Default Totaly empty gas tank filled up!!!

I had my gas tank painted. To do that I had to have the tank empty and baked in the sun for a couple days.
As you can see in the pic I put 3.528 US gallons with the fill up.
We still may have 3.4 US gallon usable as the book states.
BTW I walked my bike to the gas station 1/4 mile away!

Man that's some pricey gas. I thought 3.40/gal was bad. Sheesh. Well I can't wait to see the paint job.

The last bar on the fuel gague must flash with a lot of fuel left in it then. I filled yesterday with it flashing and only put just shy of 2.6 gallons in. I also fill up until it physically can not take any more, I rock the bike back and forth after it fills past the top and keep adding little bits until it's close to overflow to minimize stops.

It's probably no issue for the bike, but least the "rider" doesn't need to carry a scoop and plastic bags like he would with his dog.

Really a non workout as easy as it is to push. Forgot my MSF card and the gate guards let me push it to work a half mile. Wasn't even sweating by the time I got to the fire house. Wown't forget my card either, firemen are ruthless when it comes to tomfoolery. "Is that ... piece of .... already donezo? Should have bought a Harley Davison (Hardly Ableson)." Most of those guys were searching there wallets to make sure they had theirs if they were next to have their paperwork checked.
