My highest ever! We took a weekend trip to Julian,ca. Traffic was terrible,we were stopped several times on the Fwy.probly averaged 30 mph.ac on. Then we have been short tripping around Julian.

I'm running 1oz of 2 stroke oil per gallon and 6oz of power service per tank. Filled up in Julian for the drive home but no PS for this tank.

Obligatory content comment: Atta Boy

Old geezer reminiscing comment: Love Julian back in the day. In one of my past lives I worked as a mechanic on the Anza Borrego Desert State Park and lived on the W-W Ranch off the Grapevine Trail near Ranchita. In many ways, some of the best times in my life!
