Can you soak in the tub, totally submerged except for a snorkel?

Riding without eye protection, if I shut one eye and hold my head just so my nose will block wind for the other eye at up to about 45 mph.

Dane, our tanks hold 2.8 gallons with .6 gallons after reserve (Non Raptors). Hence your 2.2 gal calculation? Do you know how long it's been since I used the word "hence"? Me either.

I was going more for comedic license over laser accuracy. My OCD doesn't allow me to ride on reserve all too often, hence, I typically refill at 2.2 and it was the first thing that came to mind. Grin

My initial response would be: a race track.....but clearly this is a street oriented forum!

I would say good gear!
I feel absolutely freakin naked without at the least a helmet, gloves, and boots. And I really prefer my Vanson jacket, as well. 90% of the time this is my attire. Oh, & earplugs.
When I first started riding I read about using earplugs, & thought to myself, "why!?"......I tried them once, & I practically hate riding without them. I even wore them on my dirt rig.
