Since I donated my car to science, just before the deluge season, I have commuted almost exclusively from SF to San Bruno VIA Skyline Blvd. Much nicer mentally than the 280 competition out of SF. I get my earplugged radio going and listen to NPR or KNBR and just puttputt, and it only takes me an extra 5-10 minutes to get there. The drivers are not much more intelligent then the raving morons out on 280, but they are much meeker, and so are inheriting my exhaust gas. My gas mileage on the R1100RS has given me the average of 43 mpg, and so it costs about 12-15 dollars a week in fuel. Not too bad, but.... I am anticipating that I might be able to test the claim that my newest signature entry will get close to 75 mpg. Although I can't really fathom that at the moment, I will be able to report the truth sometime later in the week. It would be nice to spend 6 bucks a week on my commute though! Almost make my recent pay raise count for something... Jim Stinnett VTR1000 37mpg YZF R1 45mpg (depending of course) R1100RS 43mpg NX250 75mpg (claimed) [URL]http://moto-rama.com[/URL]
