In Venice for the weekend mate. Also the twin still isn't right, looks like I've got a carb strip to do.

Hmm, 69.4 mpg - that's pretty good going.

That;s not what i was expecting Lutin. I filled it up to the exact same position ( there is a white plastic filler neck just inside the tank) and thats what it came to when i checked it too .
I was not hanging about either, i kept it smooth and quick throughout the ride and carried a lot of consistent speed thru the corners without being aggressive with the throttle.
Out for a 70th birthday dinner unfortunately so can't make that one eitherdigitalcaptive said:Wll joins us for the Ace Café tomorrow then

Hmm, I'd want to check that again as well.
MInd you, you could just have found the one filling station in the country that sells "special" petrol.
Nice one Stan, you are not mistaking kms for miles perchance are you...stanbloke said:Lutin said:Hmm, I'd want to check that again as well.
