Ride on a new R 1200 GS

[warewolf]

Understand completely. But 300-350km is a long way short of 700km. My point is that for most people in NZ big fuel range is a choice rather than a necessity.

I don't drink coffee so don't get cravings like the addicts

its not really cravings - more of a compelling irresistible urge that must be obeyed.

gravels roads are just the most fun way of killing time till you get to the next latte

with you there eddie 350 is what i like,picton to CHCH without stopping,thats enough for me,but like you i like the ability the pd gives you to go where you want.I dont have to worry about wether i can try a new loop out the back of whykickamoocow,i just can(ussually)What sort of range does the 950 give you?

[Big Dave]

I stop every 200 whether I 'need' to or not. More is good but 250 does me fine.

About 275 to reserve.

[That looks like fun]

For me its not about having a fuel range so I can ride non stop for forty days and show everyone my penis is bigger , I stop when I want, I go when I want. I like being able to sit at an intersection and look at the No Exit sign and think to myself "I wonder what the end of that road looks like"? Take the need for fuel out of the thought train and go exploring, simple as that

We should go for a ride someday, my sort of riding.

350km is a long way short of 700km.

Usually about half way.

Usually about half way.

You can never be sure wid dat metric system, though...French, n'all...I dinae trust it, I tells ya!!!

[Gremlin]

400km is a good distance without stopping. Stop too often and time is lost, don't stop too often and you don't eat/drink enough.

I try to spend plenty of time exploring back roads, and you'd be surprised how quickly the distance gets eaten up, plus travel distance from and back to, the closest gas station (sometimes 50-100km away, so multiply by 2). Again, if you don't have to even think about closest gas stations, it makes the ride all that much greater

Warewolf, pm'ing you about something related.
