how i found my bikes range
on one of the legs during my vacation heading east out of red lodge, i sort of goofed. i found myself between gas stations and not sure if i would make it to the next town. with the low fuel light on and the guage showing empty and as the miles rolled by i kept repeating "30 miles to push, 25 miles to push.......". somewhere along the way i remembered i had an auto club membership and then relaxed. i could just call for gas if i didn't make it.
thankfully i made it to a gas station. i did 182.1 miles total. the street bob has a 4.7 gal tank and i filled it with 4.41 gal. a little close, but it ended well.
