Title: 580 miles yesterday to try out my new mods
Post by: plumbertom on April 11, 2010, 01:39:02 PM

Did you know that there is a rail line from LA through Death Valley and back to LA that is for the exclusive use of motorcycles?
At least that's the way it seemed riding my SuperGlide with the Sputhe chassis stabilizers on it.
You couldn't ask for better performance from my new T-max. at the fuel stop in baker I calculated my mileage at just over 45 MPG, that's cruising at 70-75 or better and the power curve is way improved.
this was my route;

Sorry, some type of error on the links. I think I corrected them.
