  All really important points if you live in the British Isles. The ones about falling asleep are valid anyplace, and one final note at that Iron Butt I'll wager you had the coolest looking ride there.

Over the weekend I learned a few more things about my Drifter..

The top speed is 107 mph..

If there is a really strong gusting wind the top speed drops to 90 mph..

I can get as much as 120 miles on a full tank if I ride at about 50 mph.

I can get 70 miles on a full tank if I ride flat out all the way.

Fuel stations in Scotland are either grouped together or about 100 miles apart.

The police stations in remote areas of Scotland carry an emergency supply of petrol which they will sell to you.

When you fall asleep on a drifter it can drift out of the motorway lane..

If you fall asleep four times the car behind you will drop back about 500 yards..

You can do the Iron Butt on a drifter but not if you keep to the speed limits..

John.
