It seems I've shot myself in the foot, big time.
You see I managed without a bike for transport all my life, but chose to have one since (before I was allowed one aged 14) my youth.
My point is, I now own one at great expense, solely for the purpose of 'rides'.
I don't commute to work on it, I don't do family holidays on it. I just take it out, and ride around for relaxation.
Bearing on mind the UK bikes are comparatively better specified, with better warranties, breakdown cover etc, why would I care about fuel consumption?
If that were an issue I'd just have saved £8000 and sat at home watching YouTube.
You got that right!!(04-10-2014, 10:57 AM)pw363_imp Wrote: Thanks ferret. I feel better knowing I'm not the only one that keeps track of such things. I check mileage on every tank on every bike and save receipts til end of year to calculate overall mpg for the season and total miles and document my findings in owners manual.
You and Ferret have too much time on your hands...lol....
