    Gas Cans

    I've been looking for a two and half gallon heavy duty gas can that I can carry in the back of the truck and not have to worry about it. I want to be able to fill the tank of my 250 Honda at least once. Five gallons is two much, at least in one can. I looked around on the net but nothing seemed solid. Then I thought of RotoPaX. I watched the whole video twice, I'm sold...

      I don't know if they're actually coming from the US. I buy everything online. RevZilla has them. So does Walmart online.
      I have to watch the video a few more times. The accent drives me crazy!

      I think there are cheaper "Rotopax" now available, and based on feedback from ADV, they seem to fair just as well.

              I watched that video twice and didn't notice what she was selling. There's something about her, ah, er, Australian accent that hypnotized me.

                Yeah, but I would not say "hot". Maybe cute.

                    I've been pretty happy with the IMS 4.7g tank on my WR250R. It's been crashed tested in several dirt naps and contrary to what my pals are telling me, having an explosive device as a crash guard hasn't been a problem. The IMS tank carries the extra gas down lower on the bike so I really haven't noticed the weight on the trails. However, the "natural" tank is just about the ugliest thing I've ever infested a bike with so I got some custom graphics for the lipstick on the pig.

                      If I go that way I'll buy a black one.

                      I have looked into an aftermarket tank. It's not so much the money as the hassle. Most of the time the 2 gallon tank is enough for me.
                      I better look at that video again, maybe that will help me decide.
