Default Malfunction???

I ran out for a quick bite to eat this afternoon. When I left, I had 47 miles on my trip odometer. When I got back I had 163 miles on it. Is this normal or is the odometer malfunctioning?

You were captured by the Time-Space Continuum. You actually do not age while caught in it. It only requires gas and oil to power it up.

another thing, related though, it that it takes quite some time to go to the corner store to pick up something for home. and, i'm always needing something. and with the price of gas, gotta ride the scoot to save some $

I have had the same problem. If I drive the cage to work it is a 17 mile, 25 minute ride. If I take the bike, it is at least 60 miles. I can't explain it...........guess I don't want to either......
