    I rode TOG's. The screen was over my head and i'm hardly a shortarse !

    Heh, book me in for a bimble now you've got something decent ;-)

    Agh. Tell me about it :-0

    The fuel guage on the 12R is hopelessly pessimistic though. The
    reserve was flashing and I still had 3 litres left in the tank :-(

    Cheers,

    Paul.

  4. Curiously, the Trophy's gauge is about the most accurate I've ever come
    across on a bike[1].

    Half-full really is half full, and it runs onto reserve[2] just as the
    needle dips into the red zone.

    [1] Mind you, it needs to be.
    [2] Proper old-fashioned tap, as nature intended.

    Well, 3L out of 20 is still 'reserve' territory, not flashing the
    guage 'fill me up now whoop whoop' sending me into a panic on the
    motorway ...
    Aye, I dream of a tap ... :-/

    Bit quaint though in todays hi-tech world. I was decried for having a
    choke the other week FFS :-!
