Default Another fuel option

Found these brand new chemical resistant plastic 1 gallon jugs at work. They have been in a cabinet for 15 years, and yesterday I decided to put a couple of them to use. I filled them with a gallon each, and dropped them in a back pack. Its not really that bad. 2 gallons of gas weighs about 6.5 lbs each, and 50 miles into a ride I can split one gallon right away between my bike and my cousin's. We are planning our second annual "Two Cousins Epic Ride" for the week of May 31-June 6. This may be another option for those long unknown rides.

I figure he can carry my water and I can carry the gas.

P.S. those bottles are so thick that you can't hardly get them to flex. I bet you could drop them from an airplane and they would be fine.

I'll take that bet. Let me get in the Bombardier, climb to 42,000 ft and drop those gas cans into the earth.

As long as you keep it covered, its concealed.

This is my rifle, this is my gun. One is for killing, the other is for fun.
