I like big tanks...
...and I cannot lie! 4.8 gallons is fuel to fly....
While heading for Weston pass (11,921 feet), my speedometer went dead. I quickly found that the cable had broken, and although I wasn't worried about a speeding ticket (because KLR), I was chagrined to find that my trip odometer had also quit working! It read "168 miles", and although I knew that there was another 20 miles to the pass, and another 25 miles over it, I had no fear of running out of gas, thanks to that big tank! Hooray!
For what it's worth, the road over the Weston pass summit is clear of snow - the east side is easy-peasy, but the west side is pretty rocky with a few scary sections.
