I depend on my trip odometer more than the light. I reset it
when I
fill up and start looking for fuel at around 100 miles. Around
130
miles I start to get pretty worried;-)

Me too. 1600 Meanie for me these days, although I'ld like to
sell it and
ride my wife's Road Glide since she doesn't ride any more. I
wish the
Meanie would let me just be worried at 130 miles. LOL.

The last bike I had was a 1949 Harley 74 and I just used to open
up
the tank cap and look in :-)
Sounds like my '49 VW. You could stick your hand down the filler
pipe to determine how much gas was left.

Typical VW owner. Sheesh...


Ex VW owner. 1973-74 in Livingstone Zambia. Then I owned an early
injected Rabbit for about 6 months here in Ontario. That was
enough.


Nay! Once a VW owner...

How'd the Wabbit do in the ice and snow?


In the mid 70's I had a Civic with studded snow tires. When I went out
to play on the slippery back roads after a snowstorm the only other
cars out doing the same were Saabs and Rabbits.
