The owner called me yesterday morning and told me the bike was available. Ran to the bank, hit the Scotland Neck Ferry and landed at Surry right at noon yesterday. Drove my truck from there to Aiken SC, about 420 miles, paid for the bike and loaded it in the truck and left right at 8:45 PM. Averaged 20 MPG the whole trip 850 miles on 43 gallons of fuel. NO hypermiling techniques just 85% 70 MPH Interstate and US 40 from Spring Grove to I95 and back the same way.

I really didn't think I still had it in me at close to 61 but hey, new toys have a way of doing that to you.

Going back to sleep for a while.
