Over the last 3000 miles, about 57 mpg overall.
When I snapped that pic, I was hauling my ST1100 seat (that I had just sold on eBay) to the post office.
I don't own a cage, if you couldn't already guess that!
Yea, I knew you did well on MPG, generally, I was laffing at what it must be, shoving all that wide load down the road. I bet a few hundred miles at highway speeds would knock a dent in that average..
You know, a man on a 10 speed has about the same aerodynamics as a pickup, about the same Coefficient of Drag, & I suppose a motorcycle is close, but a little higher. Toss something like that across, tho, & now you are somewhere between a van & a Semi, closer to van, Id guess.
