No picture because I was driving, but I spotted an ER heading west on I-80 in NJ just east of the Delaware Water Gap. This was yesterday, October 10.

I spotted one and a gas station in far northern CA(near Shasta Lakes/Mt Shasta area) back in late Sept. It was silver, I only got a quick front glimpse, but I knew right off of was an ER!! Totally jealous! I was on my 2 wheeled adventure bike, Triumph Tiger.
So a question, what kind of MPG's are people getting out of these? 7-9mpg's maybe? Do people modify them to improve gas mileage with programmers or exhaust?

Let us hope our weapons are never needed --but do not forget what the common people knew when they demanded the Bill of Rights: An armed citizenry is the first defense, the best defense, and the final defense against tyranny. If guns are outlawed, only the government will have guns. Only the police, the secret police, the military, the hired servants of our rulers. Only the government -- and a few outlaws. I intend to be among the outlaws.

Seeing no replies to your question I'll offer mine. MPG varies with conditions of course. The new ones get up to 12 mpg, I hear. I get about 10+ on my 2008 ER. Many do add Edge programming etc to squeeze out a bit more. I was in Southern Calif last July (did a round-trip cross-country), so wasn't mine you saw :-)

Saw two ERs up in the Eastern Sierras last week. Both on hwy395. One yesterday a bit north of Red Rock Canyon looked to be brand new with all the farkles. Very nice rigs.

Earthroamer on I-8
Passed an Earthroamer on I-8 near Casa Grande, Az on the 7th of February. Had to turn around and get a better look. Very cool vehicle to see in person.

Love the truck, thanks for posting it. I had a dig around and it looks like a lone French woman, Veronique, on her way around the world:

That's quite a beast for a single person. And here we were worrying that our Tiger was a bit on the large size!
