Just worked out my mpg... did 184 miles on 1 tank of fuel, (normally done at 150 miles) and returned 63.7 miles. This is my best yet and a bit surprising as it was a Hastings ride and I was riding her like I stole her. I have about 4 hours of footage to sift through, couldn't be arsed to sift through footage.

The only negatives of this year that I have not seen before (maybe I just was not present for them) people were stunting along the promenade, doing burnouts and donuts. The police presence observed but did not interfere, there weren't that many around so not sure if they could have done much safely. Saw a few ambulances racing off on blue and twos... The place was just heaving. but it was nice just soaking up the atmosphere and people watching as I ate my fish and chips.
