I cruise at around the same speed/rpm but I don't think I was getting as good mileage as that. my tune was quite a bit off too, not sure if it will get better or worse with the new map. they squeezed another 8 hp and 9 ft/lb of tq out of the 95" after 4+ hours on the dyno. if it ever stops raining here I'll have to go for a ride to find out

Teeroy. ..allow me to clarify. That mileage is from riding at a higher elevation. Down here I usually get 38 or so

Home from the hospital. Managed to get my dad out of there before he strangled a nurse. Can't ask for much more than that.

Afternoon Woods. Lou and I are doing a little laundry in preparation for departure Saturday. Good little short ride with Ken, Gail, Doc, OG Mark, and Baker.


Hoping Russ and the others don't hit anything too heavy weather-wise before they get back.
