Just to mess with a riding buddy I will see how long his butt can take it before he pulls next to me and points at his tank or butt.

Normal ride to the mountains for a day for me is 400 - 500 miles.

Have done past 700 in one day though. Didn't care for that too much, food poisoning on top of it didn't help.. The date was Aug. 8th 2005.. one of the worse days of my life.. buddy also got a wreakless for 83 in a 55

What bike are you riding?

Me and Tommy did damn near 800 miles from the northeast to GA in a straight shot...we stopped once for actual food other than that it was all gas and go's...

By the foruth or fifth gas stop i was begging my fuel light to come on...I got almost 160 out of a tank on one run we had from gas station to gas station...I was proud of her that time...damn near 40 miles to the gallon...I average 34 to 36 on a good day.

I didn't read all the posts but I assume like most others I can go through a whole tank comfortably.... On the Buell that meant about 180 miles of reasonbly hard riding.

Honda Blackbird. Has a 6.34 gallon tank.

I can behave and get around 42 - 44 mpg, or if I stay in the twisties for a while it drops to about 20 mpg.

Its kinda weird to see the gas guage blinking at me with only 115 miles or so on the tank. but it has been known to happen.

I can easily ride a tank of gas out of the M109-R with no ill effects. It has a range of about 150 miles depending on how I treat the throttle. I've ridden about 450 miles in a day before and I'd say that is probably my limit.
