HOLLAND GENERAL INFO.

[Pirate]

Please find below some general info regarding cost and other important stuff. Please accept my apologies if preaching to the converted. A big thank you to both Brian for his fuel data and to Jan for the up to date fuel cost.

As like last year I plan to use one card for the fuel and another for food/drink, yep I've added drink to it this year as I know you guys love a few beers in the evening

FUEL

The distance travelled this year is around 820 miles. In my calculations I have made a couple of assumptions;

Most of the group will be have standard MT tanks holding around 11 litres.
Due to some of the machines not liking the local brew last year we will be using Super Unleaded. Currently this is at 1.71 euros per litre = £1.30. Normal unleaded is £1.20 per litre.

I've added a couple of extra litres in case of any extra miles. This comes to £115. per bike.


Can you please send payment no later than Monday 27th June. My details are;

Paypal. simon.sharding@blueyonder.co.uk

Bank. Natwest. Acc No. 41737237. Sort Code 56.00.05 Ref Holland 2016

Glad that bits over always hate asking for money.

SPARES

I will be carrying the following;

3x front inner tubes
Jump leads
hose for brake bleeding and fuel exchange
Multi meter
Drive Chain and links
Brake pads
Centre Stand springs

I am using Euro 95 in the MT 350 . The prizes of Euro 95 are 1.51 euro a liter(Shell Expres,firezone etc. pumps). V-Power wil cost you 1.61 euro a liter (this is octane 97).
Every two rides i put V-power in the MT 350.
In the netherlands you do not see much petrol pumps with 98 octane petrol. You see much pumps with V-Power97 octane(shell), premium petrol (esso).
Firezone pumps have 102 octane petrol.(It wil cost you 20 eurocents more than euro 95 petrol a liter).
The prizes in the netherlands are 1.51 euro a liter (euro 95). V-Power(octane 97) will cost you 1.61 a liter.

We also have the new club spares box to collect from hounddog. I'm sorting that out.

One thing we had already decided because of the issues last year is not to have a food kitty this year. This was discussed in your absence.

Fuel kitty is fine however and works well.

Can someone tell me what the spares chest is and what it contains. must have missed something here.
