how to eval a helmet

[wildlands1]

anyone ever heard of using a MSR water bag for gas on a tour? if gas wouldnt eat up the plastic it'd be a handy way to carry an exta 10L of gas in each front/tank pannier that could simply be rolled up and stowed when not in use. but you'd wanta make sure and NOT use 'em for water afterwards. think it'd work?

Nope... had to do it to get out of a bad spot & bags didn't last too long (few hours). I use MSR fuel bottles - not 10L of fule, but better than nothing...

Find a 4 or 5 quart oil container at a truck stop. Throw it away when you are done. wildlands1 wrote: anyone ever heard of using a MSR water bag for gas on a tour? if gas wouldnt eat up the plastic it'd be a handy way to carry an exta 10L of gas in each front/tank pannier that could simply be rolled up and stowed when not in use. but you'd wanta make sure and NOT use 'em for water afterwards. think it'd work? --------------------------------- Looking for last minute shopping deals?

<><><><><><> <><><><><><> Wildlands, I've got no idea but I'm curious as to where you might be traveling that you'd be willing to carry an extra 20 liters of fuel. I've only had one leg of a trip in the US where I was kind of concerned about fuel. Steve Rankin wasn't worried a bit. And that later proved worthy.

Buy a 1 gallon gas can from Walmart and strap it to your rear carrier. Does wonders for tailgaters. don a17 voyager 1978 cb125s

Here's another option: http://www.safetycentral.com/gasohaul.html I've never used one, not sure how we'll they'd take to being bungeed to a bike, but it only has to last until you've burned a gallon out of the tank and looks easy to carry. __Arden

Deep in a faded memory I remember dual tank bladders strung across my GS, seems to me I purchased them in Australia..... So if someone who rides the big empty knows? albatross will attempt to brush the red dust off the synapses

Yes, those will work. Easier to find, however, are the clear plastic bottles that soda pop, juice or Gatorade come in. They have a "1" in the recycling triangle on the bottom, indicating that they are made of polyethylene terepthalate, an even more gas-resistant material than the oil bottles which have a "2" on the bottom. You can scrounge them out of any dumpster in a pinch. --- In DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com, Walter Mitty wrote:

One thing to consider is that a thin plastic container has a risk of a puncture. A puncture or split while you're riding or wrecking may "light up your life". Mike Martin, Louisville, KY --- mbetcher wrote:
