Coro Loop?

[Marnie]

Can anyone tell me how many kilometers a round trip Narrowneck - Coro Loop - Narrowneck is? With a stop perhaps at Coroglen Tavern....(rough estimate fine) And could I get away with it on a full tank of gas when I leave Narrowneck?


Thank you

I'm not good with Google Maps....can you at least be helpful and tell me how to enter the data so I get the numbers I need and can then try to estimate gas usage?

Thank You

Can you not stop to refuel at some point? Does your bike have a fuel gauge? Mine doesn't and I will stop on longer rides to refuel just in case.

[hellokitty]

Oh yeah, fuel consumption will vary according to how you are riding and traffic etc.

[Marnie]

Yes it does have a fuel gauge....but need to justify to the powers that be the fuel usage and cost etc....tight budget lol

Lucky! I wish I had a fuel gauge!

To me it appears to be 432kms - I don't know how much you get to a tank but I doubt 1 tank is enough

Gas in the tank is good insurance ... at any time.

BUT ... never trust the gauge. Setting the tripmeter to zero when you fill ... at the next fill check km's done and amount of fuel used. Doing this for about a half dozen times ... will give you an "average" fuel use. A lot of top gear use with gentle throttle use will get better fuel consumption.

[BoristheBiter]

basically fill up at home, fill up at Whitianga.

Unless you can't get 220km out of a tank.

Says 434 odd km total. Cut a couple of K's off for dumb stuff that motowhere does - like send you via off ramps and on ramps...:facepalm: Two tanks of gas oughta do it. Maybe refuel at Whitianga?

[Marnie]

I can justify to the powers that be :woohoo:
