I'm going for ultimate mpg-ness over the next 2 days - Riding like a grannie, shifting early, not going over 5k...Not sure what effect it will have but heres hoping the light wont come on before 150!

I've done 15.7 in the mountains in France but the high altitude was screwing the figures up and I only managed about 130 miles. Not a good place to run out of fuel.

I almost run out of fuel on the black mountains in Wales.

I have run out as I rolled into the Forecourt.
Bikes run great when they are just about to run out of petrol...
