My best guess is that it didn't "format" properly?

It relates to the railroad ad on TV that states their freight trains can move "x" tons of cargo "y" number of miles on a gallon of fuel.

It makes sense to me but I'd think your wife would be po'd about posting her weight on the web.

Actually, she rides the Rebel and has a full helmet and a heavy leather jacket with chaps. I'm the one that has gained the weight over the last few years. That RR ad seems almost unrealistic but I can't imagine they'd fib to us. Since they talk about moving a ton of ˜freight' 423 miles on a gallon of fuel I assume they aren't counting the weight of the empty train. If so, that's pretty good. I count the whole coach since it's our home on wheels.
