Just been out mate, lovely!! Here's a little conundrum for you. My 19l tank Storm has had the low fuel warning bar flashing for about 5 miles, got out on the bike taoday and my local garage had a queue out of the gates so took a chance. Did my normal route over to St Evenage which is about 15 miles and utilised the services of the great Lord Sainsbury to re-fill. With 130 miles on the clock and the bar flashing for over 20 miles the bugger still only took 14.75 litres!
Never mind really nice day and great ride. :thumbup:

Me too!

Wind was no problem, but floods were. Had to turn back twice due to impassable roads but apart from that was great. Just finished washing it. Only one 'moment' when I came across a broad expanse of water and to apply industrial style braking.

We've more rain forecast for tonight, so going to work tomorrow could be a challenge. The main A6 into Loughborough is closed due to floods. Might be a push-bike day.
