Carrying ballast(pillion) will alter things as well.

What year is your Z as it sometimes changes?

i can't remember what mpg it does.

it's an 03 bike i think but 54 reg.

i can't believe you just described me as ballast

And mine splits them both with 40mpg Apparently (Although I've only ever seen about 35 out of it )

You coming out on saturday then Sarah, you haven't even voted in your own poll

i haven't decided yet!

does anyone have a decent map of the route? or at least a list of the roads?

Typical pesky woman.....Nick's leading....i'll be the rear-gunner .

As for a better map i would ask Nick. To Fox's(from Shire Horse) we go towards Reading, into Henley(over the bridge), out of Henley towards Marlow, get off the A4155 signposted Wallingford/Oxford and its mostly NSL twisties and roundabouts galore all the way to Oxford.

As for coming back...thats where it gets interesting!

Keep the faith.

*Edit* We go the twisty way, but essentially its via Henley and Wallingford.

I know my limits, 95 miles til the reserve light, and I can get 25ish out of the reserve fairly safely (Famous last words there )

Its all part of the adventure....plus i expect Nick to be studiously committing every twist of the roads to memory.

I'm leading and ASM is rear gunner..

I know the route from Maidenhead to Fox's then down through Reading to Basingstoke but will be winging it to Box Hill! As ASM said it's all part of the fun

PS - I'm luck to get 30mpg out of mine
