That ride felt more like 20 min, Instead of 10 Min. lol...You must have revving fairly high at times. What MPG do you get per tank on average ? Looks like fun I must go there. I think it's a 150+ Miles or so from where I ride. Take care, yl

@ylism On average I get between 45 and 48 miles per US gallon.

I had to double the speed of the video because YT had a ten minute limitation at the time. I can run faster. But not much. If TPD is out, they will ticket any motorcycle going over the 30mph speed limit. They are not forgiving. Hell, the only time I've heard of them charging a tractor trailer with anything was when it killed a friend of mine on August 3rd, 2011.

TRY IT WITHOUT SPEEDING IT UP

[Fudmottin]

I don't think even the locals who run that road at night could do it in under ten minutes real time. This was a Friday afternoon and the cops were out.

Although If I could average 70mph they would have to call ahead to stop me.

This video was sped up from 20 minutes.

Wow how fast did you speed that up?

[Fudmottin]

About twice as much. That part where I was in view of the TPD car, I was sticking to the 35 MPH speed limit ;-)
