CBR1000F v 'Bird

I've been to Vegas a few times, and yes you may get away with a slapped wrist, but you don't say much to the cops if your on foot and they can catch you!!:bow::bow: in the UK you call a cop a dickhead and he tells you your going to get a fine, I wouldn't do the same over there!!:shooter:

Let me get this straight. If you get pulled over in the UK and call a cop a dickhead you'll be fined? In that case i'll have to make it worth my while. Me and about 300 million other Yanks. We may believe in the man upstairs but the man down here we make a point of screwing every chance we get. It's the American biker way and we don't give a shit...8rfl@

over here you get three months in the cooler for having a loud can, a small plate or a dark visor!! these coppers take no prisoners...they have a specialist SWAT team for taking down runaway bikes, they even use choppers to get ahead of you and lay a stinger down...(pops your tyres), then when they get you back to the jail house the fun REALLY starts......

Wow, now I know why we kicked the Brits out 200 plus years ago. And the tax paying public puts up with this crap? If the fun starts at the jail here, you get rich...lol

Stinger=Tac strip
Tyre=Tire

Is it true this is the highest point in the UK? Lake District - Scafell Pike at 978 metres or 3,208ft. That would barely qualify as a foothill in Nevada and I live in the Las Vegas valley at 2,700ft. Mt. Charleston is over 11,000ft and that's like 25 miles away. Great skiing too....

First, throw the bitch off the back or tell her to get her own sled. LOL Now, I take it you are serious about only getting 175 miles out of a load of fuel and that to me is unreal. I clear 200 statute miles (5,280ft per unit)just under the 6 US gallon mark meaning 128 ounces per gallon. Crusing at 75mph with no throttle play I get roughly 36mpg at that speed but if you bump it up to around 85mph I can almost hit 38mpg. At 85 i'm holding at about 4400rpm. Dang, 175 miles? If I am really jumping all over the throttle 175 miles would require 6.1 gallons as the mileage will drop to below 30mpg.

THe bitch dont ride with me anymore.

Get on average 42.5mpg to an English gallon

OK, this is great. Now I know why your mileage figures seem so high. The US gallon is 128 fluid ounces whereas the UK gallon is 160 fluid ounces. Thanks

 

[1BadBird]

That still doesn't explain why you are only getting 175 miles on a fuel run. Is a mile 5,280ft? At 175 i'll have 2 bars left plus the reserve.

Yes it is.

Carb bird so only 22l tank or 5.8 us gallons.

The 175 is 18l worth so another 4l left.

Looked up a Topo map of the area that shows it at 1,085 meters or 3,559ft. Thanks

 

[1BadBird]

The 442 is in reference to something? I know it as W30 or W31, which are both valued at in excess of 100,000 dollars usd.

There was I, thinking ben nevis was highest uk point, scarfell is highest English point.

OK, there it is. A US XX carries 6.3 US gallons. Still though, that only puts you to 195 miles at dry. I hit that regularly with more left. I went 223 last summer and just nicked on the fuel light.

Snowdon The highest mountain in Wales 3,5601ft (1,085m)

Scafell Pike The highest mountain in England 3,209ft (978m)

Ben Nevis The highest mountain in Scotland 4,408ft (1,344m)

it seems that Snowdon has shrunk since I went to school, well spotted Wolfie!
