Thanks Mark for the letter, I picked up my bike on Saturday the 15th, at 3:00 pn, and I have now 388 miles, I have had no problems at all, and I wanted to check the mileage real bad, so I checked itwith 128 on the trip meter, and it took only 1.9 gallon 67.4 mpg, that is unbelevable, but the truth. I have ridden mostly 50 and 55 for this first 600 miles, but also I have ridden it for some of thoswe miles at 60 mph, no Jack Rabbit starts, just a good steady imput, there will be plenty of time to ride 75 and 80, as I have a big ride to Colorado planned for this seasons fall foilage spendor leaving on Sept. 7th, the second week in September is the time to see Colorado, then I will exit the Southwest corner and go to Texas, so I can see the Big Bend area for a few days, then back to Indiana. The only thing wrong on the LT is the fuel gage is very pessimistic, thats why I filled up at 128 miles, mine will show empty at 150 miles, but the yellow light wont come on until way after 200, so enjoy your bike. Joe
