As they say in England: My bike is "bog standard" as far as the power train is concerned.
I have increased the weight and ruined the aerodynamics by adding chunks of chrome and leather
so, theoretically, she should use more fuel.
I drive 2 times 30 Km per day, to work, and I hardly ever go on the motorway.
If I do, I use more juice.
I cruise, I don't race.
I time my gear changes so that when I change to 5th I am at speed limit with the same revs in each gear.
Except for the 50 Km/H limit, where I aim at 4th gear.
( It's a way of passing the time ¦¬} )
I accelerate fast enough to leave all traffic behind me.
I love the "thumper" noise when accelerating!!
What more can I say?
I drive until I have to switch to reserve and then go tank.
Normally it's 200+ Km and about 8.5 Liters of 95 octane leadless.
I could keep on waffelling all day, but I think I'll stop and go out for a ride.
It's stopped snowing!
Or perhaps I should do some work.
After all, I am being paid for this!!!!!
BIG GRIN!
KTRSD, y'all
