         Not that it's legal, but you can cruise stretches of the American interstates out west here at 100 mph all day long and not see squat for traffic. Very little police prescence on these highways for reasons unknown to me. If you slow down when you see signs noting construction areas you will very rarely get into trouble. And if you in a car when it's like 120 degrees outside, fughedaboutit. Ain't no cop gonna get out of his cruiser when it's that hot outside.

...or even around here, that road from Amboy to Goffs on the old 66 has been my personal favorite for many years. Two Niner to Amboy is a hoot too. Except for the River Run your mostly all by yourself and can ride on either side of the road. The only time it hurts is when you have to top it off at Goffs and pay a buck more per gallon, but thats the price you pay for WOT. :2vrolijk_21: Doc

Nearly all my riding in the states was in Lower Alabama and Flora-bama and I never made any farther west than Mobile.  Too much traffic and too many cops to go WOT for very long.  Plus, I only had 750cc Honda Shadow that vibrated so bad over 90 I wasn't sure it would up over 100, but that didn't stop me from doing it every now and then. 

May find myself at Fort Irwin in a couple of years and I look forward to riding those never ending highways out in the middle of no where.

Best so far is just a shade over 40 mpg..mixed driving, some highway, some back roads. Completely stock with 1100 miles. For comparison, '93 FLSTN: 50 mpg was pretty easy to get, '95 FLHRI with 95" kit, stock cams: 42-45 mpg.

Yea, parted company with it a year ago. Lot more power with the 110 CVO, but I always liked the feel of that old EVO ( no mods except rejet the carb, air filter and exhaust ) and tons of low end torque. Had it 18+ years, 70,000 miles.

Guess you got a great price for it since they always were 'collectable' with the limited production and appeal.  :) spyder

Checked my 08 springer's MPG over 10 tank fill ups. Bike is stock except has V&H 2-2 big radius pipes, SERT and dyne tuned at stealer. Averaged approx. 49 MPG not distinguishing between city & highway. Analog oil temp dip stick reads 210-215 degrees after riding 70-75 MPH on highway for any length of time with ambient air temps in the upper 90's.  I'm pretty happy with that I guess, compared to some of the heat issues some of you bagger's have reported here.

The sesg3 sure does a whole lot better if I keep it under 75.   I'm averaging between 35-40 mpg.   I do notice the drop when I am hauling A$$.  I am very happy with this bike so far.   My new voltage reg sure helps    :)

yep, I've noticed the same increase in mileage with the use of all gasoline and even some of the stations that are selling it are charging more due to the better mileage (that's their story anyway).  Reckon with the drought and resulting corn loss, they'll re-think this stupid idea?  :-[ spyder

Maybe that explains why I have yet to see 40 on the SEUC.  38 has been tops, so far.  Ripping it up on Saturday, it only dropped to 35, though, so that's good.  Same riding with the ol' SEEG only delivered 32.
