That can be a bit tricky in areas around here, especially small towns that may only have 1 gas station, and maybe no premium at that. It has happened to me before. A bit bigger tank might be nice.<br />BTW, that new profile pic of you is awesome!<br /><br />Jimbocpa3485https://www.blogger.com/profile/00031439889267356735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2259595163018451877.post-86791251346431132792012-08-09T23:18:16.662-05:002012-08-09T23:18:16.662-05:00cpa3485/Jimbo:

I can't imagine having a small tank and have to fill up all the time.

But it had 2 gas tanks, over 35 gallons in total if I remember correctly. At todays prices it would have been a ridiculous amount of money to fill up both. Max hold about 1.9 gallons, my Subaru about 14 gallons. I really consider it fun to get gas on the scooter.cpa3485https://www.blogger.com/profile/00031439889267356735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2259595163018451877.post-89581579324487292632012-08-08T09:31:19.659-05:002012-08-08T09:31:19.659-05:00On my road trip I talked to a number of other driv...On my road trip I talked to a number of other drivers at gas stations and they often commented on the cost to fill up. In one case, their RV cost over $500 to fill up. I usually just agreed with them and mentioned that this is just one benefit of riding. No negative comments from anyone...<br /><br />Who knows what this guy was thinking.RichardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773834892715980735noreply@blogger.com
