RE: [ST] WHOA NELLIE !!!! (Andy & Jack)

Ok.  I give! :)  BTW, I carry a small camping gas can in my bag because
I ran out of gas the first day I had it.  Maybe I'll see how far I can
push it someday, but I don't know how I could ride on the slab at 70mph.
My bike just refuses to.  Heck, when it sees an open 1/4 mile (with
driveways, intersections, etc.) it just strains at the leash until I let
it go a bit.  I've never got more than about 40-45 mpg from day one.
(Stone stock.)
