Really weird to see you driving around my backyard and even stopping at the EXACT petrol pump I use, at Bardon Mill. In fact, you could (had you known) have shaved off at least three or four miles in getting back to your tent from the petrol station, if you had turned right at the Melkridge dip and gone up the steep hill there. Easy when local, of course. I loved seeing this set of Northumbria rides, because I have been toddling around all of these roads for fifty years.
Its good to know there's more in reserve than you think , and you've set a good marker for those who have fuel anxiety as soon as they see the F mode light up ! The most I've travelled before I've found a fuel station is a paltry thirty miles, I was thinking I'm going to end up pushing this bugger , but there was obviously loads left in it! 😅 Cheers Mel
That's yet another enjoyable run, Dave; those roads look really nice. The muppet in the car was probably on his/her mobile... Fuel warning lights have the effect of causing premature anxiety. Mine came on during my last ride and, as it was the first time it had happened, I had no idea of the real available range as I haven't had the bike (Guzzi 750) very long. I dived into the nearest gas station and discoverd that there'd been at least a third of the tank left! Still, better safe than sorry. 👍
The fuel anxiety would have been unbearable for me!😱 . This is the one area where modern technology can help, advising where facilities such as fuel stations are located. Great scenery up there.👍
Wow! 75 miles on the ‘warning’ light is just a bit too scary. I’ve not taken my Hunter, also a 13litre tank, past 198 in total although I guess it could do quite a few more. Glad you made it!

Just think about fuel anxiety when 'They' start closing petrol stations as yet another move to get of the roads.

Not a part of the country I know at all, must make the effort to explore it myself. As always an enjoyable video,hope your well, cheers 👍
nice ride, nice roads. I too, suffer from fuel anxiety when I think I'm starting to get low.
Fuel anxiety starts as soon as it's half :-)
Hi that bloke on a moter bike, how is your new ivy going and great vid
No offence, but why do you keep publishing videos of Ivy when we know you’ve got a new bike ? Keen to see new footage 😊 cheers
Because he already had made the videos. Anyway - these are the best vids he's done because this is where I live and ride.
5:10 Ivy tackles the Nordschleife....
