    The Alfa does that if I sit at 120mph all day. More circumspect use
    sees low 40s and 500+ miles from a tankful.

    I believe you have something to tell us regarding slightly less than
    circumspect use of said conveyance?

    Well? WELL?

    heh, I know the answer to this, but I believe the story should be told
    by the man himself .. ;)

    It explains why I felt a bit chilly.

    I feel it would be mean-spirited and ungentlemanly to descend to
    nitpicking over units. Suffice to say that it was in a diesel car,
    and I'm neither in jail nor the gutter press.

    I'm pretty sure I was in early stage hypothermia by the time I hit York
    last year. It was lovely during the day with the sun shining but as soon
    at it started to set, wham !
    Does it have to be within 14 working days or calendar days, checking the
    mail every day is killing me and if it's 14 working days I've got till
    the 7th May before the BOSM run is clear.

    It's amazing how far you can go on fumes if you ride at 50mph.

    The Ducati still gets a very good consistant long tank range whether
    you're cruising at 70 or 120 mph. On the CBR600RR I halved my tank range
    trying to keep up with Hog's ST4s.

  14. IIRC Working days, and sent does not mean received, as long as sending
    can be proven.

    Unless things have changed then simply sending is all the proof they
    require.

    Definitely the latter - and WUN eventually confessed to being the
    culprit.
    Sounds like a plan. Although with luck TOG has another year yet.

    Confessed? I'm rather proud if it.

    He danced past me singing "thank you for the money, money,
    money" ...so i'm guessing he's a happier camper for our trip and
    missing his holiday day.

    Indeed.

    Thanks to the YTCs for spotting the brochure. We managed to fit a
    half-a bottle in the tankbag, which is now on ice.
