Time to test my gearing on the Templar X 250. I took it up a quietish FM road. Then I ran it through the gears up into 6th.
The Speedometer on my X 250 hit 70 MPH @ 6,500 RPM, at that point I was running out of road and approaching a stop sign.
I did 40 miles today, only a few of which were speed testing. The police were out in force so I cooled it. Just a mile or two south was the city proper again and I passed a car pulled over by the local police, likely speeding as that side street was signed 40 MPH.
I spent the remaining time of the day going over dirt, gravel, pavement, a lot of detours and construction. Went through about 9 roundabouts. Filled up at the local Costco, 1.6 gallons in the tank with 80 on the Trip. Then spent the bulk of the time doing 40-50 MPH runs around the estate on public roads, that one side road being 40 the rest signed at 50.
I would have stayed out longer but the fun factor to sore arse ratio slowly ticked up as the laps increased.
