cool, any idea of which roads you are going for between Basingstoke and Box Hill? There are some pants roads (like the Hog's Back) and some good ones. Maybe Rigor could make some suggestions seeing as that bit's GM territory!

I'll have a sit down tonight and see what I can come up with. What road are we coming into Basingstoke on?

Was gonna take the A33 down from Reading.. Don't really know any others. Feel free to suggest a route to Box Hill from B'stoke.. I'll let you lead if you like!

LMAO....thats really bad compard to the quoted 40MPG. You must have a heavy throttle hand(too much hand love ).

You are officially back in the 'first to run out of fuel' lottery.

This could be the first TVSF / GM rideout combo..

Sarah, you help set up this rideout but may not be coming??

You sure that 40mpg is for an 03 bike? I seen figures quoted at 32 and 27 mpg!

Yep....and even better its not 40MPG its 45 PMSL.

Apparently your bike has an 18 litre tank but mine is only 17 litres. Mine is more of a sports bike as opposed to your 'commuter'

16.5 litres here What's that make me? Apart from the person who's going to run out first
