Stats

Just one or two.

Allowing for the schoolboy error of not filling Ginny up when I got back home, she had 6 tanks full of fuel for the entire trip. We covered a total of 1243 miles door to door, at an average of 51.91 miles per gallon. The most Ginny covered before refuelling was 230.1 miles. I estimate, that she has a range of close to 300 miles, when cruising at 70mph. At one point, range and miles travelled was equal to 317 miles. I can't see myself stretching things that far, least not intentionally.

Whilst away;

  • I engaged reverse gear 5 times. πŸ˜€
  • I spent 12 hours in motion, on a ferry. ⛴πŸ˜’
  • I drank approximately 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺 pints of beer. 
  • I ate a wheelbarrow full of junk food/chips. πŸ˜‹
  • I watched 8 fabulous/exciting road races. 
  • I/we took a wrong turn about 5 or 6 times.
  • Grizzly had cod, chips and mushy peas for dinner 3 times!

My first trip away on Ginny was great. I'm still getting used to her, the bite of the clutch, the technology but that will come with each passing mile and trip I undertake.

So what's next for me and my Bavarian beauty?

In June/July, we are off to Assen in Holland, for the Dutch TT MotoGP weekend, with my brother and his Rocket III.

No sooner are we back from that, then the following weekend we are going on the Allied Memorial Remembrance Ride to Madingley American Cemetery near Cambridge.

Finally for now, in August Ginny and I will be travelling up country to take on the NC500 route, a circular ride around the highlands/coastline of bonnie Scotland. For those of you who like these blogs, you'll be pleased to know there is one for the NC500. You can view and sign-up for updates using the link below;


Longer term, Grizzly and I will be terrorising the Iberian peninsular in June 2019. That though, is all for now.

Once again, I thank all of you for taking the time to follow my/our adventures and look forward to having you along for the next. Don't forget to sign up for the NC500 blog and please remember, it's good to talk, so any comments you have on any of my posts are more than welcome, even rude ones!

Take care all.

Woody
