Big boo boo........

So, I'm out shining on Scarlett this morning, and I noticed I hadn't topped off the tank. I like to keep it full in the winter. So, I threw on the leathers, and rode to the Speedway..........(that's a gas station for those of you who don't know)

Filled her up and took off...... Problem is, I ran a couple of gallons out of her taking the long, long, long way home dammit.

.

Guess I'll have to fill a can unless the temps stay a 45*.......

Ah...... that was nice.............

Ride on...........

EDIT. I would have kept going, but, had to get home and watch the COLTS whip up on the TEXANS........

Just remember tat you can't mix old and new, go for a long ride to empty her out first,
then fill her up.

I always have to top off with a can, even though there's a station barely a mile away. Don't put it away till the roads are salted, and ain't gonna salt the bike for a top off. If there wasn't any salt, I'd just fill it up at the station, take the long way home, and have to keep doing that all winter...
