i fill up around 100mi every time and here is why. a long time ago (a whole nother life ago) i had a 47 knucklehead chopper with a peanut tank, i ran outa gas with that and was in the middle of farm country without a house or help anywhere to be seen. soooooo i started pushing, after what seemed like 20mi (i am sure it wasnt more than 2 or 3) i stopped at the end of a driveway which was about a 1/2 mi long and just sat down on the seat to tuckered to go another step. it wasnt long and mr. farmer came along on his tractor and went and got me a gal. of fuel, he told me of his younger days of rideing and when i offered to pay him he said no thanks, just try not to ever let it happen again, i told him he could count on it, as i hoped i would never have to push a bike that far again. so to this day i fill up around 100mi. always shut the gas off with a little blip of the throttle to let the floats rest, and nowadays carry a cell phone hahahahahaha
