Memphis | A guy named Andy Mills has done the last two Iron Butt Rallies on a Vision Tour with an aux tank in the trunk. Don't know of anyone that's done it with a Street. Here is his website, might get some good info from him: http://www.ironbuttmills.com/ |

Buffalo Grove,Ill | After the 250 miles allowed with the stock tank, im ready to get off and stretch a little. I cant see going much further without a small break anyway, but to each his own i guess. |

If I tryed to ride 250 miles on my stock tank I'd be pushing the last 40 miles  |

| That is because you are going uphill all the time......try downhill ,it boosts the gas milage per tank...... |

| And how many miles can you go before you need to pee and drink? I guess there is always wearing a Depends? :P
I did a day of 1000 miles in 17 hours and 15 of them in the saddle. How many more can you get that way? |

New Bohemia, VA | I did 1,036 in 15 hours with at least 14 1/2 being in the saddle. Only stopped to gas, sip, bite and pee, not necessarily in that order. But, we only stopped because we had to get gas. On the Vision I could easily go 4 or 5 hours if I had the tank capacity, however, for sanity sake, 3 hours is good. |
