If I can get more than that I'll be more than happy. Even with the gas prices slowly going down. I'd rather pay half as much in gas a week

I used to ride BIG antique American iron (Knucklehead HDs, Panhead HDs, and Indian Chiefs). The wind barely affected them, EXCEPT in farm country gusts. The Savage is so light it blows around when a Goldwing passes it (mine is sub-300 pounds now). All you can do is compensate lean and be ready to correct and come upright at a moment's notice. Either that, blow around the lane, or stay home. Staying home is boring, so...
