Wade and I were at the XLADV High sierra event (my wife was with us on her old F650GS, along with our mutual friends Erin and Edward), we had ridden in to Benton hot springs for lunch. He was on the Big GSA. A car pulls in and a very lost soul emerged. Dressed in fringe leather, beads, some sort of leather hip strap system with fringe bag, just a whole look. He came in to the diner which was all of us dirty from riding, and a intoxicated local laughing at everything in the corner. He was out of gas. Well not a great place to be out of gas, the pumps outside are decorative LOL. So there we were. Standing around that guys car, learning he was on his way home from Burning Man, hence the attire, and he was nervous but grateful as wade siphoned from his GSA to that car and sent the young man on his way. I would love to hear the same story from the guy in the car's point of view haha. Edited May 24, 2023 by shutterrev 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Siphoned 5 gals from the bike into a roadside antifreeze jug, then back into the truck. Got me to a little nowhere town for resupply. Sometimes fortune smiles on the stupid! I thought at your age guys have to stop at gas stations every 60 miles to pee? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The fuel separated the liner so you get a bag within a bag. by my 3rd time using it, it would not pour out. I needed to stab the (now internal bag) to get the fuel out. that’s a good analogy for this: Who’s up for quick Pop at the First Aid Class? @tntmo @shutterrev @KTMrad @Zubb Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SANRider 71 Posted May 25, 2023 I've got a couple 1L and a 2L FuelFriend fuel containers. They are very solid and the 1L size has the strap mounting option. http://690enduror.blogspot.com/2014/06/carrying-extra-fuel-on-ktm-690-enduro-r.html 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
