Because of the obvious "3-Wheel Stability" of the Gold Wing Trike, Interstate Ridin' is a little less intimidating than on two wheels (I've seen 4 Bikers run over multiple times after layin' Bikes down on busy Interstates over the years, really bad thing to witness) and I've gone back to usin' them a little bit at times. My Trike seems to handle/ride best with 20 lbs of air in the rear tires, but playin' and experimentin' on I-24 around Manchester, I've made a small discovery. 30 lbs nets me about 1 mpg more at a steady 70 mph cruise speed, and almost 200 less RPM on the Tach for the same speed. Anyone else ever use more air for extended Touring on straight highway and/or Interstate ?
I know more air helps about punctures, tire life, and tire temps, so I may use this technique when gettin' where I'm goin', then let em' down when the FUN starts......:wtg:
