 37mpg!!! That's what I worked out from fuelly after my mods and best remap. It was a spirited ride to my dads and back in the lakes, so I thought I'd take a bimble out to beacon fell just to see what she could do in touring mode.
48mpg!!! Holy sh#t that's better than I got with a standard bike. And now she's miles better!
The scenery was also awesome.

As I've not had a bike for long whilst living in Oxfordshire, did a bit of exploring today. there are some nice roads around the Marlborough Downs, Chippenham, Devises, Avebury, West Kennet etc. Well suited to the thou; winding fast A roads, twisty sections with ups and downs and (for the most part) good road surfaces. A bit sticky out today but fine once moving - add a bit of long awaited sunshine and music on the MP3, just what I needed and has cheered me up no end!  :) :)

Got the carbs balanced yesterday, and got Iridium plugs fitted, and good grief does it show!! Bike now runs smoother than Gershwin sliding down a greasy pole on a toboggan (to mix your metaphors). So smooth!  :lol :lol

Took out a fence panel and got it in the back garden. I've got a puncture in the front wheel so need somewhat safe to leave it on bricks when I take the wheel for repair/replacement.

Went for a late blat to make the most of the sunshine before it rains for the rest of summer. Tootled up past Blubberhouses then back again but the fuel light came on as I turned around so had to ride like nun to get home. :-(

Hey christo, if you got someone else to balance the carbs for you then out of interest how much did it cost?,mine could do with a fettle and although it would be easier to just ask my local garage since you've mentioned it & you is in the land of expensive then would be good to have a ball park figure to compare against.
cheers!

Paul (the mechanic) is a friend of mine - for fitting the plugs and balancing the carbs, he charged me £50. Minus £10, as I'm a starving student and he's a nice chap, and minus another £5 for finding some info on his bike on the interwebs.

Played a game with a few mates. Top speed in a 40 zone.  It was tripled  but not by me. I need my licence to werk.

Likewise. Again. Aaaargh! So gave bike a quick polish for Cassington, cos I can't let Red98 get away with that! (although I'm guessing he's got the kind of bike that if you looked at it too long it'll probably burn your retinas out  :rolleyes :lol )
