Riding with a mate in the wind on the rivers edge with no lights through tunnels along walk ways in the dark.

I remember when it was 37p a litre when I first started driving - and that was only 1988 so not just after they invented cars!

I remember the total chaos when it went a pound per gallon and the mechanical pumps had to be changed...
Yes it was a shock when I filled up my 250 RD.....(on L plates of back then).

Looking at what you pay for fuel makes our prices look pretty good...
GBP = AUD2.15 Lately I've been paying about $1.20/litre... or 56p. If I fill up at the office it's a hair over a dollar... or about 47p. |

4star 2/8p a gallon in 1966. From the fleet pumps at work. A few years later, I had a Colt Celeste 1600 and was filling it with 4star for 2 years until I RTFM at which point I discovered that it was tuned to run on 2 star.
It ran better and was more economical on the 2 star.

Bibio popping round for Sunday dinner. He gave guitar lessons to the gaffer while searched the internet looking at bikes and grabbed along.
It was great to see you wee man...
