I have been making slow progress on the Honda VT500. I have mounted a new unertray and am working on the ducting to the radiator. There is a lot of work to do and I will be clearing lots of stuff out of the garage for the winter to keep the progress going.
I have also put the Suzuki GS500 back together and went for a 313km ride averaging around 60mph and got 78.4mpg [196miles/2.5gal] I did some engine off coasting down hills using the engine kill switch on the handle bars. With the clutch pulled in coasting down hill the first thing i notice is that motorcycles don't coast that well when compaired to cars. rear wheel sprocket still drives the transmission and the aero drag is still comparitevely high.
