Well ... this will be different ...

Last fall wife and I rented a cabin in the NC mountains. Towed my Suzuki cruiser (a step down from my 1800, done awhile ago) and her 1800 trike. My back had been acting up substantially before we left and continued while at the cabin. I was having a really tough time getting my leg over the seat of the Suzuki which isn't all that high to begin with. I was fine once I was aboard but getting on was tough. I was moving my wife trike one day while up there and didn't have any difficulty mounting it because the floorboard allowed me to step up and then simply step over the seat, hmmmmmm.

Anyway I took it as a warning and a solution. Long story short I put a down payment on a 2022 Spyder RT Limited to be delivered some time in the future, supply chain problems don't you know.

We replaced our '06 GL1800 with a 2021 RTL last Spring.

Had a nice ride on the Himalayan. Lots of issues to consider and solutions needed; however, fuel economy was on my list for today. Did the Renfrew Loop, a 300 Km ride. Varying road conditions and kept the maximum speed to around 90 KPH. Did some 256 Kms, using 7.725 litres. This works out to 33 KPL, 93 MPG Imperial, 73 MPG US. Suitably impressed. Had the Mrs check my math, she used a conversion program, I did it the hard way using a calculator and going from metric to imperial/US. My '85 Gold Wing gets a consistent 49 MPG Imperial on the highway, less when doing city/highway driving.
