At the weekend had a run from perth(scotland) over to Applecross via fort William on friday then Applecross to ullapool on Saturday, back from ullapool to perth on Sunday
Just over 500miles for the weekend bikes behaved well (my mates gsx1400 did eat its back tyres so heading home was slower lol)
The part from fort William (over night stop at Applecross) to ullapool was 225 miles and I did on 1 tank of super E5 petrol (and the bar was flashing but not the pump so could have gotten maybe 240 miles)  :cheers:
only a slightly modified gsx1400
oh and a standard one too

Sounds a great ride, damn good roads there.

Why not fuel up at Applecross though? last time I went there was a petrol station by the junction from the pass.

Didn't need fuel at Applecross was only 1 bar down by there are Fort William .
We could have stopped at several petrol stations but it did really well and we weren't going bonkers but also weren't hanging about.
I think I could have got 245miles on saturday 🤔

I seem to get 200-220 before the first bar flashes these days, I must be riding too slow in my old age  :lol:

Hope the Op goes well for ya Roo & you have a speedy recovery.  Might be a while before you can mount the beast again though,      or ride a bike . . .  :happy1: :cheers:  :onya:

Took the bride for a day out on the scooter. She reckons it's been nearly 18 months since we went for a decent ride. When I knew I had blood pump issues I didn't take her with me. Went to Ohope, lovely golden sand beach. White Island was having a good belch, it's an active volcano about 30kms off the coast. Great day out, sunny but cool. Nice to be out on the bike again.
Another great day on the right side of the grass.😎

We did 430kms round trip MtCotton to Woodenbong pub (new owner keen for more business from the motorcycle fraternity) highly recommended by us, via Queen Mary Falls Boonah etc.
Incredible weather great company and enhanced our pothole avoidance techniques.
