I usually don't make trips over 20 mile round trip, although I have. Use about a half of a tank or so. Don't know don't care..when low add fuel. 210# 66.5 cc

You got bigger gonads then I do...never would I ride my bike WOT for so much as 2 miles, not because of the engine but speed. A bicycle is NOT designed for such speed. Should something happen to the frame, wheels etc you could end up FUBAR.

Stock, factory bike & particularly boxstore w/the modern demand for lightness - yea, defo and I agree...

But run a solid vintage bike completely restored, upgraded w/the heavy duty Worksman wheelset, with every last nut, bolt & bearing gone over & upgraded too... now it's a lil bit different lol

Re: how much fuel does your ht burn?

MY "bicycle" is designed for top speeds. Like BA said, I built it to last and to handle the speeds. what worries me the most, is other people on the road. but i figure they're gonna hit me whether i'm pedaling along at 7mph, or raging next to them at 45, so i just go for it.
