On a flat surface with a good tail wind I can hit about 48 MPH.

But unlike my big motorcycles, you can set like a case of beer and maybe 2 bags of ice on the floorboard, plus more shit under the seat.

I know it's paid for itself in gas already versus if i drove one of our cars our trucks for these little trips.

Sometimes I can go a whole week without driving a 4 wheel vehicle.

But then again I have most everything I need within a few miles of home.
