Ricky,What kind of mileage did your 61 get on the trip?
We got about 8.5 - 9 MPG... It's running really rich.. I need to spend some time experimenting with jetting...
Ricky, I will bet the smiles per mile made the mpg worth it!
As for smiles per miles Brian.. We did 2300 miles and had a blast... We would do it again in a minute!!
