Default 2011 flhp missing fuel

I filled my bike In December for the winter started up the bike and drove it around noticed I am almost empty. Is there any place for this fuel to go or evaporate. Or maybe I used the bike and didn’t remember to add more fuel. I still have it in my mind topping it off up to the top that is confusing

Probably meant to fill it but forgot would be my guess. Is the bike stored inside a building? You'd likely have noticed the gas smell if it was leaking. Back in the carbureted days, I'd advise checking the oil for fuel, but not on the injected bikes.
If there's a leak, a tankfull will leave a yellow stain where it's exiting the system.

I too suspect you simply forgot that you didn't top it off before putting it away for the winter. It happens.

No, I don't think your tank evaporated all the gas, or that it dripped out without a puddle, or that someone siphoned it.
