I had this once... E was actually before the E... contray to what I'm use to which is... E is 30 miles after the needle rests on the peg. LOL

But I did almost run out on the Ohio turnpike coming back from philly. Simply no service centers... went 25miles after the ultra said ZERO to empty... YIKES!!! It sputtered to the pump... put 5.95 gallons into my 6 gal tank.

A guy ran out of gas on my last real ride on the ZX-10, about 5 miles away from the nearest station. We rode in, chugged a Snapple (glass bottle), filled it with fuel and took it to him. We even got a paper funnel from the attendant. Worked great!

oh and Better half of Gman is RIGHT!

You could strap it to your tank and use it as a foot rest since you like to ride w/your legs streched out

...and thank youuuuu

the only problem there is... I can't stand riding for a full tank with out a break.... that's 170miles at freeway speeds 220 if I keep it at 60...

you saw mine... helps not having to lay the bike over...

but I did run into a case where I followed my GPS to the nearest gas station only to realize (too late to exit) I passed three... and the one it took me to was closed. I had to lay my bike over on it's side twice.... and when I filled up... my 4gal tank took 4.7 gal
