Whats up boys! New to the addicts. I wanna get my posts up. I hate having my learners permit. Anyway, with rising gas prices...how are you riding your bike lately? I find myself shifting around 5k to keep the revs low to conserve gas...especially the highway.

Well I don't really pay too much attention whether or not to ride the revs low....when Im in the mood to go I will give it throttle...other times I find myself shifting at 3 or even 4 thousand

I had recently changed my gearing to 16/40 (-1/+2), I'm thinking of running 17/40 now (had done previously).

Even with a GPI I still try for 7th on the open road.

Nothing like feeding a big twin, still, it sips or gulps depending how the articulated infinite throttle adjustment mechanism is utilized.
