XTreme Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Brilliant Eric! How high were the temps? And the decor in that motel was something else wasn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Although fast isn’t really my thing, those deserted straights really have some attraction to them, the pull of the desert and all that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Room looked like someone puked on the walls. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put £21 of fuel into mine yesterday, that's a record amount for a bike of mine. I'd done about 180 miles since the previous fill up. In my early riding days I used to keep a £5 note under the seat so if I was ever potless far from home I'd be able to buy enough fuel to get back. That wouldn't get me to work one way nowadays. I moved my display about to get the things I wanted on my main display, which in my case was trip 1, engine temp and outside temp on screen 1, with trip 2, mpg average and current on screen 2. When I changed the battery the other day I was afraid it would all reset back to how it was, but it stayed the same, just zeroed all the trips, clock etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 200 miles, with luggage, cruising in the real world at 90/100mph is not bad at all for the fuel capacity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earache Posted June 1, 2021 Author Share Posted June 1, 2021 Gotta love Cali for fuel prices. Almost double what it is back home. Their taxes make for high prices. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earache Posted June 1, 2021 Author Share Posted June 1, 2021 .Slept overnight at a really nice hotel in downtown San Francisco courtesy of my wife's company. Best hotel of the trip. They opened up a locked bar area and let us grab what we wanted. Bar and restaurant still closed due to Covid. Up the next day and headed north. Passed some little red bridge.... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 If you are going to post a bridge picture in a ride report, post that Bridge! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earache Posted June 1, 2021 Author Share Posted June 1, 2021 After SFO, we're on the coastal road leading to northern Cali. The temps dropped dramatically and there's a constant on shore sea breeze mixed with bright sun. Hard to beat the weather.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
