[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3796514, member: 15054"] I won 20 bucks on a bet that I could not ride my V65 Magna all year to work. Rain, sleet, ice and snow I rode it and only dumped it 2 times. That bike never got hurt laying it over no busted off blinkers no busted clutch levers or brake levers. It was slow speed where it tumped over going over car ruts in the frozen ice on MacArthur on the way to FAA. I had a rain suit on and under that coveralls and then leathers. I wore a simpson neck brace and SNELL Approved helmet. I was actually sliding down the road and laughing. I may not be right in the head though. [USER=385]@Buzzdraw[/USER] stated if you are looking to save on fuel research the bikes and small cars. 36 MPG for my Honda Magnas and 35 in my Corolla or Geo and sometimes in the 38 in the cars but never on the bikes. Mother-in-law had a 1985 Honda 250 custom with belt drive and I asked her what MPG it got. She said 110 MPG. I said BS I want to drive it a couple days and you can drive my V45. She let me borrow the 250 and she left the V45 alone. With my 200lb butt on it I got 105 MPG. My younger son got his first bike a 250 Rebel 1998 was the year of the bike I think. 56 MPG and a super turd of a bike. I mover the handle bars forward and cut some foam out of the seat to move sitting position back and made forward controls and moved the pegs forward. Really improved that 250 rebel. MPG was terrible though. [/QUOTE]
