(pushing my Drifter is not my idea of how to spend a sunny summer afternoon) If you plan to test your reserve, I strongly suggest packing a gallon of gas in a Jerry can. I have often planned to do just that, but always forget to take along an extra gallon of gas. I did get caught way between gas stations in Montana once, and rode a little more than 50 miles after the low fuel light came on. Good luck with it, if you decide to check it out, post your findings...
Regards and such,

I was expecting to put in around 4 gallons when I filled up but after 3 times it is almost always the same 3.2 gallons. With me getting around 45 miles per gallon that would mean that I could go at least 65-70 miles more with the reserve without fear of running out.
