Looks like an invasion of Iran will have to be soon in order to keep your tank full....
It may be that your whole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

But it's light, he's picking it up with just a finger and thumb......scott02464 wrote:I just been looking at early fireblade tank pics and if I'm being honest there's not a massive difference....
The bottom of the tank is hollow mate as opposed to a flat piece of steel.
Here's a pic of it before I got it painted.
It's a strange one, just wish the guy I bought it from could have given me more info!
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

It costs the same as two fuel stops mate, without spending twice as long at the fuel stationlloydiecbr wrote:Well done shame it costs so much to get that many mile between fill ups

Re: Me petrol Tanker pics!
This is brilliant!
Last bike was a 954 blade and being sensible on a run you got near 150 before the red light.
Making steady progress 100-110
Yesterday the light came on the storm at 61 miles
Took 11.55 litres! 24 mpg.. Madness. Mind you there has been a bit of faffing about, lots of short journeys and a cold idle prob which hasn't been sorted so over use of throttle and choke probably not helping.
Gis yer tank mate!
