Update time! I ride this moto a bit more often than my streamliner as it handles better and can carry about the same cargo load. It continues to deliver relatively high fuel economy with the flexibility of the removable aerotrunk.
Some recent highlights: I had my brother ride the Silveraero project at the Hollister Vetter Challenge and he finished third of all the gas-powered motos behind Alan (172mpg)and me (162 mpg ). He got 142 MPG but I suspect that this was an artificially high reading due to fueling errors. Still, outstanding!

Last week Alan wanted to see how a Honda CFR250 would do on our test loop . I rode the Silveraero and got 102 mpg with the aerotrunk removed. The CFR250 got 89.8 mpg and Alan on his streamliner got 142.8 mpg.
