So, I hit 98 miles and the fuel meter read "E"... I didn't want to have to push it anywhere so I stopped and filled her up. Ignore the bird poop on the bottom of the picture of the odometer.
Stupid bird.
It took a gallon and there was still gas in the tank. On the next fill up I'll know exactly what I'm doing per gallon. Just as an FYI, I'm pretty much always all on or all off the throttle. 55 is pretty easy to hit now without tucking, even will accelerate on an upward grade. I rode on flat ground at 60 for several miles straight, felt fine! Had to raise the butt up on a few bumps, though.
Today's trip was to the office. I normally work out of the house, sitting in my recliner with my computer hooked up to my giant TV. I had to run to one of the offices to let the LAN run some software, so I figured that if I was going to take a 35 mile (each way) trip, might as well be on the GROM! The truck gets 15 to 17 mpg, so it was pretty easy to decide to take the bike. The truck is faster, I can take the highway. If I could get 10mph more out of this thing I would be okay with highway riding. Speed limit is 65 on the roads I would take to get to the office.
