[QUOTE="101stpathfinder, post: 1425854, member: 18625"] BBG #64 for the year was completed this morning. I got terrible gas mileage and got a huge scare on my second gas stop when my bike started running out of fuel 4 miles from the gas stop. It slugged it’s way for the longest time I have ever endured. I was all but sure I would be pushing the bike. I removed the seat to find that the quick disconnect was actually pinched slightly open and letting fuel leak out. The winds were really bad also, but I knew with 40 miles under my normal range, that something was wrong. Cool night, closed out with light rain. The ride took about 21 and 1/2 hours, which is pretty good without a fuel cell. Only three more BBGs remain for the year. Next weekend, Thanksgiving day and December 21st for the “Winter solstice” ride (Completing the 4 seasons ride) Losing out on August has really left me riding into the (Unusually) cold season. Oh well ! Feels good getting down to the last few rides. [/QUOTE]
