Went on a cruise.
« on: July 26, 2011, 09:20:00 PM »
I know I've posted this here before, but... well I just love to show off.

I went on a 1100km (700 mile) trip through the Canadian Rockies a couple of weeks ago on my 750A
She ran like a top the whole way, and I had fewer complaints than the guys on their new cruisers. (Mind you, I was wearing a kidney belt... and they laughed at me.... Who's laughing now! :D )

Anyway, I thought the other 'matic fellows here might appreciate a few pics of one of our beasties being used for it's intended purpose... cruising!

This one is just arriving at Jasper National Park


Same spot, different angle


Along the Icefields parkway


Beautiful waterfall, same parkway.


Did I mention we did this trip in one day? Left town at 6 30 am, got back home at 11 30 pm. Rode the ENTIRE day. It was AWESOME. :D

Its really nice tom, thanks so much for the pictures and for proving that hondamatics can cruise too. Can I ask, what kind of mileage would you say you averaged during the whole trip and about what speed did you sustain most of the way?

On the entire trip, I got 38 MPG, with speeds ranging from 100 km/h (60 mph) to 160 km/h (100 mph) Average speed was about 130 km/h

 I maxed out the fuel mileage on one stretch at about 60 mph at 50 mpg!
