Ran the monster out of gas  [bang][thumbsdown]...fortunately, I was a half block from the station I was trying to make it to. [thumbsup]

Speaking of gas, how much useable fuel is in a monster like the wife's '06 620?  I went 193 miles between fillups on it and put in 3.41 gallons - fuel light had been on for a while.  The specs show 3.7 gallons - all usable?

Say... how many miles do you get on reserve with your S2R?

I got about 21 this time, but that includes significant 0 mph time ([bang]) on Rockville Pike and the Beltway on the way over to College Park.

Is that with a swollen tank?

I can fit about 4 gallons in my metal tank, I guess the plastic looses some due to wall thickness and pump + filter being inside.
First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me--and there was no one left to speak for me.

This tank was new in the fall and doesn't appear swollen (yet :'(). The nominal volume on the tank is 14 L (3.7 US Gal), but I got a bit more than that in it yesterday when it was empty...still well under 4 gal though.

I should mention that I've see it go as far as 27-29 and still not run on empty before if I wasn't in stop and go traffic...and not hooning it up too badly.

Got married yesterday.  Now i'm on my honeymoon at an all-inclusive in Mexico at Playa de Mujeres till Monday.  The wedding has been so much planning that I have barely been riding this season.  Hopefully now that I am done with all this craziness I can actually ride with some folks.  I wonder if they rent dirt bikes down here, hmmm.....

Now that's commitment.  Married, on honeymoon and still monitoring the forum.

Skipped over to Rogue States for lunch.  Another burger joint joins the elite ranks among my taste buds.  Good stuff over there and nice selection of beers.
