On the Road Again!

Today the miles to empty was down to 80 and so before we go away for a few days, I decided to fill the tank. The bill?  £130.62!!! It's £1.809 per litre.  Looking at the last few fill-ups using the Fuelly app, we can see that in June, in Spain we paid £1.165!!! Rip off Britain added to by Trump's War with Iran.

We don't need these people at our club. Following reports of unsavoury incidents during Saturday’s match, OASF would like to issue this statement.

Yes. I know. I shouldn't have... £22.50...

With it now being 47 days since we had a very light sprinkle of rain, and after the MoT I decided to ride to Dogs. Quite pleasant but still a lot traffic considering it's school holidays. The miles to empty was showing 14 miles. I detoured a little via Tesco and it look 18.12 litres to fill to the top of the tank where the baffle is below the filler cap. It worked out at 52.7 mpg. Down 2.5 on the last fill in November 2025!!!! Once at dog's I parked up. Only five newcomers had arrived this morning. Took no pix. Then as I was getting ready I found this cheeky little fellow.... Even Mr Baloo had turned his back.

143rd!!!

300th!!!! Oh my dear God. Must do better. 15565 kms in total for all the years. 555 for 2025.

Gave the old girl the quick once over. All the lights work and the puny horn peeps... A quick go over with Muk Junkie and the sheepskin glove, and then rinsed off with a low pressure hose. Tyres have plenty of tread and are pumped to the right psi. Brakes work. The waiting whilst it's in the bike shop is always the worse bit.... I went across the road to a hairdressers that has an attached coffee shop.  A nervous wait.  I  would see Vera wheeled into the workshop, then out again..... Finishing my coffee I crossed the road... Pass. It can't just be me that is nervous until they say "pass" and hand you the paper copy. I had a look at a big scooter they have. As well as Peugeot they now have a few different Chinese marques. This is the Zontes ZT368T-G   and it is pretty heavily specified for £5000 or so! From there I went back through Folkestone and along the coastal A259 home. And home.
