Had a buddy stop by yesterday who use to manage a detail shop. We spent a few hours detailing the LR. Not that my bike ever gets real dirty since I wipe it down after every ride and it is always garaged or covered, we polished it up and it was looking like it did when I first got it. Amazing what a good detailer can do.
Looks like another week with no riding. Suppose to get a break in the weather Fri and Sat.

TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE
I recently ordered a FP3 for my HD 2k15 Low Ryder 103 cui.
Checking the MPG at every fill up was showing a consistent 43-45 MPG before FP3 install which is pretty normal.
With the FP3 install,stock map, it's telling me I'm getting around 48-50 MPG for average MPG per the iPhone readout.
The bike is still all stock.....no Stage 1 etc. I initially started with stock tune then loaded a stock map with K&N high flow air filter.
My question is which is more accurate for checking MPG's , the FP3 readout or doing it the ole fashion method.....miles driven divided by gals of fuel used?
Old method still showing I'm getting 43-45 MPG while FP3 48-50 MPG.
Many thanks!

I do it the old fashioned way. Miles driven divided by gallons used. I commute to work so I have a very regular route. I am getting on average 45 MPG.
