[QUOTE="Shane, post: 49584, member: 97"] @red2kcbr, While I do agree that running out of fuel is less than desirable, and to be avoided, it seems that the solution stated above might, just might, be a little too conservative, and in some cases, impossible, unless you intend to carry extra fuel along. If the logic is to be followed, a bike that has had reports of 300+ miles on a tank (I've personally seen 284 once) that takes on fuel at 150 miles = twice as much fuel capacity than is needed. I remember the trips I used to take on a peanut tank 2.2 gallon equipped chopper. 70 miles @ 75 miles an hour was the best the old girl would do, but at least there was no fuel pump to risk damage to, neither was there a blinking gauge to make me nervous. YMMV, literally. Shane [/QUOTE]
