Went up Highway 20 to 53rd and over to Harrison where I went out to Oak Creek Research Station and back. Went back along Harrison to 9th and then to Samantha’s.
15 miles total. Rode alone.
Lewisburg Saddle past the garbage dump and back again
After the oil change where I drained out the seafoam and replaced the filter, it was time for a test ride. First stop was at the gas station to get some gas. I put in 1.967 gallons on 80.4 miles driven. That worked out to about 40mpg which is not bad considering all of the riding I did in 1st gear at very high RPM in Walla Walla and the long session of parking lot riding to break the clutch loose.
From difficulties on a previous ride finding a paved connector between the Camp Adair Road and the Kings Valley Highway, I decided to try and find a route from the other direction. No such route presented itself. After a few miles, Tampico Road turns into gravel. I turned around at this point and headed back out to 99W and back to Corvallis.
The bike ran like an absolute dream. It shifted very well, was responsive, and handled quite admirably.
My odometer read 36 miles for the ride.
