Cycle October 1988 - 1000 Mile Road Test Venture Royale and Others

[twigg]

I paid a horrible amount of money for this edition of Cycle Magazine, and I am happy to share the interesting bits.

 

I have uploaded the full size images of all the following pics, and they are clear and legible. Any problems and I have the original pages.

 

Lots of it is interesting, but the gas consumption over the trip was 40.6 mpg. That is with a single rider, carrying 20lbs of gear. The gas in 1988 had no ethanol and we should, I think, expect around 1.5mpg poorer with E10. There may be other factors .... add comments

 

So high 30s seems to be about right for one-up, fairly spirited riding.

 

Anyone struggling to read these .... The original images are much bigger, and easy to read. Try downloading these from Photobucket, and if it's still a problem I can send copies of the originals.

 

Enjoy.

It's a photobucket restriction.

 

Images are limited to 1074 x 768 without a "Pro" account.

 

If anyone has hosting that can display the fullsize images, let me know and I'll send them.

 

Then they can be linked here.
