Specs say the tank holds 18 liters of gas, which is about 4.75 gallons. I put 4.45 gallons of gas in the tank when I refueled. That’s about 17 liters, so I ran it down pretty good.

Errands, sort of. I waited too long to write this down, so I can’t quite remember all three of the things I did. I went to the doctor’s office first for an 0800 appointment.

No riding. Took Jim’s truck & trailer up to George’s shop to collect the last 56 tires. I also collected a bunch of my parts to take home – everything I need to do the pushrod tube seals on the Airhead, plus a set of Michelin tires and some tubes, and my carb parts.
