The trip meter has always worked for me. A good rule of thumb is to fill-up every 100 miles on the trip meter. This way you don't get caught having to switch to reserve at 70 mph and you can help prevent that bottom of the tank stuff getting in your engine.
from Plain Jim:
I could really use a handlebar-mounted number-clicker, where I could input the mileage, though. How come nobody's invented that kind of thing? Kind of a poor-man's trip-odometer.
BILLWOODHOST replies:
Go to a knitting shop and get a stitch counter. The last one I saw went to 4 digits, so you could just put in the last 3 numbers on your odometer and have a handy reference for the miles since last fillup.

Another gauge was when we smoked. We stopped every 50 miles and gassed up every other cigarette stop.
from VOYAGERXII:
My bike has a fuel gauge and a low fuel light but I use the trip odometer. The bike holds six gallons but I am in the process of increasing that to almost nine gallons. I just hate the idea of running out of fuel.
from KBOTARD:
Also after 100 miles or so, it is nice to get off and stretch the ol' boo-te' and other various parts of the human structure. If you are drinking fluids, a trip to the porcelain receptacle is greatly appreciated.
