Did You Ride Today? Where To and How Far? - Page 95

Did about a 60 mile ride today for a RTE in Brooksville. Took back roads down and back. It was beautiful 74 and sunny.

Wife was a little under the weather, so since both our bikes hadn't been ridden in a while (do to various reasons) and the weather was sunny and in the mid 60s, I took them out (one at a time) for a little ride. Put about 50 miles on them, filled them back up and added a little Seafoam, then parked them back in their spots in the basement on their tenders. Colder weather is suppose to be moving back in, so guess we'll be off the bikes for a little while.

Well, I rode a little yesterday. 7 miles today and plan a short ride tomorrow to start off the new year. Happy New Year.

did a 260 mile RT to The Hideout down south then to Hell's Kitchen yesterday... Averaged 41 Mpg's riding double... Yellow low fuel light came on at 177 miles and took 4.3 gallons to fill. First time I tried to push it a little to see when that light comes on.

Temp is at its peak of 63 and will only start dropping this afternoon so took a quick ride. It was only a 5 mile ride but at least I did get my New Year's ride in.

140 today down to the lake and back. Cooler weather really helps the MPGs if you track that. 2up 42mpg.....no super slabs, just cruising along.

Got in about 180 today.Came across a large group 80-87 bikes down in Asheboro,nc
The Southern riders or Southern cruisers They meet at the golden coral on the frist every year. Met some good people today. Todd the cooler weather don't do my mpg's any good.

We did the long trip up to GA, then to AL and back home earlier in the week and a couple shorter rides. It is a great two up bike and I think it is a dream to ride.

Don't know what the future holds with it though. We shall see.

I rode 16 miles yesterday and another 60 miles today. Ended one year with a ride and started the new year with a ride. Saw a lot of bikes out and about today.
