Just click on the "Cumulative distribution" tab at the bottom of the screen.

This is the Excel "average" stat, or mean. I suspect most of the cruiser crowd would be confused by listing that as "mean." I'd like to include a distribution chart in the spreadsheet, but haven't done the work for that yet. It will be a very fat tail curve, though. T.W.

But then, that wouldn't be cool or fun would it? <br />I am sick of hearing how sports bike or large tourer riders are saving the planet and cutting down on traffic congestion by riding their bikes.

I had a chance to <a rel="nofollow" href="http://home.comcast.net/~twday60/geezer/reviews/suzuki_gladius.htm"> ride one the first year it was available </a>here. There is no good reason why you shouldn't expect it to replace a lot of your cage miles during the year. It's 31F out today and the roads are mostly clear. I'm digging my gear out for a late Friday afternoon ride.T.W.

To me that is low but non-moto related things seem to get in the way on the weekends.<br /><br />Your post just makes me want to get out on the bike more.<br /><br />I do find it funny how many bikes we see for sale that have very low miles. 3-4 year old biks with less than 1,000 miles, etc.Trobairitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03453398807198746434noreply@blogger.com
