Though must be reflecting on my full throttle method of riding to work

I've had about 160 miles out of my SV before the fuel light came on.

Might have been because i was on the motorway for most of them miles though...

Think it only took about 14 litres when i filled up.

On a motorway journey i managed 170 miles before the reserve light came on, I didnt push it any further as there was a service station just up ahead but 170 miles worked out to be about 60mpg, not to shabby

Though I have gone up one on on the rear sprocket so it would be out but not sure by how much

Reserve light started blinking today....at 182.4 miles on the trip.

I was quite happy at that!!!! Was hoping to hit the 200 mark...bet I could if I reduced the amount of blats about town I had. 201 miles now and the reserve light still isn't solid.

Tucked in, not at all, if anything more upright.

Commute to Uni everyday, its about 20 miles of NSL/motorway and maybe 8 of 30's and 40's. Plus a stint through the the glasgow city centre. Going to fill it up with bp optimax today and will try and crack the 200 mark. Made my hornet get 1/5 more tank range so it's worth a crack.

I'm on a 1999 curvey, half faired version.
