Reply #15 - 10/06/09 at 22:58:15 Thanks to all, I was looking for something like a counter, but the combo lock is a far better idea because the wheels won't drift. Special thanks to Bill67, my wife and I enjoyed the good laugh.

Reply #17 - 10/07/09 at 16:28:15 I actually went today, today! to buy a cheapo luggage lock for mileage comparison (saw that's what someone else had done on here). I went to Wal-mart expecting it to be like $3. It was almost $7!!! I didn't buy it yet hoping for a better deal somewhere else.

$1.50? Most of the 'dollar' stores have items that are multiple dollars now. Sad

I go every 100 miles. If you try to do it when your last two digits are zero....... I did have the honor of running out of fuel on the interstate in the middle of no-where Maine, hitting the reserve and hoping I would find a station.

LOL....I did the exact same thing... here at Walmart though it was over $7.
So I went to the Dollar Store and they didnt have any Roll Eyes

So,I'm still just watching my mileage.

Yeah, that's what I do. If you're getting 50+ mpg you've got 25-30 miles to find a gas station after switching to reserve. I hardly ever have to switch.

Only catch is to make it work on a stock tank would be a difficulty factor of about 14 on a scale of 1-10. But if your willing to switch tanks, it would be about 6 my donor tank came off a vulcan 750 (that bike does have a guage) Seviersavage

Thats a good idea. I did switch yesterday for a while, it would be mihty disappointing to need reserve and find out then it didn't work! Angry

. Thanks Justin.

Reply #29 - 10/10/09 at 05:27:04 1) I write mileage when I fill up on gas cap in dry erase marker 2) I have a Schwinn bicycle speedometer that let's me see the speed more easily and acts as a trip meter 3) I tap the tank Just a matter of paying attention I think.
