$15? That's a tank of gas!

[riffer]

Going up to Auckland on Thursday for Frosty's wedding.

It's on the list of stuff to do.

And damn, I wish a tank of gas was only $15. It's about $45 to fill the RF900 from empty.

So which day you think you are going?

$45, thats sounds like big tank you have! But perhaps it's all depends on how long it will last?

Hmmm - :sherlock:

That would be Miles per US Gallon Mr Riffer. Fractionally better than the big Viffer round town.

Try playing with the conversion tool attached.

Yes, I am sad (And my bike has an MPH speedo)

That's not that sad. I have the total cost of ownership this year available up to this morning.

think isaac's calculation came up with something just over 30cents/km for his rf900.....but then again he is a big fulla and pretty much always had a pillion and hooned the fuck around :woohoo:

EDIT: just had a little bit more of a think and you have your petrol price generously low......hasnt been that low all year or for the better part of last year.....

My calcs are all correct. I spend enough time on them. I'm 100kgs/five foot ten and have a bit of a heavy wrist.

As for the petrol prices, we take full advantage of the Supermarket vouchers. I regularly save 10 - 15c a litre using them at the local Caltex on Fergusson Drive which takes ALL the local vouchers.

The average petrol price is calculated using the total price paid for petrol divided by the total litres of petrol used. It's ranged between about $1.60 and $2.20.

BUMP!!!

OK, let's go Saturday after 1pm. So that I'm free Sunday for riding :p

Toto you coming?

hehe well you're calculations sound a butt-load more accurate than isaac's!! man wish i knew what the hornetto costed me in terms of cents/km!! did some slightly better than half-assed calculations for the old 7r and she did bout the same as your rf i think....gotta love heavy wrists :2thumbsup

[2wheeljunkie]

man wish i knew what the hornetto costed me in terms of cents/km!!

frrom the coro i did 16km/ litre of 98 octane gas..

geez man i get more out of a tank hooning around the coro than i do from commuting around the shitty!!! coro's prolly less dangerous too :scooter:

[BANZAI]

Just found out that essay due in next monday, lecturer want draft of essay done by this coming up monday... so gotta spend some time during weekends.

Argggggggggggggg Uni is taking fun away from me :no:

[Zim_Invader]

hey, i'm gonna make a trip down for a bit, as a kunch time, stuy break. u keen to join? i won't be able to text, my phone's REALLY craping out, it's now just beyond funny or irritating. i really am starting to hate this dam device.

anyways, send up word on kb, and i'll check it tomorrow, b4 leaving uni.

[BANZAI]

Nha I'm just gonna pop in fix day and go.

Argg life sucks! My thread got raped and I cant goto the show... :oi-grr:

[Real_Wolf]

just decided to post my little old xs250's fuel.

Basically, a fill up costs like $20 max usually about $15, and it can go 150km on that easily, so assuming $2 per lire, thats 10 litres for 150k, or 7.5 litres average

That means 6.6 l/100km, or at best, 5 l/100km.

This is a bike from 1982. I think that owns

Edit: Oh yeah, I also floor it alot, if I was more cautious on the gas, I could probably get the fuel efficiency way up, since I run it up to nearly full revs most of the time

[Timati]

Anyone still keen to go to the speedshow?

[2wheeljunkie]

Anyone still keen to go to the speedshow?

u shud be out riding mate..weather's beautiful..i can see it out the windows from uni..:mad:

[avgas]

that show looks like crap.
no new american muscle
no new Lexus (mmmmmmm LFA)
no new mazda concepts (mmmmmmm Furai)
no new BMW concepts
no FISKER
no new Lotus Evora
typical car/bike show in NZ.........shows us what in the show room currenlty.....and was on the concept pages in the 90's

[motorbyclist]

we're prolly safer with him in a cage than on a bike :whistle:

why he doesn't just get an fxr150 or another motard is beyond me

+1

[2wheeljunkie]

would love for him to get back into road riding..bt can u really see him on a fxr150?

[motorbyclist]

it'd be the most worked fxr you've ever seen:D

he's got the money to import a yzfr125 and maybe swap out the motor for a 250cc single from a WR (yamaha enduro bike)

[R6_kid]

this thread has gone so far off topic it's not even slightly related to the original post... farken hell! Think about the children!

[Timati]

u shud be out riding mate..weather's beautiful..i can see it out the windows from uni..:mad:

I did go up to Silverdale and on the way back thought would check it out and boy was it a waste of time. Can't believe that people organize such crappy shows. Good thing I got in for free!

[Zealot]

How did you manage that?

[Timati]

As I was parking the bike, someone who had just left the show walked up to me and asked me if I wanted the ticket and I went - "Sweet!".

[Zim_Invader]

u lucky bugger. i paid $12, and got to see a bunch of things that 've already seen way too much. was well upset, thinking they'd have more in the way of bikes, as they did call it a car and bike speedshow. i think i counted all the bikes total, on one hand (including teh sole pocket rocket)! was really saddened, but i did do one of those racing simulations for kicks... was a bit of fun, so no big upset there. haha. saw a few mini's doind burnouts and stuff... again, nothing all that special. but for the most, i think i'd prob have more fun following the drags around auck, looking at equally well done up cars, but have the glorious opportunity of watchin the rich little prick-racers scratch up and crash them... there's the fun ppl. that's the real reason to be there!!!:devil2:)

[2wheeljunkie]

As I was parking the bike, someone who had just left the show walked up to me and asked me if I wanted the ticket and I went - "Sweet!".

that wud have made my day..but from what zim said doesnt seem worth 12 bucks if there were only a handful of bikes..farrkk if i wanted to i could have gone to haldanes and mt eden for free perving of sexy motorcycles..

[Timati]

Appreciate any vehicle designed for speed/looks/mechanics but with the load of crap at the show, it was a disappointment.
