Fleet Update and Cat and Fiddle

The 2016 UK fleet is as follows:



BMW R1200GS Adventure LC
Range at max payload around 300 miles give or take a cappuccinno or two
Power/Torque 125PS/125Nm
Fuel consumption 50mpg 95RON Petrol
Max payload 220kg

Scott Sportster 30 XXL Bicycle with Aldi gel saddle cover
Range at max payload around 30 miles per Mars bar give or take a defribillator or two
Power/Torque 0.01 PS/1Nm
Fuel consumption 50mpg cabernet sauvignon
Max payload ***kg

Skoda Yeti 2.0 TDI 4X4
Range at max payload around 600 miles give or take a comfort stop or two
Power/Torque 170PS/350Nm
Fuel consumption 50mpg smelly old diesel fuel
Max payload 645kg

Important note to my stakeholders past, present and implied:  Various third party financial institutions own all of these vehicles.

In other news:

I rode to the Cat and Fiddle Inn on a proving run to find it closed down and an empty car park.




All is not lost as on googling today I discover new management may have taken over! I need to go and take a look.

TTFN.

  1. How and when did the bicycle happen? Roland has an Aldi gel saddle as well.

    1. I always knew Roland is a person of impeccable standards! The bicycle has actually been in the fleet some years but had not been ridden due to my back injury.

  2. All three vehicles with disk brakes.

    1. Well spotted my dear Franconian friend! The push bike does not, however, sport ASC, ABS, bla bla , or any other electronic aids except some very cheap Aldi sourced Chinese flashing LED lights.

  3. Pretty nice looking stable for the UK.

    I like the 'give or take a cappuccino or two' statement.
