Rick and I will sometimes run 140-160 before we stop for fuel. Have a few times got close to 180.
i'm still here, some are still in the shadows, for some life gets in the way, and sadly some have passed. but each and every one of the past members have left a mark in one way or another. 
cheers to all.

I have to ride across town to get to work so I'm looking for a station at 100 miles. On long bike rides I've pushed it to 130 miles. I'll agree with previous comments about the reserve, it's pretty much for looks.

Idk, I have gone about 130 and switched to reserve and made it 22 miles until I could fill up

My Mastiff has at least 3/4 gallon on reserve, if you ever remove your tank or for shits and gits, drain it with the petcock on run and after it stops, turn it to reserve and see how much more comes out.

Oh I have already done that. On reserve an additional 1/4 of a gallon comes out which typically gives me around 8 miles depending on traffic, speed, etc. What I mean by "pretty much for looks" is I don't depend on that 8+- miles to get to a station for the chance of running out. Instead I hit reserve at 100 miles (in town) then head straight to a station. I should have been more clear in my statement.My Mastiff has at least 3/4 gallon on reserve, if you ever remove your tank or for shits and gits, drain it with the petcock on run and after it stops, turn it to reserve and see how much more comes out.

Gotcha, the only reason I went 22 is cuz I had no choice to. I was going to ride this morning, started her up, let her warm up while I geared up and she died, I looked at my trip and I had 128 on it, flipped it to reserve and ran fine.. I opted to take my truck and not chance the 8 miles to the nearest open gas station that time of morning.. so tonight when I get home I'll ride her up to the gas station that is only a mile away but isn't open 24/7..Oh I have already done that.

Drained my tank yesterday, I would say it's real close to a gallon of reserve on my mastiff..My Mastiff has at least 3/4 gallon on reserve, if you ever remove your tank or for shits and gits, drain it with the petcock on run and after it stops, turn it to reserve and see how much more comes out.
1 gallon? Reserve is 20% of the entire tank? So you can go 30 miles like to see that. Have the wife ready to bring you fuelDrained my tank yesterday, I would say it's real close to a gallon of reserve on my mastiff..

I said it's close to a gallon, not sure the exact ounces but there is a lot in reserve. Sue is always ready for my beckon call, by the way..
