nonsv content: gold wing poor gas mileage

[Randy Grein]

It's the 1500, just about the last of the carburetor models. Started  
with a full tank and ran it down, haven't had a chance to fill it back  
up yet, so I'm using the fuel gauge. However the first half tank went  
just as fast and there's no way it could be off that badly.
