Everyone is different - some like to stop every hour or so - have a smoke, stretch that stiff back, chill and look around, while some like to crack on as far as gas fumes and nerves of steel will take them.
When you're on a long ride - planning your fuel stops is really important. I haven't ever had it happen but it must be a real pain to run out of fuel out on the road. Now here's my question -
Are there any legal or insurance issues to carrying fuel anywhere on your bike other than the fuel tank? Does anyone carry any extra fuel - a few litres whatever - in a strong secure container when you're going on a long trip and maybe can't be exactly sure of the next fuel stop - just as a back up?
Just wondering. It's not really an issue in Western Europe, or, I imagine, most of the USA - but with a range of 110-120 miles on my Sportster and a long trip coming up this summer the thought crossed my mind.
