Great adventure, BRAVO!
Did you need to pull to the shoulder of the road to let faster traffic pass?

The followup might be the fully-faired Honda Groin: A Less-Than-Massive-Crotch Rocket.

Oh. A local Honda Powerhouse dealer is giving away a Grom this weekend.
If I win it, I'll let you know how it handles grout lines in the kitchen tile.

By chance, are there any zombies registered at this site?

If I can create a sub plot with zombies, then this is bound to take off.

Bah, I know the OP.
He actually likes far-ranging discussions!
He may have posed the question to elicit just that.

Re: Web site lets you compare riding positions on various bi

It is fun, huh?
I see the angle of my back was about the same on the BMW R100RT as on the PCX.
And the Honda VF500F was only slightly more extreme than the new Honda CBR500R.
Lots of fun comparisons to be made.

Re: Web site lets you compare riding positions on various bi

I did, however, notice that they don't show feet up on the forward rise section of the floorboards on either the PCX or Forza. They may not realize that's an option.
Still, a fun tool for overall comparisons and a clever bit of programming.

Terrific comparison site ... lets you compare your riding position on bikes and scooters you own now (or in the past) to something new you might be considering.

Very interesting when I input several bikes I had ages ago to compare with the PCX and others I currently lust for.

Re: What is the most gas-efficient speed?

The best mileage obtained was 132 mpg at 30-35mph. More commonly, I get 105 mpg at around 40 mph, and at 50mph, the mpg drops to the low 90's. At these speeds, most of the energy used on a motorcycle is to overcome wind resistance. So, yes, in theory a draft team would improve efficiency (just like...
