Thanks for the good wishes chaps

Currently less than 48hrs 'till the big day

Re the fuel cons website, yes it very much depends on the rider but at least it's a guide to what some riders are getting under real use, if enough people input you get a possible range and a working average.
Certainly I generally get around 60(uk)MPG from the Skorpion in mixed useage.
As for the US/proper gallons, dunno, will probably look closer after this week is done(!)
