We just got home also, great meeting everyone.
Wife got 38.5mpg riding just the Blue Ridge and MV area.
The Museum was AWSOME, had to go around twice and was still amazed.
I certainly hope OM's crutch wasnt too tall for him, hate to hear of a back up flow.(that would be worse than a bad boot day)
Great time even without the rootbeer.

Speaking of Rally Reports.
Mileage check up there, riding in the mountains, easy and hard riding through the twisties and the ride back... 40.1 MPG for me.
Yes I too found it hard to believe but this is for real. I filled up just up the street from the house. Saving all of my receipts and filled up again at the same station coming home. Used B mileage on the speedo for the trip. Added the receipt gallons and did the math.
Ted, another trike rider up there, got the same while riding the twisties on a 300 mile day so I'm not the only one. Anyone else have a good gas day?

Hey guys, just got home. It was a hot one coming home. We stopped in Danville, Va last night as my butt was killing me. Came the rest of the way today. Had a wonderful time up there and I am so glad I got to meet you guys! I see a mustang seat in my near future, plus new pull back risers. It was 107* when we pulled in at 2:30 pm today.
Barbara, I am not sure what Mike is referring to.....maybe tshirts? because I kept winning them right after I bought a bunch at the museum.

It seems the iron butt is becoming a problem with a lot of us, or lack of! Check out the Roho Airhawk Motorcycle seat cushion thread, we are kicking it around and trying to come up with something that works. They make bed covers for hospitals "alliviate bed sores" and wheel chair pads for people that have to sit in them long term! I see some good reviews and alternatives. I won't need the pull back bars but something has to give on the saddle, the OEM ain't making it and I can't see spending $700 bucks on a Corbin or Mustang seat that may not work!
I am buying an Airhawk for the truck first, I see where people buy them for office chairs that have to spend a lot of time at their computers. If it works for the auto may try on the Trike!
