Reserve?
Yea I almost learnt about it the hard way. I rode the TT up from Wellington to New Plymouth. I rode past a petrol station thinking that I should get more fuel so I can see how many KM/L I can get out of it. I still had the comment from the last owner that īt almsot as a full tank in it". So I kept going thinking, she'll be right! What a hassle that almost turned into. In the middle of no-where the bike coughs and splutters. Shyte, should I turn about and go back to that servo? I changed to reserve (it works on the TT) and kept going, but at a slower rate with no heavy acceleration. I passed a few villages but they all had no petrol station. I was really starting to think that I was going to run out and start pushing when I saw the water tower in the distance. Phew I thought, Foxton is close so I'll not have to push far. Anyhow I cruised into Foxton and just as I noticed the green BP sigh, the TT made another cough and died. I rolled the TT into the servo and filled up. Rather relieved that I'd managed to fluke it right to the bowser.
Those who insist on perfect safety, don't have the balls to live in the real world.
