Ah yes. The Black Hills has (have?) always been one of my favorite
places to visit and ride.

Eastbound is downhill. <g>

There's not a significant grade. There is, however, a prevailing
tailwind.

:And you can say this having personally ridden how many of them?
:Some people on the Concours Owners Group forum report considerably
:better than that. I suspect they are taking it *real* easy.

I can say that after having read the tests in MCN and cycle world.
The COG guys are mostly riding ZG1000 models. I had one an it got
about 42mpg.

If anybody is reporting over 40mpg on the Concours 14 they are full
of shit.

Like I said, not if they're riding it slowly enough.
