No problem! And don't worry, you didn't hold anyone up. =)
Btw, on the ramp from hwy 60 to 11 north I knew I was scraping my right peg almost the whole ramp. Turns out I was scraping it enough that the feeler broke right off the peg. Didn't think that could happen. Maybe the feeler hit a small crack or something in the road, I don't know.
You should have came with us. I don't know why you didn't. Was the meet up time too early for you?
no not at all, was actually unsure about going to the guns thing or riding.. so I made up my mind like late last night.. nothing againt the time or anything like that
Can you guys post the route that was taken? I rode around that area today too, from Pickering along Highway 12 all the way to Orillia (Highway 11). I didn't joined you because I didn't think I would last the whole 800 km's but I rode over 500 km with no problems today so I think next time I'll make it.
I wouldn't mind the route aswell.
Do you mind sending it to me as well? I wasn't able to make it as I was at the cottage all weekend but I may try and do the run next weekend if the weather holds.

i was in the area with some riders as well , beautiful day and ride ...i hope you enjoyed it andre (afoletreyu)... i think eshter run out of gas , so she had to get out of the highway early...
I think I'm going to exclude all Duacat's from my future group rides! Fuel light comes on at 150km's??? LOL! Bring a gas can then...

My blinking fuel gauge made me nervous, but it must have been acting up, because I still had 4 litters of gas left..
Anyway: 630 km yesterday on 19 litters of gas. That's 430 km on a 13 litter tank
. When the ride is not so "relaxed" as yesterday, I'm closer to 500 on a tank. That's no Ducati

i must say its the best fuel efficient machine i have ever seen ... i think it has to do with ur riding too although u were riding pretty faster than before .... how was the handling on the corners ? i think u can lean more on cbr250 than kawi250r , u got bigger rear tires at the end ...

Are you getting 500km/tank on the CBR250R?? I barely squeeze 280km on mine...250 and the blinking starts.

My vast riding experience and awesome skills are holding me back from answering your kawi/cbr corner-leaning question...

I'll check now the exact km/l on a relaxed pace, but 430 for sure.
I assume because it's not your first bike, when you fill it up with fuel you are filling it right to the top of the tank, not with the nozzle all the way in?
-Jamie M.
Yes that's correct. My first was a CBR125 which gave me around 300km per tank. This bike I fill with the nozzle out filled to the very top of the tank. I'll typically let the fuel light flash as I don't know how many kms I have until it runs dry. I wouldn't expect it to have another 120km in the tank at that stage...would it??
Your user manual usually tells you how many litres are left when the light comes on. Doing some math you can figure out exactly how far you could go. Me... I just put a small gas can in my backpack and go for a ride until it runs dry, then I REALLY know how far I have when the light comes on
