Its Lonely at the Top

I was suprised to see that I had moved up to the top spot for the Motorcycles % over EPA top 10 list. Now that I'm retired I have been riding my motorcycle more often and recently rebuilt my carburetors after 26 years of happy ownership. My last tankfill was near my allbest best at 59.55 mpg. I started doing a little EOC but mostly I just watch my speed, shift at lower RPMs, avoid stops and idling, and bump up the tire pressure to 40 psi.
I'm intrigued by streamlined fairings like the Criag Vetter project and may play around with fabbing something up.
For now I'm shooting for some 60 mpg tanks with minimal mods and good technique.
Ride safe, L&S
