And when I open the tank, it certainly has some gas still in it! It seems that there is something prevent the gas from flowing to the engine after consuming about 2 gal of gas.

Not an unusual question for a new rider. Do you have an owners manual ?
Did you read it ? If not you should......get one and read it.
What you describe is EXACTLY how the REServe function is supposed to work. It gives you a "warning" when you have a little over a gallon left.....whereby you have to switch it to reserve to continue and use that last gallon. If you realize what is going on and switch it quick enough, you may not even have to stop.
If you reset your trip odometer and fill up that 2 gallons or so when it reaches 120 miles, you may never have to switch to reserve again. If you forget and leave it on reserve......then when it runs out it REALLY IS EMPTY and you're screwed.
