it's all to do with riding style. smooth and progressive with no cracking the throttle wide open on straights and no slowing down for corners. i also keep my bike in tip top condition. don't know if the suspension has anything to do with it but if it does then yes i have some very nice suspension.

before you say it no i don't ride like a wuss.

You couldn't keep up with Chucca and me at GM (and you were marking

)
Lance does ride quick, but the bike is fully sorted

That'd what its like for me, 50ish mpg doing 70/80mph on motorway with the odd blast to keep me awake. Then 100ish miles to a tank (13litre) when commuting to college everyday have had a 80 miles to 13l but I was bombing it mixed with college and stop starting.

brakes, tire pressures, regular oil/filter changes and tune ups. brakes being the big one.

LewSpeight · 28-12-12, 11:37 PM

Phew. I'm doing most things right then, what do you mean by 'tune ups'?

andrewsmith · 28-12-12, 11:38 PM

Brakes are a must. I've spent the last year with naff ones through one thing and another
They will be evil next year
