Anyway, glad you like the new tire!

My daily travel is sooooo predictable. Boring, boring boring. Being on a get out of debt plan makes life nothing more than work and home, work and home, work and home... I do practice my slow speed maneuvers 3 times a week for 15 to 20 minutes as MC skills are very very important to me. Any small trips I have had to take I removed from my list of mpg averages for this post.
Two more years and I will finally get to have fun again.

Living in Wyoming whrer the wind blows most of the time I can tell you that my nomad mpg will change well over 4mpg heading into the wind compaired to having a tail wind. I never much paid att. to gas milage other than full or need to stop. 2 wheels down to all.

I am now 3 more fill-ups in and my milage is up about 4 mpgs. I am still only going to work and back. I think this new tire forced me to not lug the engine. At the speed limit, the engine is noticeably faster, but only by a little bit. The last two tanks I started riding just a little bit more aggressive, and they show the most improvement. I think I was trying to baby it soooo much for milage that I was doing more harm then good.

Not sure on the CT and fuel mileage as I dont have one on the bike yet. What is this speedo healer your talking about, and where do you get something like that?
