Touring with an extra tank of gas

Going on a trip with a 410km (255 mile) stretch between gas stations. Hopefully this will do it!

3.7 liter (1 gallon) Rotopax, 7.6 liter (2 gallon) Giant Loop gas bag and a 2 liter (1/2 gallon) Touratech fuel canister in a 5.11 Tactical pouch.

Usually only need the 2 liter filled for emergencies and the Rotopax for more remote areas. The gas bag can be rolled up for all but the long stretches.

If this works, the Fury could do the Dalton or the Dempster if gravel isn't a concern! :concerned:

Think I'll continue to avoid gravel if possible though.

With that extra fuel you have another tank of fuel. On the highway I can get between 200 and 240 Kilometers before the fuel light comes on so if you take it easy and start with a full tank at the last fuel station you should make it. Of course there might be a few kilometers towards the end of that stretch where you question yourself if this was such a good idea...

It that doesn't inspire you, nothing will!😮
He obviously did not have a wife and kids otherwise the long ride might be 500 miles.

I think he found a good one! He knew her before he left, she waited for him and then joined him for the last couple of years and they are still married and living in California. Be hard pressed to find a woman like that today!:D
That's amazing. Happy for him for having a woman like that. Sad for him to be in CA these days.....

Nope, can't possibly be true... nobody "lives in California" and is a 'good one'
Shame that CA is a basket case these days. I see images of the homeless in places I know well and it depresses me. I'm planning a trip to the US early next year and I will be spending time in the Bay Area. Where I used to live in Union City should be OK. But if the family want to do some tourist stuff up in San Francisco I will have to think about it carefully. It's no wonder all my friends from CA moved to AZ.

BTW, I love the look of the black mounts for your ganz sissy bar! Did you get the mounts originally in black or paint them later?
I believe they came from Ginz that way.

Ginz Hell Bent Bar Hopper 15" tall. If I did it again, I would order the Old School in the same height. The bend on the Hell Bent makes the strapping on of the case a little harder.
I like the look of the Hell Bent better though.
I went for the Old School and the height is good.
