XS East 14

[madmax-im]

hi BNE,
HowIi wish i could do 250 miles. Even with the big tank I only manage 150 miles 250Km. But then I am never in economy mode. Either chasing you and others through the twisties or hauling my fat arse and luggage down the interstate in a big rush.

sorry Phil those numbers are more from the ST1100...your mileage isnt any better than mine (comparing your XS to mine) but you should have a greater range...I go on reserve at about 140 miles how much further than that i could go has not yet been established with me on Swampygirl. Typically 150 miles to fill up...so that averages out to 30 miles per gal...thats a little on the low side...but I'm never in economy mode either...

Now that you have that supertanker Phil..you arent the one doing the sweating anymore...Its nice to have the tank range that allows you to ride 250+ miles before stopping for gas...nearly as good as my ST1100's miles per tank (280-300)...

Hi Marty,
Let 'em sweat like you used to do to me.
It's amazing how far even a special will go when there is no gas station.
With a few extra cans we can rescue any who really do run out.

I'm in the habit of carrying an extra gallon of gas in my panniers just in case...

I'm guessing you're asking for route planning.
I'm planning on riding Scarlet, but i keep a gas can in my bag and i get about 40mpgs in the twistys.

Yeah George I like to keep the gas stops around 80 miles if I can, so the Special riders don't get nervous. I have a fairly good section that I thought had a gas station but looking on Google Earth it looks closed. That section turns into 100 miles between gas stops. This is not an unusual problem when planning routes in very rural areas.

I'll keep working on it. I have a couple of local scouts that are giving me terrific help.

well Marty ain't just a special person an your coming right.

hey we are ALL Special...

I won't know whether or not I can attend until the last minute. I'm not in a position where I can plan to come, much as I want to.

If you can share a room and split the price it isn't too bad.
