On my regular 400 mile round trip from...........
« on: 24 November 2013, 18:42:03 »
.......Lincolnshire to Powys, the trip computer on my MV6 invariably reads between 30.5 and 32.5 MPG. :y :y

Well, I replaced the air filter before I went this time, because it hadn't been changed for yonks, and was as black as Obama's arse.

Result.......28.8 MPG. :'( :'( :'(

I suppose I should be grateful because back in the 'mists of time' I once owned  a 1976 Triumph 2500S.

It sucked through twin SU carbs and after a 'service'  ::) ::) with the colourtune, would return about 13 MPG.

At times..... ::) ::)

It does run very cold though and the temperature gauge barely gets off the stop in normal running. :(

Do they have to put you to sleep to remove your wallet?
