Easy solution... get a smaller bike' date=' get better mileage [/quote'] i tried that. didnt work. to hard to bungee cord smaller bike on back of v-strom.

just thought i would share, yesterday i recorded a all time high of 53.6 mpg on my 05 v-strom DL1000. using 93 R+M/2 octane fuel w/sta-bil marine formula ethanol treatment. and this was no mileage run either. i ran 70-90 mph on super slab for 95 miles. then, another 80 miles on 2 lane main & back roads. including one 30 mile section that was so tite that i couldnt get any higher than 3rd & 4th. gear.

What do you use and why?

Did Mr. Clark pass?

just wanted to say hi, just got back into riding after a long pause. looking forward to listening in and learning. not really on much, but wanted to get registered so could enjoy the site better..

with little guy, it's hard if not impossible to get away for a week or more for a motorcycle trip.

What makes a ride enjoyable to you?

v-strom DL1000:

over the pass 6000miles of in town, hi-way and, everything in between, i averaged 41mpg.

Going to watch Friday practice only (cant do rest of weekend), but it seems you CAN'T buy a Friday-ONLY pass. I'd be willing to buy the full weekend general admission (70 bucks each x 2 people) if I can pawn off the tickets to someone who can use them Sat and Sun for a few bucks. unless someone has a better suggestion...

for some good riding check out Roan Mtn. TN.. located near the snake-421. then Rt.80 due south to BRP.

you mean the crash & burn fest.
