I put 3.89 gallons of low test into the Tri Glide tank today, it had gone 150 miles.

150/3.89=38.56 MPG.

I need a nap.

It will just spin the inside wheel...Or maybe just go in a straight line.

Maybe I should stop trying to do my share of CONTRIBUTING and just CONSUME info from the forum.

Most of us have been around a time or two and some of us have been riding since we were 10 years old or so.

A lot of the information you provide we know from years of experience and riding and this stuff comes naturally.

Many of us are old dudes and have a sarcastic slant as we have been bikers most of our lives and not just RUB's with a fat wallet.

Many times in life, you just take the hit, leave it behind and keep moving forward.

Your tests and calculations are interesting to you but may not be interesting to others.

Have fun with it, but understand we may have fun with it also and pick apart anything that may be suspect.

Me, I would like to see some pictures of where you ride and the areas that are of interest to you. Real pictures of historical places or interesting sights are far more fun to me than calculations of turning radius or gas mileage, which I can do naturally. If I have to do a U-Turn I just find a driveway or side access ramp area to turn around.

Here are a couple of pics I took today, made a U-Turn on the highway to go back and take it as the colors were showing nicely in the sunshine.

After this, for sure.

I learned long ago, if you choose to post on any public forum, sooner or later someone will hurt your feelings, it simply goes with the territory when posting anything public.

Don't believe me? Start a thread and ask what oil is the best for a Harley and see what happens...

I hope you can get over it OP but you can't expect people you don't know on a free public form to always play nice.

I suggest lighten up Buttercup, keep posting what you want and try to enjoy this great forum again...
