It works out to be 17.1 kms to a litre. The XR at Condo was doing 8 something kms for a litre and I got 9.2kms for a litre on the old bulls biggest weekend :laugh:Back to the Tenere I should be able to get 20 to 22 kms for a litre ridden easy they reckon.

I found this posted on another site, seems north west of where we are going is a shit fight still. Oh well we are riding adventure bikes may as well have an adventure :laugh: :laugh:
“Things are a mess outwest”
If your planning on an outback trip soon, check the conditions, the roads are crap and dangerous. Is it worth the risk?
Quote:
The manager of Mungeranie Hotel on the Birdsville Track says roads in outback South Australia should be closed indefinitely until they dry out.The northern section of the Birdsville Track in SA was re-opened after recent flooding, but is closed again because of more rain.
Phil Gregurke from the hotel says the Track should be closed to all but essential travellers.
“I think what they need to do is declare all the outback area from Oodnadatta across to Cameron’s Corner to Birdsville, Mount Dare as a disaster area and just close the entire place down,” he said.
“If it keeps raining like this there is going to be a major accident and we’re always concerned about anyone travelling along these roads when they’re in this sort of condition.”
The Transport Department says the northern section of the Birdsville Track is again closed in SA but the southern section from Marree is open to four-wheel-drives.
The Qld side of Birdsville is no better
Who knows what that really means for us, maybe nothing maybe we will have to sell Bollocks virginity to get canoe home
will tell all when we get back TB
hope your support vehicle has some self recovery equipment aboard, their gunna need it?????
towing a camper van and with the ute full of equipment,it should be interesting :ohmy: :ohmy: :ohmy: :ohmy:the bikes will cream it.
That’s very true TB we are on adventure bikes and doing an adventure ride so it sounds like we’re not going to be disappointed.
I’m sure we don’t all get this oppotunity very often, a 10 day leave pass , a bike well prepared and the best country I know of to explore.
Who cares where we’re going as long as we’re going somewhere!!
Bring it on!!
