Thanks..that was the only thing I kinda remembered readin' about. He'll be lucky if he puts 2k miles on a year...just back and forth the 3 blocks to the firehouse. Bike happens to be the FF edition.

Only 13.... geesh!

Yep.... I really didn't think it was that bad. Maybe I need to look more often. Turns out, I was gettin about 120 miles on a tank. Probably do better if I didn't hot rod it?
