In my 2015 XLT I get about 23.5 around town with too much stop and go at lights. on the highway doing 60-65 and drafting other vehicles which I do NOT recommend I was able to attain a 38 MPG avg over 95 miles distance. regular highway driving at speeds of 65-75 I get about 28.5. If I drop speeds to 60-65 I get around 30.5. Stopping at lights on my local roads to work and back really hurts my milage of course. Anyone thinking of installing an oil system accumulator and engine start stop system like Cadillac uses on their 4cylinder engines now? I have tried shutting off at traffic lights and milage around town jumps to 28.5 no problem. I do not want to ruin my starter and engine due to so many unnecessary no oil pressure start ups.

Hell Yeah Fity! Those Groms are a lot of FUN never rode one. The go cart track I ride the "Little" bike on the passenger "Right" side is a 125 has a hell of a time keeping up with the Pros riding on those Groms. Amateurs on them really do not give me too much trouble. I use the new style crappy ratcheting cargo straps. I prefer truckers knots on some good 3/8" Burlap. I do use a "TrackSide" brand portable wheel chock for the front wheels. It fits perfectly in the resessed low portion of the floor behind the front seats. The road racers fit easily, even the bigger 250 Aprillia on the driver's side (Left). You should see the DRZ 400 Suzuki in there. If you are real nice I will even show you that photo as well....(you don't really have to be that good). I do have to walk the bikes in. I used to have a 54 GMC Truck (5 window) that I would ride up in like you Fity, but ever since my van era starting in 1974 I have been forced to shove them in ever since. Nice Posting with ya dude. SIncerely Herode.

So I am still a novice on how to best use this site for adding text and photos. Not quite sure wether This is all one post or how the heck I got two of the same shots in the first post. I will keep messing with

OK lets see if I can actually post a photo here. Ha...!!! It worked. I am sooo Happy. Yes Fity there is only One motorcycle here in VanTransit. But get my Phat Arse outta there and ther is plenty of room.

Hey Fity; You are right I would too..!! gonna be tight. On Christmass while visiting my son we actually got one of his and one of mine in at the same time. I have a photo on my home computer as soon as I figure out how I will post it in this thread. Maybe even make it my Profile pic.!!! Thanks for the Feedback.

Hello CheesyRider; Just joined this Group. My name has a form of the word "Ride" as well, so I could not imagine a more appropriate Post to introduce my self in. I Enjoy motorcycles and traded my 2001 E350 Powerstroke for a 2015 Transit Connect XLT 2.5L Petrol. Yes my main concern was fitting two motorcylces and all my gear into a vehicle which could almost ride in back of my VanDiesel. So far I am very pleased with my new purchase. Have to go to work early tomorrow so I will type at 'yall later. I will finish up my profile and so on later.
