After 25 years, Craig Vetter is hosting two new fuel economy Challenges:

May 13, 2011 at the Quail Motorcycle Gathering, Carmel, CA
July 22, 2011 at AMA's Vintage Days, Mid Ohio Raceway, Lexington, OH

The idea is to challenge Vetter and his Streamliner in real conditions, at posted road speeds. Riders will be grouped between Vetter out front who will be setting the pace and a "Follower." You must be able to accelerate and ride the speed Vetter sets - which will be normal riding. However, if you drop behind the Follower, you drop out of the Challenge.

Both events will be 100 mile rides in the local countryside. Unique to the Vetter events is that the bikes must be able to carry a useful load: four bags of groceries, to be specific.
