Can I fill at Omeo and ride all the way down to Bruthen about 100km barely cracking the throttle open?

Mmmm never thought of that .Can hardly ban going down a hill . Any ideas how to make it "legal "

Oh well ,no down hill coasting .I plan a huge tail wind ,even throttle and things i'm not saying .I want "king nerd " title badly.

Mine don't count but for interest sake

Average for bandit when it lived here was ~75kms
Best (bandit) was a almost 100
Worst (bandit) was ~35

That was with 95 and filled in the shed on the c.stand with a jerry, to the brim

Vee average so far is 120kms with a best of 140kms
Wee average so far is 180kms with a best of 250kms

Good idea. I'll fill up in Bombala and head towards Cann River - there is a 7 km downhill bit that should help it.

Stop getting technical .If you want to roll down a big hill (i know you wont ) you deserve to win "KING NERD "

I'm working today ( ) so i'm riding tomorrow . And for once i can afford to fill-up.
Can some one set a distance to go for.

Your on a train . Sorry but you win "KING .... "

I won't be fuelling up until later this week Gus - I might be able to give it a go next weekend.

Sly bastard Ewoke . Wait till some numbers come in and then go out and smash it .I'm wise to you .

74.5 kilometres when the first bar goes. Sitting on 110kph on freeway

Without even trying I know im out.........

Ride until the first bar disappears?

17km, 1st gear, got up to 110km at one point.

the best I've seen was around 60km. That was after filling up at Glenrowen heading to Albury sitting on 120 (indicated)

Well, thought I'd give this a go!
Filled up with 98 (as usual), bike on the side stand, and filled to just over the plate.
Bike was started a total of 3 times (including at the servo!), and most of the journey was at "fwy" speeds, some of it was in traffic.
The first bar disapeared at 88.3kms
I cant remember the wind direction and what time the sun rise was, but I was wearing my lucky underware .....if that helps!

I'm sorry guys but I am really not that concerned about fuel economy. As long as the bike is running smooth and has plenty of ponies when called upon I could not care. Too many variables to take into account to get any clear results on MPG. As long as the price stays under $5 a litre then I will keep riding.

+1. As I posted in Gus' other thread. Only once have I ridden with economy on my mind, and that was only because if I hadn't it was going to be a long walk.

Damn - I was picking up second hand bricks last night the missus bought on eBay. And dropped right straight onto the big toe on my right foot. Horribly swollen and xrays show it is fractured as well (quite badly). Had the nail lanced today to relive some of the pressure (which helped a lot). But can't see me riding for a bit so can't give this fuel challenge a go. Bugger.

88.3 Kls thats going to take some beating .

Around 50kms. Then again we are still in the having lots of sex type relationship my 1200 and me. In other words i am still exploring this bikes engine and its heaps of grunt.

Are there any pictures of this sexual relationship and grunting ?

Not with this bike yet. There is with my BMW engine... The shame of it.
