Is Bathurst and back, a lap around the track and a museum tour only a day ride on a 1098, ;D Nev it would be a half day ride for a 1098 but they have to stop for petrol every 150Km. taht will give us (on bikes and not rockets) a chance. Urio |

I uses to get just above 280 before Termis now I get about 250
what amasses me is that my wife Harley is bigger capacity 1200 and has a carburetor not fuel injectors. I fill the Harley for $8.00 and I fill the Duke with $12.00 after traveling the same distance.
I think I have to loose weight.
John it is a terrible feeling worrying about running out of fuel. I had that feeling when I hire Harley Ultra Classic in the USA in the dessert with temperature above 40 deg. lucky I stopped and ask a Rancher and he directed me 15 km out of my way to fill up otherwise I would have to push all 350+kilo for the last 30km

That ,s one of the advantage of riding in a group. There are some but not a lot of cars that stops to offer a hand.
