The R was awesome! Cruising comfortably at 75-80 as strong as well as the LT does but the Remus exhaust adds a little more growl. The wind was a bit much but on a warm day like today, it felt good. I need to look at getting a slightly larger windscreen. Norman, another member of the club, had the Cee Bailey's screen. It looked a little too big to me. We'll see.
There and back from Ronkonkoma resulted in 130 miles ~ 37 MPG. On the way home, I opened her up a little and had a ball! Fastest I've ever been on two wheels even with the generous BMW speedometer!
While on the ride, Carlos recommended taking a wire wheel to the bolts before I purchase new ones. I figured what the hell:

After:
I bought a wire toothbrush and got into the ring of the oilhead engine. Scrubbed some spots away here and there. I got into a bunch of nooks and crannies.
Filled up again for the next ride and again added some Seafoam.
Cost: $17 for brush and wheel
Mileage- 130 today +78 yesterday = 208 almost as many miles as the previous three years in just 4 days. NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
