This evening I took the motorcycle out for a quick blast around Lewisburg Saddle and Kings Valley. It was nice to be out and riding. I scraped my pegs a couple of times on some tight corners at high speeds. 🙂
Total distance: about 50 miles.
Also should note I put my ADV sticker on the back of my motorcycle 🙂
Gas purchase: 2.08 gallons @93.4 miles for 44.9 mpg (probably low because of going up Mary’s Peak and carrying Emily as a passenger).
This afternoon I went on a quick 50 mile jaunt over some of my favorite close back roads. To get between two of the roads I took about a 4 mile stretch of gravel, compacted mud, and dirt. The bike was a little squirrely in the front end but did fine overall. It’s pretty fun having mud streaks down the side of a street bike!
I took a long ride around the valley yesterday on some interesting and stunningly beautiful roads. The country around Perrydale in particular is gorgeous this time of year.
In total I road about 125 miles. I also stopped and got some gas. My fuel economy was 45.5 mpg. Not too surprising considering the fun I’ve been having lately.
