4.03 | I tried every hypermiling trick in the book, I kept the chain well lubricated, made sure my brakes were not rubbing, even flushed the brake fluid; I ducked behind my little windshield most of the time, keep engine rev below 6500 rpm most of the time, I grabbed the clutch lever and coast downhills and to red lights, I even turned off the engine and walked the bike with my legs when the traffic was moving slow towards a traffic light, while others idled and crawled at 5 mph for 1/3 mi. | 69.78 |
