suggestion for next experiment: can a woman EVER have enough pairs of shoes?

;D
Test subject so far says no. For even if you own all of the styles of shoes, you will never have them in all the colours.

Kursed: although a big tank is a luxury, when touring around the place the small towns have plenty of gas available..

I'd agree - 200 kms to the low fuel light is typically OK, although just barely. When we did the haul to PI for the WSBK my bike had the shortest range out of all of them (SV650, 749, Guzzi Griso and the M800) but we never had issues with finding places to fill up.

My M800 with a 14T hauling me around does a pretty consistent 200kms to the warning light - a little less if I spend the day up and down MQ pass or similar. If I put a 15T back on it, I'd expect that maybe would stretch to maybe 220kms on average.

So back to the low fuel indicator thing, there is a story that involves me, my M800, the RNP, waiting on the side of the road for the missus to ride down on the vespa with a jerry can..... well I'm sure you can work it out! Suffice to say, I don't trust the reserve either - the light comes on, I'm looking for fuel....

And they would have to be black ones, otherwise they wouldn't be long enough?

That is not something that would surprise me at Mole Creek.

(I did used to live in Tassie, and only know of that one. Plus there is a creek by that name in NSW, but don't think a town is associated with it).

There's always Black Charlie's Opening in Tassie...

I've always been a big fan of the set of geological units in northern WA called the "Crackatinny formation". I'm too lazy to reference it properly back to work's databases.

This thread is seriously getting jacked here though!

Jacking all over the thread talking about rocks (or getting rocks off), spreadsheets and statistical/analytical comparisons is disgusting.
