Update - have 5,600 miles on our road trip with the D&Ds.  They are awesome.  So very glad I chose to go with them.  No offense to the other very good choices, but for performance with reasonable sound (sounds good but not way, way loud) these are the best I've seen.  As you can tell, I REALLY like them.

Great report Jerry on the tune, the pipes, the AC and your enjoyment of all that and the scenery you are seeing while doing it.  Glad you got to ride in our back yard.  Of course we were on our way to BC when you went by, but I saw your post that you were just there too.  Isn't it gorgeous.  Catch you and HD on the road.

You're on to something.  Rode the BRP today from Roanoke (gassed up there) to I-64 to Charlottesville - 147 miles, all but about 20 on the BRP running 40 to 45 and maybe 50 at times.  Filled up at Charlottesville and mpg was 44 - awesome!

How do you know what milage your running.  Do you have a guage or what?

Reset trip meter at fillups. Next time you fill up divide miles travelled by gallons you put in to fill back up will give you Miles Per Gallon (MPG's). To be as accurate as you can always try to fill up to the same mark on bike. I sit bike up straight and fill up to just below the neck of the tank where the nozzle goes in. My recent trip I had tanks where I got 49 MPG to 37 MPG. Lot of truth to what has been said about going over 60 mph burns more gas.

You could lose your HBRR credentials for putting around like that.
Silly Eagle Rider, putting is for the golf course.

Jamey we were on a US highway that had a speed limit of 50 - 60, and the riders I was with were in no hurry so we took our time. I was really amazed when I filled up and saw those MPG's. Normal for me is 35 - 40 MPG.

That's easy for you guys to say bloody European Union, everything is in chuffing litres yet I was brought up miles and gallons.  Must remember to add the calculator the next time out, with the waterproofs, the T shirt, the tool kit, the picnic, the wifes hair brush, oh yes and the kitchen sink

Guys, gas is expensive up here in Canada where we've been riding.  Paying between about $1.20 and up to as high as $1.47 Canadian per liter.  That equates to about $4.25 to $5.25 per gallon in U.S. dollars.  Guess I can't squak at premium for $3.25 per gallon back home.  Looks cheap in comparison.
