just been on the buelletinboard.com forum where there is a discussion about fuel economy does this mean that buells are mainstream bikes now and we have to get out our slippers and pipes and rocking chairs and discuss how much money we can save by going everywhere at 30mph....ride it like you stole it!!!

My CR has a worse drink problem than me, I'm on first name terms with the guys at the petrol station......

..beat me to it....who gives a shit how much juice it uses

A number of us were down to 30 mpg for part of the JogLe

I maintain that knowing your fuel consumption is important, not for economical reasons though.

My XBS so far done worst 28mpg best 52.5mpg and average 36mpg.

A far cry but my car does around 9.4 mpg in town and on my recant trip to the Vaterland I managed on a strip of about 400 miles an average speed of 125mph and 21mpg so speed is not important its the stop and go or brake and accelerate.

I'll bet my trumpet beat all the Buells on the Jog challenge for fuel consumption. I only filled up twice for the entire journey

Did you put Diesel in it?

Goldy's quite good at making 'friends' in pubs

I'm not a pipe-and-slippers type, but I certainly noticed that my Uly drunk a lot less petrol than my GS did.

And looked better...

And had fewer problems...

And sounded better...

And was just way frick'n cooler...
