I think they only had 91.  Anyway, I have arrived home safely.

[Langers]

I'm pleased to hear that Bodo as there has been a head on in the fog between a motorcycle and heavy vehicle around Koongawa - that can't be good. Single rider so JD & Chippy should be fine. Anyone heard from Terry?

If you are coming through the Riverland tomorrow, want a coffee break in Berri or Renmark?

We can catch up for a coffee at Renmark around 19:30-11? We should be passing through then.
Let us know where tomorrow morning if possible.
Thanks

You're starting out in the cold of the early morning.

I am still 50 ks from Renmark, so that is a bit too early for me. Will have to try next time.

Ride safely Gentlemen, and others..

[West Aussie Glen]

Finally tallied up my figures for BR 24 and compared them to BR23
                                           BR23             BR24
Total kms                            2,901              2,905
Total Fuel litres                     165.8               168.52
Total Fuel Cost                    $401.06           $407.11
Av Fuel Consumption km/l   17.50                 17.24
                          l/100km     5.72                 5.80
I used the GL1800 for both BRs.
I purchased the Wing as a Honda Australia demo with 1,730 kms on the clock in Sept 2015.
Somewhere on the way to Border Village it clicked over the 151,730 km mark.

Interesting figures Glen, not bad for a heavy bike

[Jdbiker]

That is really good mileage for a heavy 1800cc bike, on this border trip my 750 cc Transalp only averaged slightly better at 18.5km/litre, however this was with pillion and heavy load.

[West Aussie Glen]

Yes I am happy with the figures, with a25l tank it will certainly get me further than I want to ride without a stop.
I have fitted one of the early Henry Final Drives ( https://henrysfinaldrive.com/ ) and that along with a taller car tyre on the rear has dropped the revs by about 500 rpm to 2,500 rpm at 110kph.
Before the changes when riding with my mate, Steve, from Victor Harbor on his Indian I would always use about a litre more petrol than him and now I use about a litre less.
I am trying to convince Henry to make one for the ST1300. Hope to catch up with him in LA at Christmas so will twist his arm.

[Bodø]

I think this can be unstickied now.  Give me the power to o it and I'll do it myself.

[ruSTynutz]

You might have to sweet talk a Mod or Admin, Bodø...

Maybe offer a bribe? 

[Shillas]

Done -
