Happened to me yesterday.... I want it to happen everyday lol:roflblack:hyea:

 

[Kraut]

Exactly what I was thinking- has affected my shopping runs on at least two occasions

This should make it crystal clear

We have a similar problem here in southern Minnesota. From my house to one of our local coffee shops is about 30 miles each way as the crow flies. On a motorcycle of any kind, it seems to be well over 150 miles round trip. We have studied it many times and just cannot figure out where the problem is. We will keep studying it until we find the answer.

Well......I'm glad I'm not the only one this happens to!!!! :yikes:

I have to go fill mine up with fuel tomorrow...
I wonder if it's possible to burn through THAT tankful; and fill it up a second time?

Today, I studied the problem in detail once again. Per Bing Maps, my favorite Kawasaki dealer is 30.4 miles from my home. That should equate to about 61 miles round trip. I tried it and my ODO showed 140.2 miles. I will keep looking to try and find out what the real problem is.

On a side note, a friend recommended a new Propad seat cushion. She has few problems riding but she felt that this pad really improved her comfort. She did 500 miles on her first day with the pad in really hot weather. I went to our local store (Harley) to check it out as I have several issues that limit my riding to about 20 miles before the pain becomes severe. I bought one of the Propads with the Tech Series cover and a gel pad built in. It was expensive but today I rode 140 miles and I am not overly tired or sore. I stopped a few times and got off of the bike for a couple of minutes each time. After the stop, back on and away I went. The pad worked great. Their website is www.propadinc.com. :yes:

:shocked: How many tankfuls of fuel, did it take to test out the Propad? :thumbup:

Thus far only one. I just got it yesterday.

Uh oh

All the tales of woo indicate that it isn't the Spyder or the Ryder, but it has to be the Garmin or the Tom Tom... They must just be dumb Toms or Dumb Garmins:lecturef_smilie::dontknow::spyder2::yes:

You all have to understand, with the amount of computing power the Spyder carries, there are times it just takes over. Does anybody remember HAL?
