    GSF600n:

    104Km
    £129.35 spent (petrol, new pads, Suzuki dealer prices for unseizing
    front caliper, brake fluid, sundries, indicator bulb)

    Just over £2.00 per mile. Hopefully it'll get a better average as the
    year goes on.

    Take comfort from the fact that you are not ocean yacht racing. I once
    saw it described in financial outlay terms as akin to "tearing up 50
    quid notes as fast as you can in a howling wind and pissing rain." (I
    paraphrase)

    I could always move it on to the figures for last year, Prime

    That's it. Tried a quick Google without success. Who actually first used
    that phrase?
