Excellent work! Looks like a full aero fairing is good for about a 20% fuel efficiency increase over a stock Ninja 250 with a tucked rider.

Vic, congratulations. It was great to meet up with you and Alan on your way out to Ohio. And yes, the rainstorm in Utah was a toad-choker. Hope to ride with you again one day.

Jeff.

Thanks you all for your congratulations, advice and support! Your support means a great deal to me and to large degree is the secret ingredient that powers any success I have achieved.
I'm very pleased with my results. Watching the celebrations of the Olympic champions gives me some perspective on the joy that comes after long hours of hard work, preparation, and intense concentration all coming to fruition with a successful result. Please share in my joy, you helped to make it happen.
Thank you, Vic

Vic, I'm thinking the lower speeds of the Ohio event are probably more real world, for more people that Craigs intended 70-75mph. The higher speeds will play for some but probably not most riders, most of the time.

What are your cross country mileage numbers? Daily commute numbers?
