and because it's setup so that each side is separate... at 190ish... I gotta lean the bike on it's side to get the fuel to the petcock side... so it's kind of a secondary reserve...

then at 218 I gotta LAY the bike down... to let that last little bit flow over to the pet cock... so that's like tertiary reserve (dunno how much this last bit will get me... as I stopped 4 miles later)

still have about 20 miles worth of un useable fuel... but ehh... such is life.
