    My mileage sucks on Great Ranger (it lives in San Antonio) - I fill up at 100 miles. On Rising Sun (it lives in San Diego) I never checked but also fill up after about 100 miles but its all around town riding in San Diego and the STD has a slightly bigger tank so it isn't a big deal like back in Texas where things are farther apart. Maybe if I get to do the SoCal Rally in June I can give it a test.

                when you come to town, and yes I guess I am a little subtle, I am just planning for my upcoming road trip, it looks like I could roll all the way to santa barbera without stopping

                    They're around if you look long enough. I sold my a couple years ago and I haven't missed it...

                        I guess my 78 is a Frankenstein bike now with a bobbed rear section fj carbs 4/1 pipe pacifico 81 tank and now a touring seat it might look weird but it runs and it is setup for longer range now but I guess I can always revert to street fighter in the summer
