That's a big auxiliary tank..... but diesel.....

Could you imagine how far a diesel bike could go on that much fuel....... might need a trailer for the tank though.....

It's a 600 mile round trip for me which means starting with the half tank I have I will need to refuel three times on the road. What chance of that when I've just been by my locals and the 24 hr Asda is closed and the Tesco and BP both have queues of more than 100 vehicles.

It's the typical British problem, I don't need it now but I'm going to get has much of it as I can. My neighbour whose car hasn't moved for several weeks queued for 2 hours at Asda for fuel.
Now today's RTE I need fuel to get there first problem of the day.

I'm out, can't get motivated with the prospect of fuel queues. Hope you guys find enough fuel without too much difficulty and enjoy your day. I'll raise a glass of Black Velvet at midday in celebration of those that made the trip.

I'm raising a glass and drinking the black stuff through the white stuff in recognition of the efforts made.

[JohnR]

A goodly turn out, petrol forecourt crisis, what crisis? I'm thinking I should have made more of an effort!

Well done all, see you on the next RTE
