You don't understand the rules. ONE tank of gas, 300 miles, whoever runs out first loses. You can go as fast as you want slick.

A race is a measure of speed, not of fuel capacity. You can ride farther without having to refuel. Wow!, that does take mad skills, impressive. It's like a big rig truck challenging a Nascar race car to a race around a superspeedway. The vehicle that can complete the most laps without refueling wins.

So big deal you got a bigger tank. How about we each drain our tanks, then we each get a gallon. See who goes further.

Hahaha, you forgot the 10 cubic feet capcity bags, without which, you really cannot roam around in a motorcycle.
Oh, the the cup holder, CB radio, full intercom, DVD player, and the microwave (you never know, you might get hungry and you are so focused in getting the odometer spinning to report miles count at the forums, that you don't want to stop to relax and get a bite).
