Temperature ranged from 70-90 F, one short rain shower. I ran out of gas twice. I significantly underestimated the reduction in gas mileage I got fighting the strong headwinds we rode in most of the day. Dave gave me some gas but he was low so we wanted to make sure he could get to the gas station. Well we guessed about 4 oz. on the short side. The second time I ran out I was two miles from gas. I was impressed with the offers for help from several motorcyclists and a couple of people in cars. The whole process used up an hour of time. My tank is advertised as holding over 6 gallons, but I can tell you there is only 5.3 gallons of it that can be used.
Good to know about the tank Ron. I've never run mine dry. JH
