I was made aware of this thread, but rather than give you a mileage I'll give you last years fuel bill.......£6,800 (well just under actually), but close enough, the Pegaso has accumulated 5.5k in six weeks.

Cheers Mark.

Rictus, if you don't mind me asking. What is your job/occupation that entails you to drive so much all over the country?

I guess I'm medically retired now so these days it's all for fun mate, back in the day I was a network consultant and spent most of the time shooting around the country on a bike with a laptop, I was averaging around 70k a year then.

Cheers Mark

42 last year if I remember right, I normally count up just after christmas, these days I have more time, but unfortunately my knee prevents me riding as much as I actually ride.
