I commute from Hamilton to Huntly on my GN125, so this week I'm on a course with a late start. Now I'm an early bird that's always has heaps of time, so this week I thought I'd have an "Economy Run", travelling at only 70 km/hr. Surprisingly it only takes me 2 minutes longer than at normal speed and I arrived at Hamilton the same time as one of my course members, driving a car.
Fuel consumption was 7.35 litres for 325 km = 44.22 km per litre or 125 mpg. That's $10.00 for a week. I really need more to do in my life but that's pretty good fuel economy. Might try 50 kph next!!

Did you ever see that red C painted over the H on the Huntly sign?
