    According to what Brent said above he gets 50 mpg
    My mileage is similar
    I Usually seem to get around 40mpg on o2 harley Road King, 35 on one tankful cruising at 84mph on the trip up. After new wire to fuel injector was installed, riding at moderate steady speeds on back roads, I got 50 mpg.
    I was impressed, and quite pleased to have more fuel left in tank when we stopped at the station with long broken pumps still several miles from gas.
    It is a great big beautiful world out there

        Vice Presidents Brent and Ben

        I believe that Brent and Ben have stepped up to disorganize this rally.
        Personally I like the run where we are not lost just going in the wrong direction temporarily and nearly running out of fuel rally.
        Sounds like fun.

            Hi BDF,
            Having been on a few I can say YES they are fun....unless you actually run out of gas
            I have stated before . I will follow Brent anywhere
            I too thought VA was well underway though not confirmed a yet.
            SE Ohio is in second place and if all else fails we can go to West Virginia

              So when do we get to go down to impose on Brent and Ben's hospitality?
              I'll bet they have some great routes. BDF

                  Hi Marty,
                  I am working on it. All I need is running XS and all it needs is a set of coils (I think)

                      I really enjoyed the last one!
                      Would like to see the same XS's again, if not more of them.
                      Keep me posted would you.

                          Ralph,

                          Like it or not, it appears you are in a position of leadership here. Do with it as you will.

                            Just let me know if you are going for a ride somewhere. I'd like to tag along if I can. I do get ants in my pants when I'm able to do a trip!

                              That would bite if in fact true Ralph. Let's hope it's not. Maybe someone a little further south will step up and run with this.

                                I find some years you are correct before that years rally is over everybody needs to know where they are going next before it gets there. Then some years, it takes the winter to stir things up.

                                I'm still waiting for someone to figure out where we are going for the Canadain XS rally.
