another question, why did you only get 150 miles on a tankfull? when I ran out the Bassa it was at 165 and I had burned the whole tank going about 90 on I-90
I think this falls under the 'any landing you can walk away from' category.
One perspective:You had to dramatically alter your travel and potentially endangered yourself. So, yeah, it's "runnin' outa gas".Another perspective:Your inherent maleness correctly interpreted the signs, devised a plan of compensation, successfully adapted to ever changing circumstances, and arrived under your own power.MOST IMPORTANTLY HOWEVERYou were not in a position to seek out help or encumber others due to a lack of foresight.In this light, you most certainly DID NOT rum outa gas!Todd.
Think of it as making the runway low on fuel in an airplane. Didn't crash and had just enough fuel to make it. ;-TGliderJohn
I put in 4.337 gallons and I think there was room for more - couldn't really tell - it's dark in there. 8)
I don't have an answer other than all in-town riding, second and third gear most of the time, maybe fourth every once in a while, and I don't think I ever fill the tank completely except when on-the-road. This is the first time I've ever run the tank to "nuthin'-but-fumes." I put in 4.337 gallons and I think there was room for more - couldn't really tell - it's dark in there. 8)
Good story...I call it not running out. Running out is when you have to call for help, or walk.Try sloshing the tank, sometimes there is a wee bit left. Best I have ever gotten out of my V7R is around 165 miles although some say the steel tank is over 4 gallons. I don't think so. Nice new cage! Enjoy!
