    Default AWESOME weekend

    Wife and I took Friday and Tuesday off and rode from Dorr, MI to Bland, VA to visit relatives, and then back home.
    We ran all back roads, no highway, except for back back and forth to hotel and put on a little over 1,400 miles total.
    The worst mileage we got was 35.6 MPG and the best was 39.8 MPG.
    The Spyder NEVER missed a beat, but I didn't expect it to.
    It was a nice break in run for the new seat, before we leave for Utah in a couple of weeks. I will say that the 9 hours in the saddle non stop except for fuel was a little uncomfortable towards the end.
    Did see a a total of 5 other Spyders on the road during the trip.
    I love my Spyder!!

    No pics on this trip.

    With new seat being a little taller than the factory seat, my wife says that the passenger backrest hits her in the wrong spot. Has anyone here raised or re-positioned the passenger backrest?

    That is a long ride. I can't imagine that many hours in the saddle.
