      Don't be alarmed when your only getting 35-40mpg... I have mine jetted on the rich side and that's what I typically get. 1.2L for ya. hahaha

          Hey, Sam, Good to see you are getting out some anyway. The snow piles show that it wasnt anywhere near warm.

          One pic the road looks colored white with salt residue. That would be when I say "May not be too cold to ride, but is too cold to wash bike when get back." (so I most likley dont ride).

          .

            I'd be fine with 35. 20 is not good.

                  Did you check for sticking brakes or something?

                    Yep. Brakes were just bled. New pads on the rear, all set right.

                    It's getting 26 mpg. I decided to check to be sure exactly. It's way rich.

                          Weather is NOT holding out in the state north of ya Sam...
                          Still managed to make it out and get this awesome view. Ice is starting to take hold of the lake, everything white and clean, the mountains are absolutely stunning right now. Why I live in Vermont... I absolutely love it here, all year round.
