and you'll find a pretty detailed list (including toilet
paper). But remebner to take a grain of salt with you on your search,
as with any thread on this list, it can quickly turn tongue in cheek
(and usually a butt cheek to boot).
