Eddie.
first stage, aprox 200kms. give or take a km.
second stage aprox 220kms, give or take a km or two.
sounds like a car rally........
im going to see if i can go all day on one tank, ill bring a tow rope, just incase.

fuel is at Pirinoa store./ martinbrough morning
and at castlepoint. masterton./ afternoon.

I was thinking the same thing. My bike should do that but I haven't got the tuning right yet so am a fair bit short. Best I've got out of a tank so far was the last one at 370km's off 30 litres. It only did 310km when i got it.

After filling up this week I discovered the choke cable had been dislocated and the chokes were half on. Hopefully that accounts for a fair bit of the lost economy.
