This morning I went for a short ride just to say I went on a ride in 13 degree weather. It was all of 7 mile. I used it as an excuse to fill the bike with gas. It took about three minutes of cranking to get the thing fired up. At the gas stop I put in 3.132 gallons at 159.2 miles. That ends up being 50.83 mpg. Not too bad considering all of the freeway driving and romping on the throttle.
Even with only 7 miles my hands were still VERY cold when I got back. Not as bad as on Sunday when I couldn’t feel my feet for an hour but still uncomfortable.
Hi,
I found your blog just Googling “Honda PC800” Congrats on your recent purchase. As an engineer, you’re going to love this bike. It has quite a following. This past June I bought a ’94 PC800 (like you, I also owned an VT700C, mine was an ’85). By all means, do yourself a big favor and get plugged in with the PC800 Yahoo! Group here https://groups.io/g/ipcrc It’s an treasure trove of resources and tips.
Anyway, I hope you’re enjoying the bike.
Nice site!
Best regards,

Hey Anthony,
Yeah I’m on the list. I’m the guy asking all the dumb questions about electrical systems, things to do with the tupperwear off, voltage indicators, etc. It’s a great resource! Hopefully I can meet up with some of the PC800 rides next season once things thaw out a bit.
