Alternative fuel
Hi Hobbyman,
Just remember, in a fair wind and under all plain sail it is estimated that your average clipper ship developed about 40,000 HP.
And the wind is free!
But Dacron is expensive.Fred Hill, S'toon

Good Heavens GNEPIG! What the heck did you do to your Special? I'm getting around 40mpg without a passenger and around 30 with one...Originally posted by GNEPIG
1100 Special= 25 mpg which one would you use?)
At least by knowing this... I'm saving gas when taking the mom-mobile instead of trying to get 3 kids on one bike... can MPG be in the negatives?

Funny
I think I am getting better mileage after I changed the middle gear oil from the sludge that was in there . New air filter helps too I guess . Soon I'll be riding to my friends for my bi-yearly sync and color-tune . Oil change and new Iridium plugs might put the icing on the cake .XJ1100K
