Arthurs Pass gas stops?

[jonbuoy]

Thanks for the info - Nah I don't like letting it run low after the time I sucked shit in, really should scrub the tank out. I think the bike musta been stored for a while in Japland maybe.
Hopefully this Fecking weather will clear up by next week.

190KM is a fine range for a small tank VTR - tho - I guess tank range should be a lot better for me touring as opposed to fanging it. I'll have to be a bit smoother with the right hand anyway.

Cheers everyone.

Resurrecting this old post to please the bandwidth nazi's

I went on a fun ride to Arthurs Pass today, before i left i checked the distance being 80ish kms from Springfield, thinking if i filled up there i would be pushing it making it to Arthurs Pass and back on a full tank so i googled "Arthurs Pass petrol station" a few results came back so figured there was defiantly a station there.
So i arrive at Arthurs Pass, ride through it looking for some pumps, none to be seen.
I made it back to Springfield with around half a litre left in the tank luckily.

So i used google again to check if there was a station and it says there is a station a bit before Arthurs Pass but when i looked on street view it was a empty field and the link sent me the DOC website.

So is there a petrol station there and im just blind? Its a really fun road and i would like to do it again without worrying about running out of gas

The cafe has a gas pump, you will need to go inside to pre-pay, or at least ask the lady at the register to activate the pump for ya.

Which cafe? One of the two in the main part of the town?

Any advise would be great.

It's the 'Arthurs Pass Store'

Google map street view shows it here (pump included).

It's a pain in the ass on a busy day.

Thanks, i can see how i missed it, i was looking for a proper station

Hitcher and his egotistical spelling crusade stoops to a new low, correcting errors from seven years ago. You really are a knob jockey. I hope I didn´t make any grammar errors that you can highlight and masturbate over. Maybe you should learn some basic human interaction skills.
