I thought 100 miles was the norm on many sports bikes now :? The light starts flashing on mine between 100 & 105 miles normally :roll:

I only get about 70-80 miles outa my tiny ass thing!
I'm undoubtably going to stop for fuel and then catch up with the group.
My Fathers going as well as a friend of mine, so we'll probably all stop together
I've got a copy of the route and will print just in case :D

Feel free to join me when my 3x3 Inch fuel tank runs dry...

well it is restricted at the mo.... i may be wrong but always thought that bikes run more rich when restricted...but maybe wrong.

my bike dosent have a fuel light i have to turn the fuel tap (no problem doing that) even when moving but i have absolutely know idea how far the reserve will take me... it is 2.0l so in theory that should take me another 20 odd miles

if im riding aggressively it may take me less and to be honest dont particularly want to risk being too long on the reserve :lol:

argh i so want to de-restrict my bike...only 12 months to go :(
have thought so many times about de-restricting it!!!

as its a friendly ride, all riding will be at POSTED speed limits, so if you find that riding at 30 mph is aggressive, god help you at 60 mph :D

if anything you will probs find that on this ride you will get really good mpg as you don't go fast enough to become uneconomical.

there is a large garage with a big forecourt just as we get off of the A303 and head to Illminster, we can all pull in there and fuel up, its 50 miles from the start point.

I thought you had to ride a bike to work out miles per tank?? :D

Everyone will get good MPG from a friendly ride, keep the gears high and you'll be fine.
