Thanks for the link, Carl. As far as the subject--yeah, DUH! Motorcycles are efficient machines for the most part--especially ones at 200-250cc's! The very outdated reference to the 60's and 70's was not needed, as we all know that the majority of Harley riders today are accountants, lawyers, and the like! We discussed mileage on Chinariders a couple years back, and I remember members commuting getting 75 to 80 mpg on their Roketas and Lifans. Heck, I think I should freelance and put stories together from members of this site and chinariders, and mention how people are buying motorcycles and scooters in droves, complete with quotes from snortin' norton and others .
