    Desperate Biker but great fuel consumption!

    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!!

    Wow, 125mpg! That's more my language. Great economy. Can be important these days.

    Ever notice that anyone slower than you is an idiot, but anyone going faster is a maniac?

    Did you ever see that red C painted over the H on the Huntly sign?
    The world will look up and shout "Save Us!", and I'll whisper "no"

    Wow 125mpg saves real dosh cf cages.

    After the 50kph test, why not try 30 and then 100 and 150 for comparison t.
    I have just found out that they have removed the word gullible from the dictionary
