[QUOTE="101stpathfinder, post: 1048079, member: 18625"] As said before, your fuel should not be an issue. I travel 80mph on rides and plan fuel stops around the 250 mile mark. When your reserve kicks in and you see your OD start counting backwards, you still have plenty fuel. I usually run it at least 30 miles more. 40 is still comfortable. 55 with 2 up is trouble and 60+ is pushing your luck. I have done -73 without running out, but I would not recommend it. Know your tank before hand by carrying some fuel and keep extending your miles on reserve until you feel comfortable with the mileage attainable. Consider the variables and be aware of your consumption rate. 300+ miles on a tank IS possible but not likely at the speeds you want. All the above is based on Highway travel- The urban fuel consumption is totally different. [/QUOTE]
