When i hear that it make's me glad i ripped all the emision's crap off of mine. After fitting a K&N, rejetted the carb and using straight through pipe's,i dont get 40+mpg anymore,but i do get to to grin a fair bit.

Have you moved into the new house,and did you have a beer in that bar yet.

Moved into the house but that bar doesn't seem to be in business any longer. I did find a nice one just down the street a bit though.
