OK...here are the "stats" from the trip...will post in the thread we were talking about this too if I can remember which one it was.

Total distance - 4275.9 miles
Overall Avg - 30.9 mph
Moving Avg - 51.6 mph
Max Speed - better not put that one ::) , but pretty good
Total Moving Time - 82hrs 46 mins

For the trip, I averaged around 38mpg, which is not bad running 70-75 mph with the tfi settings I have. Max I got on a tank was almost 43 mpg.

I think The Clampet Mobile got around 26 mpg most of the time...of course going down hill it did a lot better, lol.

Got home this morning. Only did 3,788 miles, I thought it would be more. Averaged 42 mpg for most of the trip. High was 50 going downwind and the low was 38 going into it. Saw every kind of weather imaginable. A 100 degree temperature shift, high to low and back. I was lucky enough to miss the hail and tornadoes. Everything else from clear, rain, snow, sleet, etc., I was in at one time or another. Had a lot of fun, looking forward to the next trip.

4,537 miles after taking the really long way home. About 3,000 of that on the the day long and it is truly butt nervana.

That's a lot of miles Charlie. Time for an oil change......

trosco · 06-27-2009, 10:20 PM

Better late than never??? Oils changed, broken hyper charger is fixed but the mistery of where both bolts holding down the rear of the fuel tank disapeared to is yet to be solved??? Left Jacksonville at 14,501 and rolled back in on 18,998 so total miles logged was 4,497 but about 350 of those were in and around Custer. Great ride, sorry we couldn't stay for the dinner but gettting back to Florida by Sunday evening meant leaving before Friday.

Yeah, espesially since after riding from Prescott to Vegas through the hell fires of Bullhead City, AZ the bike started making a klickity klick, the oil light came on when I hit Vegas and the cure was a quart of oil.

OMG! You went through Bullhead City in June? That's the most miserable place on earth in the summer. Wait...no, that would be Indio CA. I stand corrected - Bullhead City is the second most miserable place on earth in the summer.

Now THAT would have been good info to have BEFORE I fried my oil

My odometer got broke on the way back so somewhere 'round 3950 ???

And I'm sure the trip meter might have got reset to.
