Looks like Jimka was closest

Any pictures of the Triumph?? How did the dash display compare to the actual consumption??

**bonnietiler** · Thursday 1st October 2015, 20:03

I'll take some pics of the Triumph..its all in bits though..
The dash was showing 29.9 so not a million miles away

that's a consolation prize for Martybelfast

I take it the bike is a project to put back together, sounds interesting

I'll fire up the Box Brownie later for the pictures...Just as an aside the guy where I bought the bike used to own a Garage in the middle of nowhere all exactly how it was back in the 50's they sell classic cars now, he wanted the 850R... badly... even made me an offer and a delivery of the bike. So something is happening to the 850R on the general desire front?

Maybe he had a buyer lined up, the number of 850's is dwindling fast...

If you got 30.3, you weren't driving fast enough.

Dont panic when it drops to 88 as my 850R manual is about to go into hibernation for the winter. Its out of MOT and needs two new front shocks and a track rod end to pass anyway. ZZZZzzzzzz..................
