Hi Everyone (From Asheville, NC)

Hey everyone!!!

I have an ultralight enclosed bike, and call it the SuperGeek. After a trying a few engines, I settled on a 2003 Ninja 250, both for durability and and economy... Going to try to break 200 Mpg this year :-)

After having lurked forever...I want to thank all of you for the amazing information I have learned here (Especially the MPG stuff...and that whole "Key bypass thing"!!)

Looking forward to much sharing,

Ray Vaughan

Hey Greenaero!!! First, you are the man. Love your "Git er done" approach to pushing the bleeding edge! The signs on the side for areo...just awesome. The fact that you "Iron Butt" your way to these numbers and competitions...just amazing.

My Mpg stinks right now... Had a CBF125 (F.I) installed for first measured run in may,,,and it was dumping 10:1 AFR and revving to 8-9k at 60 mph... Net measured (By weight) mpg was 72.6, I think....just horrible.

After following your work, I took the 2003 250 that had been on a test bench for 2 years, never cranked, and started working on a new, stronger rear end that would handle the increase from 11hp to 37. Got my rear turned down to 42, and running 38/86 jets in the Mikuni 30's. Now I'm dying to get it out there.... I'm curious what your effective rpm's are at 55-65 mph?

Wish I was there with you at CV's run...won't be long!!
