Unexpectedly Great MPG and a GREAT Ride!

[fakebikerdude59]

Just got back from my weekly trip north for business. It's about 135 miles each way with freeway the whole trip. I took the Nomad this week to give it some sustained Highway miles. Since we got it on July 9, we've had one longer trip of about 400 miles and then lots of backroads touring around the area. Had put about 2400 miles on it doing that and was seeing about 33-40 MPG.

Coming back tonight, I was cruising between 60-70 MPH on the GPS depending on traffic flow on the freeway. For the trip home the Nomad got 46.47 MPG based on the GPS trip odometer and 48 MPG using the on-board trip odometer. Either way, I was very impressed. I know I could run faster, but that's a really comfortable speed especially after putting in a full day with a demanding client.

The Nomad continues to delight and amaze me.

During the last 20 miles, the weather was just right, traffic was light, I was locked in at 70MPH, sun was just going down, tunes playing in my helmet, cruising down the interstate, living in the USA with no one telling me what I have to do or be...heading home to a great gal...man, I was thinking I'm the luckiest SOB in the world...and to top it off, I'm on a Nomad!!!
