    I Love Mondays

    Thought I'd go out for a ride round Port Waikato area to test the new 24lt tank out. Had to meet up with a sickly friend around midday so this was just the ticket.

    Course the sickly friend had a mate up the road who wanted some guinea pigs for the latest batch of his home brew......

    Few pics of my Monday

    Only 312k to reserve, may have to ease up on the throttle a bit for the DB1K....

    Red face

    Thought it looked familiar, used to work out that way when I was a nipper. Had a ER185 back then and it was a fun bit of road.

    Must be either a thirsty beast or a big reserve, the 640 is good for that & then some on a 18L tank

    Cheers

    I had a 7 gal. IMS tank on my BRP in the states....That was really pushing the range.....but, the weight made it not really practical...
