I had a great weekend.
My lady (Tasha) and son (Donald, Jr.) were in Cameron, North Carolina. So, I decided to ride my Busa (AKA Chloe`) down there on Friday. I returned on Sunday. The total trip was 765 miles. This was my first major long distance ride since Tasha was pregnant with Donald, Jr. over 3 years ago. I was really excited to put Chloe` on the open road. I wanted to see how she was going to perform, handle, etc.
Chloe' seemed like she wanted to run 95 to 100 MPH all day long. She averaged 39.4 MPG. I only paid ~$22 for gas to Cameron. I really expected a lower MPG since my average speed was ~95 MPH.
On 95 South, I hit it a couple times and got her up to 145 MPH before I backed off. Chloe` is a 2004 LE; however, she runs so smooth and effortlessly. And although she has 29,547 miles, she runs just like new. I was so impressed with her that when I returned home, I popped a small wheelie to cap-off a 765 mile trip :-)
I guess the saying is true...some things get better with age or in this case with miles.
Take care,
Donald

I like my 04 LE also. It was a great bike.
