I have in my hand a piece of paper...
 
That says I put 16.2 litres into my bike today... Still on the sidestand too so it had room for more. How does that work?

True, I did run completely dry about 50 metres from the petrol station ;) Nothing quite like coasting down a hill to the pumps to earn you funny looks.

Hmm.. I put 17.5 litres into my Kwak today.. and there was probably a bit more room to go as well.... its an 18 litre tank.. and I had been running it on the fuel light for two days... :lol:

I've managed 16.5 in mine, but that was brimming it.

I was more chuffed with the fact petrols gone down to 92p than the amount I got into the tank :lol:
