Club breakfast and the long way home

Gas at 65,384 – E0 90, 4.343 gal @ $3.899 = $16.93. 151.6 miles/4.343 g = 34.9 mpg.

End at 65,404 (79 miles)

Local club (RBMWR) breakfast this morning. Great weather, good turnout—had to be 20 or more bikes. Took the long way home via King William to use an E0 pump I found. I must be running my bike on reserve, because I put 4.34 gallons in the 4.5-gallon tank (18 liters) and it never sputtered. Need to put a stop to that habit.

Bike ran great, a little hard to start but not bad. Kind of chilly this morning, in the upper 40s. No issues running at 55-60 for long periods of time.

I thought the frayed wires at the top of the left control cluster might have something to do with the bike only starting in neutral. George confirmed those wires go to the clutch switch—so when they break, that’s a (safety) feature, not a bug. Nothing to worry about unless I want to start the bike in gear.
