Subject: Re: Average costs for the @/1000km


Dear Stephan

You miss something very important. Fuel is a key position !
If you put lead or unlead fuel (big question on the @!!!!)
and if you're average is 100 Km/h or 180 Km/h :-(  on autobahn
If you're consummation is about 8 l,
 for 1000 kms you need 80 liters of fuel.
Now make an addition with (80 * 1,6 DM = 128 DM) with your 60 DM.
That's increase by 3 your 60 DM.

Also taxes and your insurance policy need to be include.

To conclude, the bike is a very expensive means of transport
but the pleasure (that's why we ride) is all over that.
