    Right, ive figured it all out. And i cant come, dammit. Ive gotta buy 2 new tryes, renew my insurance with european cover, get my fairings painted, tax, MOT, then all the money for the le mans trip. It wouldnt be too bad but it all needs renewing at the end of march :(.

    BUGGER!

    Looks like it will have to be the TT instead.

    Cars play in reserves. Bikes are the true winners. Get your priorities right ;)

    dont be daft! to a full tank of fuel (bout £15) i've had 125 miles when the light comes on then i get bout 30 miles to reserve and thats on normal roads on motorway you get a lot further! a full tank will get me down to birmingham and thats about the distance from caen to le mans. so 2 tanks to portsmouth and another to le mans....

    I should be looking at 160 miles on the motorway before I hit reserve :D
     
  13. Guest

    i thought you was on bout one way mate! lol
    I've just got some Activ8 which should help with economy too can see 12% increase in fuel economy using it! maybe more maybe less who knows less stress on the engine and gearbox though.
