WDW on an 1199 / Tank Distance
I've just ridden to Misano and back again for WDW2012 with the most inspiring rider ever.

A 73 year old Scottish gentleman called Norrie, who only 3 weeks ago went and bought a new Panigale!

Poor 'Norri San' ran out of gas after around 120miles of "fast" riding but never got around to discovering if there is a 'miles remaining' display on the bike???

If anyone can help with the display modes or knows the full tank mileage - It'd be appreciated....

Here is a pic of our manky bikes on the ferry over the Rhine:

I'd have to junk that number plate carrier and get it closer to the tail unit

I wasnt keen about the plate mount either, esp when at some angles it obscured the rear indicators. but it stayed together better than the add on GB bracket that got hammered when the poor Panigale was ridden down a GOAT track!
