No, you'll have to push it the last 7 miles

only a hundred miles to a tank ! You do know you can use 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th don't you ?

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

kim will get 150 miles out of her tank, i admit the bike may not be as thrashed as most but guzzers should be good for 130 miles i would of thought.



when we stop at taunton for food there is a garage on the other side of the bridge where u can get fuel

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

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

[guzzers]

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

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

sounds good to me !!

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

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??

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

1 tank = 12 months riding

Due to stuffing my back up my bike is stuck in the garage so i have 2 weeks to sort it out or i'm not gonna make it but at least the osteopath is fit

[Ricey]
