Rode out to eastern Ohio today and in the process set three new records for me and the CB. First tank it still hadn't started started flashing reserve at 142 miles when I stopped for gas. 142 miles took 2.5 gal to fill for 56.8 mpg
On the next tank it went on flashing reserve at 146 miles. I stopped for gas at 171.4 miles and it took 3.1 for 55 mpg.
Record 1 Best gas mileage 56.8 mpg
Record 2 Most miles before hitting reserve 146
Record 3 Most miles on a tank 171.4
BTW turned over 2,100 miles on todays ride.
Oh and one of the gas stops a guy was admiring the bike as I came out of the station. Said my bike was running hot cause the pipes were turning red. I told him about the stainless steel but I don't think it sunk in. Said I should be running 20w50 oil cause it needed thicker viscosity when it's hot. Lol. He was 69 and said he put 100,000 miles on a Honda Pacific Coast before he gave up riding at 63 because car drivers are crazy these days. What a hoot.
