Now that's bravery for you :thumb
Me?  I wouldn't be game enough to admit to something like this, although I did manage to put my shirt on backwards last week :grin (I was in a hurry)

That seems like a lot of fuel for that distance!?  I had my bike out to 410kms and still had 7 litres left. You must have cranking it on a bit.. :-((( :-(((   :wink1 :grin

Thats my standard commute fuel usage, on a steady trip I would be just getting the light on at that distance.

That's assuming the whole 28 litres is available.  In the ST13, I reckon there is one litre unusable, after taking it through to the limit twice and only needing to add 28 litres.  I do carry one litre in the RH pannier.

I hope the whole 28 was available Biggles, the bike is way too heavy to push...

I dont want to know that is was running on an emptying fuel bowl.

When I first got mine I'd usually get around 380 to 400kms until the fuel light came on for the to/from work thing and that would be for around 24 litres

I refuelled today at the Regents Park BP on the southern edge of Brisbane.

I was just looking at my docket as I entered it in my spreadsheet and noticed they charged me $1.589 per litre being ULP 95.
The odd part is, I distinctly chose the yellow pump handle which was clearly marked "ULP 91".
I just rang the servo and they said that some of their yellow handles deliver ULP 95.  Quaint!  I told him it's a misrepresentation.

If I wanted to get Bolshie about it I'd have a go at BP, but we're only talking about a dollar here, being a motorcycle.
It's still on the nose.  I expected better of BP.
