One cup of Tea
#1



Here my five cents worth, always changing miles to Km and Gallons to l I'll let you dudes have a go at the conversions.
Yesterday left home at 1:36pm and rode to Stradbroke the took the Stradbroke - Gormandale Rd that included 11kn of dirt/gravel and two stops for milking cows crossing the road. Then to Traralgon South where I was lucky and had a cup of tea, no sugar no milk. Then Heyfield another lot of cows just out of town that how it is when your on the road at milking time. Then on to Maffra on to the Maffra - Stratford Rd and home at bang on 5pm.

Had one cup of tea, rode 189.6km and used $14 Aust on fuel @ $1.29 a litre thats 10.76 l in total.
Roads were all non highway with 11km of dirt/gravel.

Had to come to a stop three time as dairy farmers were walking their herds to the shed for milking.
No traffic lights and only roundabouts to slow me a little.
Should have worn the Nolan full face helmet as the Bell Classic 500 ( blue to match the bike) ensured the insect impacts were noted with a grimace.
2011, 12,000km
Thats all from me for the next few weeks.
Regards
