    Just petrol costs or inclusive of wear & tear, depreciation, insurance, tax etc....

    If just petrol you will need to know the mileage you will do (try AA or RAC websites for that), your bikes fuel consumption and the cost per litre you're paying.

    Divide first by second and multiply by third.

    Just use HMRC's guide rates, they're not far off on cars, **** for bikes though.

    Just looked and the nec is 97 miles away. Not sure where I got 80 miles from. I seem to remember an old girlfriend and something to do with Birmingham. My memory fades
