Hi Guys, Fred Hayes did 128mpg on his diesel MC. It was definitely the day for the diesels.
I didn't stay for the 4 grocery bag test which actuallly my bike would have been able to hold ( large tankbag, saddlebags and large tailsection). Apparently Fred had some type of hanging bags that did hold the 4 grocery bags. His fuel tank was tiny , probably no more than 2 gallons capacity.
I may have gotten better mileage if the course really was 133 miles as I went the full distance but my odometer only indicated 126.2 with a few miles in addition to the course. I need to check the accuracy of my odometer.
For next year, I need to close up the gap between me and the tailsection, fair in my front wheel and install a longer, taller windscreen. Alan Smith lives fairly close by so I may pick his brain on how he did fender, windscreen and tailsection. My seat is pretty tall and I can lower myself a couple of inches with a thinner pad.
