I'm having a hard time calculating. I have to drain about a gallon at night so it doesn't overflow onto the garage floor by morning.

I bet you guys get tired legs from pushing a Nomad too! Why don't you turn on the switch press the button and then hear thumpa thumpa thumpa, and try riding......

I want to know what you guys are feeding your Nomads that causes them to have Gas all the time?
You might want to drop a "Beano" tablet in the tank next time you open it to drain off some Gas? :-) (please God, don't let anyone be stupid enough to actually do that!!!)

You bunch of losers still using gasoline?
I replaced my engine with an electric motor I stole from GM for one of the new Chevy Volts. (Obama wasn't guarding the shop too well.) I filled the onetime gas tank with the new lithium ion batteries. (Stole them at the same time as the motor.) I'm getting 327 miles on a single charge. I can ride all day by just plugging it into a wall outlet when I stop to eat or go to the bathroom. This is the way to go guys! Don't buy a drop of gas and I don't even have to pay for the electricity. Hope the neighbor never finds that long drop cord I ran over to his house!

What got this thread started? I guess it doesn't matter, I can tell a tall one as good as the next guy. You know when you buy a new bike, the dealer doesn't put but a small amount of gas in it. Well, I rode mine home and just decided I wouldn't put any gas in it. I have put 3500 plus miles on that sucker and it is still running on the gas the dealer had in it. Maybe one day I will have to buy gas but don't see that happening anytime in the near future. How is that for gas mileage?

Once there was a joke about the French Canadians and chain saws, this is the same joke but for us I guess.
The jist of the joke was the logger didn't know how to run the saw, and went back to the dealer to complain he could only cut the same cords as he could before. The saleman started he saw to see what was wrong and the logger said "What's that noise?"

I'm a former Chemist from DuPont and I discovered using pee in your tank is fine and actually emits less pollution than gasoline.
I always have a 12 pack of Stout strapped to the rack in case the tank is getting low.

Oh geeze.... A conversation like this got started on a mustange site and some kid thinking his new stang might have 'engine sludge' yanked the oil drain and filled the engine with water from a fast running garden hose till the crankcase filled to the bottom of the moving pistons.
Crunch! no more pistons! I hope no one tries any of this BS....
