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.
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.

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!
Did you grit your teeth and try to look like Clint Fuckin' Eastwood?
Or did you lisp it all hangfisted like a fuckin' flower?

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
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.

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.

I miss my old 1980 CM200T. That little bike could push 150 MPG, but also couldn't crack 60mph without a draft so...
hit Wrentham SF on Sat, conditions were great. wasn't sure how bad flooding would be with the heavy rains but only puddles and some grease.
