Excellent Edina Mall Southdale

A friend and I were in Edina killing time when we decided to get something to eat. We headed over to Southdale Mall which is a nice upscale mall in Edina Minnesota. I had never been to Southdale so I was amazed at the variety of shops and the upscale nature of the mall really fit with Edina's cakeeater image. One of my favorite aspects of Southdale mall is the restaurants. Big names like Cheesecake Factory and California Pizza Kitchen make sure that a day of shopping at Southdale Mall can end with a great meal, excellent drinks and desert. Depending on where you live in Minnesota Southdale Mall can be a hall but it is certainly a great alternative to other malls like the Mall of America in Bloomington.

48 MPG From My Streetglide

With gas getting so expensive I decided to discover what the MPG is for a Streetglide. I'm pleased to report that driving conservatively and coasting at times I was able to get 48 MPG on an 83 mile trip. I'll be doing more testing and documenting the data at my motorcycle MPG blog. I'm hoping I can determine what the Streetglide MPG is based on various styles of driving.
