Discussion in 'Multistrada' started by Kirky, Jul 6, 2013.

  1. Ok, count me in. Riding up from a Sunny Heathrow.
    Hope breakfast and coffee is good.
    Sorry I advance for the noise
    LeoVince decat, open air box....Loud
     
  2. Look forward to hearing.....I mean seeing you guys :D
    Just about to get my kit on and be on my way, about 100 miles to Benson.......see ya later :)
     
  3. Fun ride, gorgeous weather, beautiful English countryside at its best, half a dozen Multis, good company - what more could you want? Thanks again Kirky.
     
  4. Guys,
    It was great to meet up with those of you who made it on the Benson run, brilliant to put some faces to names!!
    Incredibly hot, but a really fun ride all the same, with good company all round.
    Now looking forward to the next time, I'll have to leave the Mille in the garage for a bit, I'd forgotten how much fun the Multi' was to 'spin-up', if you know what I mean....
    Here's to the follow-on.
    See you all again soonish.
    Best regards:upyeah:
    :cool:
     
  5. Sounds like great fun. I couldn't make it coz I'm working waaaaaay up north, it's only 12 deg up here! Any photo's?
     
  6. Nice one Kirky mate.
    And thanks Paul for showing me how to navigate my clocks - although I'll probably forget soon.
     
  7. Thanks Kirky,

    Great route and the sun all the way.

    Good to see some new faces.

    I am looking forward to the next one.
     
  8. Yup....Kirky did it again :D .........niceone Ian....little less hot for the next one maybe?! (looking forward to doing the Benson/Buckingham route again ;-)

    We were chatting about fuel consumption at one point...........round trip 287.2 miles (inc M4/M5, A420 to/from the rideout):
    CONS.M 50.1

    .....sounds rather good doesn't it?!

    ....yes too good to be true!.....33+% error over ACTUAL figure of 35.7!

    See here re Fuelly.com ;-)

    Andy, I am shocked at 1) Instrument MPG inaccuracy and 2) 35 MPG? What were you doing man!

    I'm going to check mine next time - Instrument VS calculated to see if mine is that bad!

  10. .....keeping up with you! lol......I don't think the heat will have helped mpg ;-)
    It will be interesting to have some more CONS.M verses actual mpg calcs......I think the error will be much the same across the board.

    Email me the original camera photo file please ;-)
     
  11. I get better than that from my 848. Around 12l does 100 miles which is c38mpg. No wonder multis have such large tanks ;-)
     
  12. Dry weight 11 kilos lighter, better aerodynamics........and less horsies to feed ;-)
     
  13. In the photo some people are clearly waiting to get away, while others are P/ssing about with clocks :tongue:
     
  14. :biggrin: .......you have a reply to your PM Paul ;-)

    Fuel consumption...........latest fill-up and the error between CONS.M and actual is 13% this time :weird:
