We might need a syphon hose

About 140km I think , If your pissy little tanks won't get you that far either bring a can and stash it along the way or a hose and I'll make sure theres enough in the mother ship .

Big thanks to Underground for today's guided tour of Mt Patriach. zeRax was there too but spent most of the day either on his knees or under a rock, chundering or sleeping - it must have been a good night!
We rode up to 1,400m in brilliant sunshine with spectacular views. An amazing place for adv riding, right at Blenheim's back door.

A good mix of native bush, forestry & alpine riding

God damn altitude sickness

When i had the stock WRR tank I got between 120 -140 km to the reserve light and 200 nearly dry (7.2l). The Safari tank gives peace of mind 300+ and radiator protection

Looks like it was a great ride. Struan popped in to see us at the bach but pissed off before we could get a paintbrush in his hand -bloody bludger. The sound of the mighty DT got all the boys excited so the chainsaws started up straight after he left.
