I took a few days off from work and went camping. This was on my fav river rd testing grounds as well. I rode the Cd'A river Rd again. This time with my brand new tires, breaking them in and trying them out. I installed a Conti-Motion on the F-120/70/17 and and nice Shinko SR741 on the R-150/70/17. I also had my camping clothes/gear loaded in my 46L top box for this trip.



I figured i'd gain a little with the taller rear tire and then lose a little with the big 46L top box and it might be a wash, i guess not. So far i've clocked 99 mpg, 98 mpg and now a respectable 94 mpg! This also included a long full throttle pass to get around a land Yacht pulling a 30' travel trailer and a 3 mile side road trip. So, pretty good mpg. I'm happy with it! :{)
