[QUOTE="Allen_C, post: 1122129, member: 86444"] Norm, yes, you are correct. I know you have much experience with this and I appreciate your input. I have heated hear, she does not (yet), but will depending on the weather forecast. I am not set in doing this ride if weather does not look good - I do not want my first to be a miserable ride in rain or worse... 101, we have ridden 2-up and seemed to average about 45 mpg when cruising at 70 mph, but our test trip the weekend before will allow me to be sure! Even if we only get 225 miles per tank, we still need 3 fill-ups the first day but will need 3 thee second day too. As you can probably tell, I am a firm believer in "fail to plan, plan to fail." I will keep watching for additional ideas and suggestions...I am a sponge at this point!
