Rode my blast last night

[wolfo68]

First off, I forgot how much fun I had on that little thing.
I was also getting just over 100mpg on my ride.

the one thing I didn't think I'd do on it was scrape the pegs but I did quite a few times, it was great.

Das Boot! Before you blow a good engine!
EZ

 

[wolfo68]

That was the first thing I did when I got it

 

[ezblast]

Blow the motor? That kind of mileage means it is too lean!
EZ

 

[wolfo68]

no, upgraded the boot.
that's what I calculated off of the trip but I was getting about 60 on my ride back home the next day.
So I'm assuming someone forgot to hit the reset and filled up with 30 miles or so on it.

LOL- Were you coasting your bike down Pike's Peak? Seriously, you might get 60 mpg if you are on flat ground doing 55-60 mph over a long haul.

 

[wolfo68]

I don't usually get less than 50 unless I'm in town stuck in traffic.

 

[jetlee]

If I get 40 in-town, I'm ecstatic. In-town I average 30-35. Work commute gets 35-40. All highway gets about 50.

Hope you're not lean.

 

[wolfo68]

you must ride way harsher than I do, I beat the crap out of my xb's and still get 40 min. my blast never gets worse than them even if I gun it everywhere.

 

[blastman]

I haven't tried calculate my MPGs yet, but 100 MPG is inspiring. Beats my truck any day.

 

[wolfo68]

I've heard of others getting 80 regularly, but I thought it was a pretty far fetched idea. only one I had that really had amazing gas mileage was a little 200cc that I bought back in 08

LOL - Harsh is an understatement. With the extent of mods I have and am doing, I don't expect good mileage. I ride for fun, not the mileage. As long as I'm not spending $50/wk like my car, I'm happy.
