I've posted on the Facebook page, so they should all know I'm coming, but I don't really think I'm going to pull some crazy upset this year. So far my best test tank came to 118 mpg, and I am at the limit on gearing. I'm looking into a taller 6th gear for next year. Just getting to ride with these guys is awesome. I feel lucky to be included in the conversation at all.
That little Yamaha could have done so much more if it hadn't been over 30 years old. The next year after my 4th place finish, the engine gave up the ghost. I really wish I could find a liquid cooled 150 with a 5speed to build around. That might finally put me in the winners circle.
