Is that a RCAF T-6 Texan in the hangar?
Semantics.Very close! It’s a Harvard.View attachment 67198
72 MPH for 50 miles drafting behind a LEO vehicle (Crown Vic, Taurus, Charger, Explorer, Durango, Tahoe) should have yielded you about 49.8 MPG!Found out that the bike gets really good gas mileage.
Stuck behind a Highway Patrol Trooper for over 50 miles today. 72 mph feels like molasses. Picked him up just outside Vegas and he went the whole dang way to Alamo before pulling someone over. Then on my way back I knew he was fishing so had to stay "sane mph" till I found him. Added almost an hour to the trip.
Spent some time lane splitting when Vegas pd pulled me over and informed me there was something wrong with because I was lane splitting. After which I informed him are you a rider? Enough said. This was 2 years ago.Found out that the bike gets really good gas mileage.

I carry mine in a ziplock bag in my jacket pocket. This way I always have it with me.Looks excellent. Very nice additions. I like the cargo nets and the visor organizer. I’ve been trying to think of a good place to keep my registration/insurance paperwork. I do remove my panniers sometimes. Right now I am carrying them in my wallet which I don’t like either.
Damn close. 52.something the few times I looked down at it!72 MPH for 50 miles drafting behind a LEO vehicle (Crown Vic, Taurus, Charger, Explorer, Durango, Tahoe) should have yielded you about 49.8 MPG!
Over the past year (bought my bike one year ago today) 36 MPG over the 16,000 miles. I spend most of my time in the 85-90mph range.I have gotten good milage. In the 50 s. Then I just started enjoying my machine. Milage went to around 42 - 45 mpg. I look at it this way. The little gas savings is a false sense of economy. Taking it easy on these engines can lead to carbon buildup.
Besides, fun is fun and slow is usually not as fun.
Did you remove the OEM decals on the tank before installing the Tank Pads? Have same bike and same pads (enroute).
Did a well needed cleaning and installed some tank pads, engine/diff oil change and tires. Tomorrow it gets a new battery and then it's ready for a new season.
Not that you're talking to me but I just cleaned with alcohol and stuck my tank pads. I don't think there's a need to remove the decals!Did you remove the OEM decals on the tank before installing the Tank Pads? Have same bike and same pads (enroute).
