Mid Ohio, it turns out, is a great Challenge location. First... it is the site of the AMA's Vintage Days, July 20-21, which is America's greatest motorcycle swap meet! Second, the ride is more gentle and warmer than California or Nevada. Ohio speed limit is slower. The hills and winds are not so extreme. In the west, my streamlined Helix gets in the 80s-90s mpg. In Ohio, the streamliners, including mine, got over 100 mpg. The Mid Ohio Challenge is a great place to see what fuel economy in real conditions is all about. A bonus is that you can actually meet the legends like Charly Perethian and Fred Hayes.
