Diapers?

[retread]

Hey, Lamont, there's a write up in Rider this month about a guy that put a trailer behind his BMW K1200LT with 75 gallons of gas in it and rode coast to coast, nonstop! Don't think I'd want to do it, the nonstop part, but the auxilary tank in the trailer would sure give us more range. He got 2,232 miles on one fill up. 10 more in a Bushtec would give a Spyder at least 250 miles more range.

35 hours without stopping and then the poor guys gets pulled over before he hits the east coast because of a bad trailer light.

I get 150 + miles per tank in 100% city riding and can get around 180 miles per tank in 100% highway riding. I do like to keep the long highway stretches to about 2 hours, especially after the first 4 or 6 hours.

35 hours without stopping?
That would have to deserve an Iron Butt award! :bowdown:
