mpg on motorways.
Just a quickie- what kind of mpg/tankrange can be expected with sensible long distance motorway cruising, say at a more or less constant 80 mph with gentle throttle openings?

I've just replaced my Azaro STs on my Duke as the rear got punctured. I had done a genuine 10000 miles on them and although they were barely legal at the front, the rear had another 1000 or more miles to go. A bit square but so's Steven Hawking, but he's gonna take over tha world as Davros soon. Any...

Not always, but check for signs of carbon deposits. My Duke has a clamp that is a bit like a glorified jubilee clip (although, as it's blessed by the Pope, and okayed by the Mafia it will cost 10x more) and this was clamping the pipe where it was split leading up to the rear cylinder. This was leaki...

For the sake of a few quid, you should really change it. Be sure to stick to semi synth or mineral for the ...

Filtering is legal in this country. One thing you can't do however, is to pass the lead vehicle when approaching zig zag lines for a crossing, that is, you must remain behind the car at the head of the queue in this circumstance. As long as you are filtering at a sensible speed, and not straying int...
