    Re: Where did you ride today?

    Rode to Boston today to get some eclairs from Mike's on Hanover St. crazy mad downtown, tourists just walk out in the street without looking, i have some horns from a famous Italian maker of cars installed in the bike which made quite an impression on them, lol.
    ON the ride in i was behind an SUV in the left lane that was intent on staying there so i went around, in the drivers seat was a cute girl with both legs on the dash while she practicing her oral skills on a popsicle,, the shit you see on the road nowadays.

    Put 90-something miles on the DR790 in sumo guise this afternoon to go grab a photo tag on ADV.
    Went with a Memorial Day theme for the new tag

    Re: Where did you ride today?

    Not today but yesterday did the southern end of DDR, including the expert section...which was tough! The 890R got through unscathed and relatively drama free, while my buddy on a 1290 struggled pretty good and broke a few parts. Then decided to forego the admittedly small bike only roads we planned on and hit the NEBDR instead, getting to the top of Raycroft Lookout in Florida MA.

    BTW the 890R is a fuckin rockstar. It's SO much easier to ride gnarly stuff than my 1290 was.

    Re: Where did you ride today?

    Among other things we decided to take a spin up north of Plymouth (NH) via backroads to hit one of a few lunch spots we like up there. We didn't know two of them aren't open on Sunday. The third place was WAY too packed, so we headed back south and grabbed some vittles at Tilton Diner. It was a short trip - only about 150 miles for the day, but the weather was incredible. We were far enough inland & north so that humidity had absolutely no bearing on the heat. My bike's infotainment system was reading 90 degrees even in Plymouth. Again, next to no humidity though. I'll take that every day of the week!

    Doesn't that always make you go Why would a popular lunch place close on a Sat/Sun?!?

    I get closing Mon-Tues, but the weekend? A sunny holiday weekend, at that...

    It's really not all that uncommon that far north. There's even a couple places more local to me that are closed Sundays now too. Small towns, not a lot of traffic, staffing issues, blah-blah-blah. It sometimes changes once certain seasons pick up.

    Rode the 100 mpg commute scoot to work today
    Where did you ride today?-img_8075-jpg
    108 miles on the trip meter, 1.07 gallons to fill.
    Usually I get a little closer to 115 mpg, must be the winter gas still in it

    I used to get 100+mpg with my K-pipe routinely before I evaporated the oil in the original 125cc, now, with 190cc, it's a gas pig, 65mpg at best, only 40mpg on my ride up & down Mt. washington

    Re: Where did you ride today?

    About 11-14 miles, 20-25 minutes, depending on which route I take. Backroads with 25-45mph speed limits.

    It’s a Monkey 125, basically a Grom in retro styling. >100mpg is pretty standard for these 125’s

    Re: Where did you ride today?

    I'm fresh off of four days of riding at Palmer. Three regular TTD days and one Non-Sportbike day... FAAAAANTASTIC weather! Holy crap! And SO few tip-overs... everyone had a great time.

    Back in the home office today but I think I might go ride Hodges this afternoon when I call it quits.

    Yeah, I know what they are. Just floored at the MPG! I was more curious about the commuting distance & speed and things like that.

    They look fun as shit! Unfortunately I don't think it'd work for my application. How's the fit on you?

    On the Guzzi yesterday for 170 miles, back roads and small towns outside of 495. (Inside 495, much less fun.)

    I think I've been averaging 66mpg in my z125. Is there really that big of a MPG disparity between the two 125s or am I just riding the snot out of mine...yeah probably riding the snot out of mine...

    How big is your tank, my K-Pipe is 1.1gallons. When my fuel gauge is down (from 5 bars) to one bar flashing, it takes 0.77± gallons to fill, ever since I replaced the original blown 125cc with the 190cc, my fuel economy sucks, I'm filling up every 50 miles

    I had a Z125 a couple years ago, I think I got about 90mpg with it.
    I had an OG Grom before that with intake/exhaust/PC, it got around 100mpg i think on Premium.

    The Monkey is stock engine and had a 1.5 gallon tank. Seems like the last bar starts flashing at around 0.5 gallons left (PO installed an aftermarket speedometer though). Yesterday I filled up at 107 miles and put in 1.00 gallons.

    depending the speeds, i get 100 MPG on my Grom. if i'm in the country roads with it redlined in final gear the entire time, i'll still get about 80 MPG
