    Use you trip meter!

    P.S. if that was a feature you really wanted why did you buy a bike without one?
    i dIdnt, came home one day and bike was here, my wife was getting ****** hearing me say every year I was goin for license and kept putting it off, so she took some initiative and bought it, figuring that would light a fire under me to get license. That was funny cuz I came home and found a bike in the garage, i thought I had just caught my wife banging some biker dude! I was just curious if it was a usual thing for bikes to not have a guage, Its the only bike ive owned so i figured Id ask.

    Better to regret something you have done than something you haven't.

    I know, at least three times a day she reminds me! I'm probably the only guy with a "remember the day you almost beat me like a runaway slave cuz you thought I was banging a biker Day anniversary?" I knew she was a keeper when we bought our first house and she turns to me and tells me "you know, your grandparents let us live with them while we saved money for our house, we should move them in so they can retire." now that's a gangsta chick!! My dad wasn't even willing to do that. Its hard to find a woman like that so I try my best to show my appreciation. Just had our 12 year anniversary last week

    Re: No fuel guage?

    My 2008 Boulevard has a digital fuel gauge which looks nice and fancy but works like crap, full for the first 150kms and then drops like a rock for 30kms, I've never trusted it so I just refill every 180-200kms.
    My 1982 CB900F has nothing at all except a trip meter, I have yet to run out of fuel on it but when it does I'll just switch the knob over to Reserve and get gas.
