Gee, I wrote an entire response bases on your riding a gz250 than realized you aren't talking about a GZ. Still I just can't imagine you riding anywhere so wide open even in Texas where you can't find gas after hitting the reserve. On the GZ I can ride another 66 miles after it calls for reserve but I do keep a eye on the trip odometer and start looking for a place to refuel at 190 miles. Thanks to the 9:1 compression ratio the bike is happy with any gasoline legally pumped in the USA. At my age I find it necessary to find a pit stop long before the bike.
