Yea........figured I would catch crap for not going  :flipoff:
Sucks but even if I was able to get out of my obligations I couldn't have made it anyways because of unplanned issues with getting the bike back together.   :(

 :Unexpected: what did everyone break?
45 MPG awesome dude, I was afraid the stories of ours not being that good were true.  I was thinking if it gets barely better than the Lancer that would be pathetic.
Was that 45 on a whole tank of general mixed city/freeway riding?  That seems awesome for real world riding!

 :flipoff:  ;) Hey I admit I am no lead wrist but I'm not that slow,  besides the damn thing is turning 6 at about 75.  It does putt around town pretty well in sixth though.
I have filled up twice now but haven't calculated mileage, I will figure it out this weekend though :wootwoot:

Yeah at six you cant see crap and it for sure doesn't feel smooth like it does up higher.

Rumor has it Chad that the next one is from a certain area across the pond  :sherlock:

You Bandit owners - to help dampen the vibration at low rpm's - fill the handle bars with lead/bb's.  This will help with the vibration and is cheap.
