Must be past your feeding time....you're rattling your cage bars again....

pretty decent prices and all....

- March 06, 2013, 11:40:42 AMOn our western USA tour a few years ago, I learned quickly to fill up whenever I got the chance. Even on the interstates there are long stretches without fuel available. My GPS really helped in that respect... it allowed me to find those sometimes hidden fuel stops.

- March 05, 2013, 21:21:05 PMJust a word of waring for tourists coming north, some back roads and secondary highways have no fuel for about 200kms.......on those trips I am going to get a couple of small bottles for fuel just in case....not all of them are signed either.

- March 05, 2013, 18:25:22 PMOh,I see PC....I've never been out west so had no idea.Makes since when you mentioned the desert,though.I'm thinking about just carrying a half gallon for those oh s!!? moments 
Ther's been a number of times that I was riding and just enjoying life with not even thinking about my fuel consumption.Before I knew it I was reaching down for the reserve switch.

- March 05, 2013, 18:16:17 PMThat's more of a concern out west. There's places in the deserts out west where there isn't anything for many miles.

- March 05, 2013, 18:14:05 PMare those in the store and do we make money off them?
That's a good question,Ratman.I've never thought about having a fuel issue before being there's gas stations everywhere,here in NY.Probably wouldn't be a bad idea to carry extra fuel for those long trips out of state just in case,though.
