Tommy xs Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Looking forward to this, I’ve been wanting to do it for as long as I can remember, it would be great if we could meet up with Blackhat & Jimmy at some point on our travels Drewpy is coming with me to Oban now, originally he was heading back to Perth last day but now we’ll be in Oban from Thursday 12th till Saturday 14th if anyone fancies meeting up let us know 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was cruising miles too, not blasting. Fast A road work drops the tank range into the 70's. Mind i have seen tdr's on the TDR forum in Europe with fuel cans as part of the luggage. Suppose it is possible in theory. Something to think on in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
