Short of cash? Dont know why?

[skelstar]

So Ive done 10,000kms on my new bike since Feb 14th. Thats a bit over two months. I get about 240kms out of a tank and it costs me about $24 to fill up. Nothing weird there. Thats 10c/km.

10,000kms/10c/km...thats a $1000 spent on gas in the last two months.

FARK!!!

Now I know where all my bloody cash is going.:weird:

[Colapop]

I've spent that on rugby and I'm not even playing...

As long as your doing something work related you can claim it back can't you?:blip:

[limbimtimwim]

Yeah, came to the same realisation this morning. I have enough money to pay the phone/internet OR the power/gas.

Don't get paid for.. Too long.

[skelstar]

Precisely the reason I didnt go to Taupo.:)

Damn wish I got that a tank.

Mines $20 to fill and does 176kms before the petrol light comes on. That's riding the TL like a nana too!

[skelstar]

Nice. When were were riding with a TL-S friend out of Greymouth, we weren't going to be able to do a return trip to Arthurs Pass without a gas-up...he could only manage 150kms on a tank. Thank god we found another servo out near the lakes on the way.

Bloody hell matey. You might as well be using a car! I can get about 480 ks form a tank, (if I had to) without too much trouble.

I've heard that Hondas (and big twins) are heavy on the juice but that's a bit scarey.

[skelstar]

Thought it was average. My mates XR6 is twice as thirsty and half as quick. Im not complaining too much ;).

[WickedOne]

Hey skelstar, you getting 240km hard riding or cruising?

[skelstar]

Gonna say 'average'. Very rarely full throttle. Although I have a hard time revving above 6k rpm...its a v-twin mentality (my 250 is vtwin).

Long kms is about the same as short commuting kms. Maybe 20kms difference.

You?

[GR81]

i remember when my cars used to do 10c/km lol

i used to have a 'mobil max' card... 1 point for every $1
i looked at it one day and went sh1t... 10,000 points :)
then i thought... thats $10,000 haha
damn!

[WickedOne]

Generally (cruising and commuting) I'll get about 240km as well. However, when hammering it the fuel light comes on at about 215km!!! Quite a difference. (Tank is 19L for those who don't own Hornets)

Dont mess with the fluro vests, they apparently come in handy at accident sites.:yes:

Also, had the wife sew one on to a polar fleece, so now warm and visible...

i bet less and less companies are offering that now days.
fringe benefit tax anyone? lol

[riffer]

I know how you feel.

I filled up this morning. $32.50.

I will fill up again on Thursday morning. :angry:

Only consolation is I get 75kms riding a day.

Still expensive but.

[skelstar]

Yeah, Im commuting from Stokes Vegas to Gracefield. Not the most exciting commute in the world. I actually go the 'long-way' to make it interesting. Sometimes a blast over the W-hill...like this morning ;).
