Road my new 05 Sprint (left over) out to VMD at Mid Ohio last weekend great time was had by all. Gary Nixon got out on a new Triumph for one of the races and was hanging out in the pits telling stories all day Saturday. Went to MC hall of fame for the opening of the Dick Mann exhibit and Dick regaled us with stories. Vintage flat track was also a hoot.
This was my first trip to VMD and was well worth it. I'm putting it on my schedule.
Trip computer is neet
Here's some trip stats
rolling avg speed for trip 60mph
saddle time 21+ hrs
trip length 1250
Fuel economy 50 mpg
top speed achieved 140.3 up hill fully laden with bags and still pulling but traffic approaching rapidly.
550 miles Thursday ( all slab) and my butt was a little sore but I think a sheep skin would help to get air circulation where the air don't flow. It was a hot day! My buddies on a K1200R and HD were also a bit uncomfortable. Trip home we took some of our favorite twisties across Pa. The Sprint was a joy to ride.
