Auxiliary fuel tank

[R3Tex]

the norm is taking a break every 75 to 100 miles so trying to ride for 200 miles is spending over 3 hours in the saddle and thats not normal or comfy for the rider or passenger so good luck on wanting to redesign the bike with that type of riding in mind so no thanks not interested .

Some of us actually ride further than the next bar...just sayin

1. I ain't that old yet
2. Quickly

I apologize...that was an asinine response. I tend to think in Texas terms. Here's the thing...100 miles to me is just over an hour. I can still hold my water for an hour or so. In the more congested eastern part of the country it may take you guys a lot longer to cover 100 miles. I wasn't trying to flick $hit, but we have posers around here that think 100 miles is a long day...I'm sure you have seen the type

As an example...I've ridden down to Luckenbach to get a beer on a Saturday afternoon...198 miles one way...drink a beer and ride home.

Nope...cast iron bladder. When it gets full it just backs up and I spit it out the side while trying to not get it on my Harley jacket

I have thought about this a lot. In my opinion it needs to be a purpose built tank that refills your main. In other words when you are streaking through the middle of nowhere and your gas light comes on you just hit a button on the bars and it dumps 2 or 3 gallons in the main tank. That way you always work off the same gauge and low fuel light so no guessing about when you will run out of fuel. I have threatend to build this system more than once...maybe it's time...

This is my thought as well. So far, I haven't adopted it but I do carry an extra couple of gallons when I take my long trips just in case there is a gas shortage when I need more petrol. I have had to use the portable gas only once in the last three years, but I was indeed glad I brought it along. I had not considered that gas stations closed at night on that trip and found that brahma does not give credit when the tank dries out.

i am a little confused if two people were traveling at the same speed in different places would it not take them the same amount of time to travel the same distance????????

If a tree falls in a forest , would anybody hear it ?
