What have you done on your bike today?

I had a jeep cherokee once, had to multiply the dash figure by 1.2 to get proper mpg 😁

Whilst in the US, I had a Jeep Grand Cherokee with a modest 4.7L V8 petrol engine, if you gave it a slam accel going up the freeway on-ramp near work, the instantaneous MPG display would proudly show 1 mpg, or sometimes 0 mpg for quite some time.

(You can thank me for next weeks hot weather later(y))
 
Went for a blast - ended up behind 2 motorbike cops…for about 8 miles…only got separated at a set of lights outside Preston. I could’ve gone past at a couple of points but didn’t want to flaunt my number plate. At one point I pulled up alongside one at a big motorway roundabout. At that point I remembered my full black visor. Cop wasn’t bothered and gave thumbs up.
It was actually pretty good for a change - they can hustle those monsters through roundabouts.

The only proper trained traffic corp in Ireland are the bike cops ... from experience they are hand picked bat shit crazy bike loving fuckers so they can't be outrun 👀 but also not the worst to other bikers 👌

Mine was the 2.5 litre diesel - still not very economical 🤣
 
Saturn 5.webp

5.1 inches per gallon!

But it did have a 3.87 million gallon fuel tank.

Even made a KH750 look economical!

Proper!
 
Today i rode the HD to Mcdonalds for a breakfast muffin then on to Sammy Millers for Harley Davidson day.:) I didn't stay for to long because it was starting to get silly hot so went for a ride to cool down.
Home now because it really is hot when you get off the bike🥵!!
I ended up getting an ice lolly from the garage next to Loomies, there's Caffeine and Machine across the road that used to be The Meon Hut pub. It's been there for about a year now and they have events in there that is mainly super car stuff, there was a load in there today.
Not my cup of tea (see what i did there?;))

In the first pic, that tank looks like it has seen a bit of hammer action ! 🔨🔨🔨😂😂😂
 
Nice little blatt through Northumberland and the Scotch borders. Tea break at Rothbury then a right royal rip up to Carter Bar, down to Bonchester Bridge and Hawick and down the A7 back into Englandshire and home via the North Pennines.
Marred only by finding the petrol station at Longtown closed for refurbishment/redevelopment so the planned back-track through to Newcastleton and Kielder was out of the question as I'd have run out of gas before I got to Hexham. Had to divert through Brampton for fuel at Alston.
Still a nice ride. Rear tyre nearly shagged ready to order a new set tomorrow in time for next weekend.
Resting here for arse and smoke break on a bridge somewhere between Longtown and Brampton.

Got hone at 6:30 in time to buy me best pal a pint in the pub for his birthday. But he was already 12 pints of Guinness to the good so my contribution was not required. All good and so ends another fine day in the lovely north east.
