    I'd take at least part of that as a compliment, I think on the road I get at least 17kpl so thats 493km's with 29L plus a bit in the carb & fuel hose I'd be close, guess I'd have to fit your bottles back on to find out for sure though (took them to cut back weight but will admit they were cute ) and from my last East Cape ride on the KTM after missing a fuel stop I rolled into the gas station with no gas at 350ks (took 22 litres to full on a 22L tank) so am unsure what you'd want the other 100 + k's for ?

    Sorry about the other comments, was meant in jest but in hind site a bit mean

    PS, DR750 is a great bike and I can see why you did that trip on it


    Oops we're all off subject now

    I'm right keen to tag along with some others doing Fishers track and the 42nd this Sunday (http://www.adventureridingnz.co.nz/events/?event_id=30)

    Tho, the weather is looking like the ride will be put off.. lemme know if anyone wants to ride together if it is a go.

    Just checked and according to the manual reserve is 7 litres so you were doing near on 20km/L as you returned (on your Wiakato ADV ride) meaning you could have ridden another 140ks, total ks before using the whisky and bourben bottles 557ks

    DR's rock

    Risky as in a police state (thread) like this you could be shot for less

    In the other thread they are more Liberal

    Don't worry, I've given up.
    This thread used to be for organising rides in the Waikato, but now it seems to be the haunt of trolls and onanists from all over the country.
    You guys feel free to continue your cleverness and I’ll rely on the adult ADV site (you know, the one you got banned from for being a trolling dickhead).
    In the meantime I could do some thread hijacking here...
