Vic,
Good report, and congratulations! So many think that a 100mpg single person vehicle is a stretch and you all are proving it's not that far away.

One important point you have made with your build is that it doesn't take rocket science, a big bank roll or even hundreds of hours of talented fabrication work to produce a 100mpg machine. Careful vehicle selection, basic bike set-up knowledge and surplus materials can net you very good numbers. And what is your total investment, $1000?

Again, nice work Vic. You have just pushed motorcycling a little farther ahead to the future.

A huge thanks to Craig Vetter in setting the stage and the height of the Limbo bar for the outstanding performances of this last event. It just keeps getting better and better.
