    HUGE diff in mpg between winter ethanol blend and summer gas

    I hear ya bro, 50+- in summer in AZ with summer gas, then 44-45 mpg in winter with the winter blend. My thoughts are partially blocking off radiator in winter too see if it helps it run hotter/leaner in the winter.

    Finally got out for a nice ride today..

    I get the greatest performance out of it by folding it up and putting it in a ziplock bag when I first get to work in the am, I then fill the bag up with enough water to saturate the vest. I then place it in the refridgerator for almost my whole work shift, but about half an hour before I leave...

    Bt 023 really bite

    Bout 3k on the front and 1k on the rear but as of yet no visble wear. I would like to try for 14 to 15k out of the rear:whistle: I think as far as grip they are the best I have used yet. The 021 is the last one I used, I think I got about 11-12k out of the rear. The 021 I had on the front cupped...

    Bt 023 really bite

    Jumped on my other PC and now I see responses:banghead: Oh well...I figured it has to be my foot position but I dont think I suddenly changed where I rest my feet. I kinda just figure that I am being more aggressive because of the great feedback I get from these skins?
