Checked my Honda CTX, standard shift, against a GPS yesterday on a 94 mile trip. Going to keep comparing for a while to check the variance of my figures, but it looks like the odometer error, at least on my bike at this level of tire wear on these Bridgestones, is more like 2.5%. So assuming 2% error wasn't too far off the mark and my fuelly numbers aren't too wacked!
Went to the Experienced Motorcycle safety course in Murfreesboro, TN @ Blackman High School. To my surprise, no one laughed at my big, ugly tool box strapped to my seat; at least they didn't laugh out loud in front of me. A few of the guys even complimented me on my creative thinking.
