0 MPG.

Never understood why my dashboard has a tachometer. What am I supposed to do with that information?

It’s a common misconception that one horsepower is equal to the peak power production of a horse, which is capable of a maximum of around 14.9 horsepower. By comparison, a human being is capable of approximately five horsepower at peak power production.

Oy vey! ☺️

shudda rode you bike, Horace…!

I was just telling the story last night about having to push a truck by myself, steering with one hand and pushing on the door jam with the other

I ride by the tach and carry enough speed to keep me away from cages.
