Hello everybody....just gonna say that I just got back from a small trip from Chapel Hill NC up to Pittsburgh. I was up there visiting family for a few days, and even managed to see the preseason game against the eagles. GO STEELERS!. Anyways, I made the trip there and back to Chapel Hill with my dad (he was on a honda valkyrie). My bike is an 03 750 and it ran great. What an amazing ride that is up and down hwy 77. I ran 70 mph most of the ride and got 53mpg. I strapped my pack to the passenger seat for back support and was in no pain the entire 16 hrs. This was my first long distance trip and loved every minute of it and plan to make plenty more of them.

Awesome! great MPG for 70mph too. I spent a week w/o a car on my trip with my GL500 and it's a different feeling knowing you only have a bike to rely on. How many miles was it?
Tell your dad valkyries are a great bike.
