I'll be carrying an extra gallon of gas in the trunk on my bike for anyone that may need it. I will also have a few extra parts and tools on hand if anyone is in need. Hopefully this will help with any issues that may develope . "Addie" is always there to keep us on our toes

Special Fuel Concerns

For those planning to come :
On Specials Note 155km is about 96 miles so just inside you magic 100 mile tank capability.
This area is refered to as the Near North as it is the bottom edge of Northern Ontario, http://www.ridethenorth.com/

If anyone has a bike that can't make the 155km (96mi) stretch, We can plan an addition quick stop for those that need it. Most Specials don't turn on the reserve light until 170kms (105mi)on an average running Special.
Then there is the reserve capacity as well.

The Special tank holds 15 litres, the equvilent to 3.9 us gallons
155 kilometers equals 96 miles.
The Specials should not be in danger of running out of fuel after running 96 miles. There are other fuel stations along the way other than the scheduled ones.
