I was only going to go to my uncles farm is spruce lake but then the low fuel light came on. You can't buy premium in Turtleford so I rode to on St Walburg (going to be a bit of PIAA) . About a 60km round trip so not a huge trek.
Man it liked that new gas. The stuff in the tank must have been really stale.
Felt awesome to get out on a proper ride and let the throttle out.

Oops, I should have put this in the "where did you go on your dual sport today" Maybe a nice admin can move it for me.

This is fuel injected so i think it adjusts to whatever conditions and always wants premium. You can turn it to a "low octane" factory map with a toggle under the seat. But it says not to run more than one tank of that type of gas through it .
I'll just get a couple jerry cans to fill from next time i 'm in the city.

Yes, my brothers usually are getting towed out halfway through with broken axles and tires blown off the beads, my poor little arctic cat 300 made it halfway last time but I was basically riding the revlimiter in low range the whole way through the rally. I think she's got at least one more rally left in her :-\
