So far I haven't run out or needed the siphon but years after that event I rode with some folks and I had an R100GSPD with the ridiculously large 9.2 gallon tank. One guy had this yellow Ducati with a 3 gallon tank and he ran out in the middle of nowhere PA and siphoned from my tank to get to a gas station.
Hah! I suppose that's another potential solution. Just ride around with your own personal ~~mobile fuel attendant~~ bike buddy!
It happened more than once with that group and one of the guys started referring to my GS as "KC" after the Lockheed flying tanker.
