None but I there are still more of them with ideas and money than you may realize.

That's how it seems to work.

Even you aren't going anywhere that you wont see a gas station every 25 miles on this trip.

I reiterate my point, its a niche market

Well at least 2. Cave & I.

i probably wouldn't use it on a motorcycle but could be interesting for the quads.

I will let you know, even if I fill it and only test it.

I can assure you this much. Running out of gas, if it happens, only happens once in someones lifetime. Pushing a bike sucks.

LOL I coasted into a station once. I miss the old days of reserve. motor quits flip to reserve find fuel. easy system.

now days light comes on, eh, just means we're getting close, wonder how far I could go? hmmm light is really flashing now, wonder if it has another flash mode that is after this? CRAP nope that was the last flash setting LOL

mine even has a range thing on it now, I can tell you it is pretty damn close to right. LOL some people are slow learners.

Only time I've actually had to push one though was when I got caught w/o a license and he let me push it home. Old Hondas are heavy as hell!!! wasn't riding when he pulled up so I told him I had pushed it there to fuel up, girl in gas station was a friend and vouched for me that it was true. seriously I think he had the last laugh as he followed me 3 miles home.

My point was, how many harleys are taken into areas that dont see a gas station for 200 miles? That number is probably very few.

You have clearly never ridden through Kansas...

But, I do understand what you're saying.

Fuck flipping to reserve. I hate that shit.

When I had carb problems last year before I found a vacuum screw was missing.... the bike died about 1.5 miles from my house in my neighborhood. I ran the battery down trying to start it, so I said fuck it, and pushed it uphill all the way home. :bash:

:lol: believe it or not, there are parts of this country where you can drive for 200miles and not see a gas station.

How is it a bad thing to be prepared?
