My speedo is off, when I'm doin' 60, it reads 70...so, in my mind, I'm doin' 70 ;)...but, the motor seems to like 60 better'n 70, with gas and oil consumption (sweet little 1641 that it is)... When I have to (and there's an ever so slight incline), she'll go 80, but not for long! --- Shelby Shook <sloweyefasthand@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > I do about 70 on the highway...and stay in the > middle so I'm real noticable > and no one plows me off the road.
