Surprized

Wow, okay did a trip up to Mt. St. Helens which for the most part is a 200 mile round trip. Had a great time and kept a better than average pace, as I found myself running up the Rs in 4th a lot. but this time I found myself needing to head up to Tacoma afterwards which added in extra mileage, so when I saw that the fuel gauge needle was getting down on the low side thought might as well fill her up at this one stop, only to find out she only took 3.1 gallons I had traveled 177 miles at that point. Hmm, did the math, thats 57 MPG. Not to bad I say.

Oh, One cool shot I found interesting as the clouds where very low which found me zipping through em, almost errrie

 

That picture looks very similar to something I'd see on the Blue Ridge Parkway, here in the east.
I've seen 57+ mpg on my ACE, but never on my VFR. You must be doing something right.

 

Yeah, at 57mpg you weren't "zipping". WOW.

Nice shot BTW.

 

Yea, well, go check for yourself I wasn't putting around thats for sure. For your viewing pleasure, one of the guys on a CBR XX did a video of us coming out or down off the mountain. keep an eye out on his speed-O

dude, you always post the best pictures! Thanks. They are so clear and large.

Forgive my ignorance..... but how are you compressing them without losing size or quality?

 

RVFR shuts it off coming down hill?
The gas station's pump is not calibrated?
math is hard?
the clouds had magic mileage dust in them?

Nice pictures. I'm glad you had a nice ride.

 

I think it's the magic cloud dust. That'll do it every time.ound:

 

Why do birds suddenly appear, :angel:
Every time RVFR is near?

:lalala:

 

Thanks for the comps, Mmm, photo is taken, thou I use a Fuji 6500 camera, then load it up via photo bucket, then it's a cut and paste thing.

here's another angle of the same area




LOL Birds? LOL

 

flippin' the bird

not the kind of bird with the finger extended... although that may apply at times to RVFR.... I have no experience to think that it does.

It's a Carpenters song reference... think Burt Bacharach here's the lyrics...

Crazy, ok got it.... :rofl:

 

Looked fun, been there had fun on that, also nice group of riders, thats great.


But, man that video showed a lot of bad body positioning on riders

Got to move around & 1 guy kept leaning his head opposite of the bike lean in the turns & also saw no-one leaning there head & uper body toward the direction of the bikes in the turns, I know I'm picky, but not asking street riders to get there knees out & draging them, but just pointing out what makes a bike ride easier, safer, & faster.

Did look like a boat :fish2: load of fun, with good camera work !



yea my other nickname is "AS5HOLE"

 

I want to ride with Taz so he can tell me how to ride better too. We could call it a Fun Ride, where Taz and the other experts help us do better. We'll call it "Fried" for short.

:wink:

 

:lol: I "did say it looked fun":tongue: & I am an AS5HOLE :wink:

just pointing out some helpful tips, I want to be better, & never turn down advice, I guess thats just the experiance & instructor in me to try & help :redface: :biggrin:


Hope to see you all out here @ MMP for R2SL (Racing 2 save lives, a fund raising track day's, 4 day's in a row) in '08 to have REAL FUN ! :smile:

 

looks like a great time. I never ride with other people. You guys make it look so easy. Charish those memories .

 

Taz you crack me up... actually some did do better body work, was also kinda wild weird with the weather so wasn't a normal ride of sorts we're actually faster then this LOL funny you caught that, I'm always seeing that then give out pointers in, "did you know by doing XXX"...... so I know whats ya mean, but not sure I'm an asshat..

 

What kind of camera system did he have?

 

via PM I heard he has three cameras remote from the camcorder that does the recording that he switches through a video switch in his tank bag to record on tape if I recall correctly. He switches shots while riding, vice recording all three and editing later.

yeah, pretty sweet, :biggrin: but I'd prefer not to see how poorly I ride from three different perspectives...:frown: Taz would spend all his free time "helping" me :blah: and then boom, he's out of a job all because I got a fancy camera system.
