What did you do to your bike today?

How!?I normally fill up when the light starts blinking at 150 miles but there wasn't a petrol station to be found the other day so ended up hitting just under 180 before brimming it although the light hadn't even gone solid so there was still another few miles in it.

Well I'm sitting on 310km and the reserve indicator has only just come on on my CB400 this morning, will probably fill up tonight - I get 200 miles from 16-17 litres with no issues at all. Although it's not that impressive for a 400, I know.
56mpg over 6000 tracked miles on fuelly.

Yeah it's still good enough to do the weekly commute on one fill so I can't complain.
Guys in the office with their little Fiesta STs and the like still look at me like I'm mad when I say I spend less than £20 a week on fuel.

Keep to the speed limits honest officer 
Worst part is I see the top part of 32-33mph commuting, where in theory I don't need to get out of first gear...
Its wearing thin now, I am talking to a garage about getting some custom link pipes made up so I can run a normal can for much improved MPG with a decent remap.

K5's don't know any other throttle position and the sound of that Yoshi Tri Oval on Fireskull's K5...
Conks out? I have a flashing and solid light fuel warnings, never been caught out yet.
I used to see 55+ on my old 750 with a remap so I know once I get a remap sorted the 1000's will get decent mpg again.
Saying that when I did the run up to Isle of Man a few years ago with standard headers and standard Yoshi it was about 45mph, running base PC map, so again with a proper map I think it could see 50ish?
She loud, under 4th gear its still so loud that it can make my ears bleed even with earplugs in...
But I want to do some track days soon so I need to make a quiet can fit these headers.
