First 100+ Miles, First Trip to the Gas Station

thepaintbox · 05-19-2009, 02:23 PM

Today I felt the sputter as my bike dwindled down to reserves for the first time in my hands, and took it to the gas station. It seems I'm getting just over 50 to the gallon (150ish miles and 2.8 gallons to refill). It's not very god, but there are factors. The bike needs new tires, the bike wasn't run for 3 months before I bought it, these 150 miles were my first 150 miles of motorcycle riding (and manual transmission) ever, half the gas was probably pretty old (it was topped of when it was sold to me).

That said, she's been running wonderfully. Terrible good fun.
