i was riding saturday,finally got some good weather.i stopped by the bike shop in my town,i was curious about gas mileage on my 83 venture.i have been reading post about how many miles that riders get on a tank of gas.it varies from 35-47 or so.i told the guy about it he laughed at me.he said the only way those bikes can get that kind of mileage if they pushed them.he said that a bike has to be 250 cc or smaller to get that kind of mileage. he said that i was looking at about 20-25. so whats the deal? so who is blowing smoke? i guess i do about 140 or so
