Quite literally!
As the bike had done 235 steadyish miles on the tank, I thought I'd take the opportunity to run it out, properly out, see how many miles until it does so and how many litres to brim. So with a measured 5ltr in a can off I tootled.
The second reserve started flashing at 275 miles so I turned round, headed for home & tootled some more... some more, it got dark & tootled some more...
Just as I pulled out of a junction next to a busy pub the bike suddenly cut out, I had momentum to freewheel into the car park & park up within view of inquisitive onlookers to pour in the 5ltr.
Distance to running out: 325 miles
The bike re started instantly.
Brimming at the next garage took a further 15.8ltr @ 330miles.
Tank capacity brimming to the top of the neck is 20.8ltr or thereabouts.
Mpg works out at 72 (imp) mpg which is 2 more than I've had before over a distance - probably a psycological effect. I wasn't riding with a view to getting the best economy possible, more a steady, flow of the traffic taking in the scenery type of pace, with the odd brisk overtake for good measure
Sorry, no pics!
