I follow this guy on YouTube. Give him a call. Perhaps he can make you a deal. Churchill Customs Huizhou, Guangdong, China +86.18688302970 churchillmotorcycles@gmail.com https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xn84Xn7jz9s&feature=youtu.be .

See below. .

I had a closer look at these Rotopax. I like them. But, a 1 gal pack for fuel is $60 and one for water is $40. That doesn't include the mount. Perhaps if I was doing off road, I would invest in a setup. I suppose a larger tank would work, but I'd still be limited to only about 600 miles. .

I was given a can of this. I can't say if it's good or not as I don't work in conditions that injure my hands to the degree that would cause me to need it. .

A shirt with an Ohio Riders logo, and a likeness of the wearer's personal bike may be of interest to some. .

I'm only using the recommended dosage. I actually measure out the Seafoam before I pour it in, and then I take a quick run around town to get it in the system. The bike always fires right up and it's ready to go in the event the weather entices me out of hibernation. The Star Tron, I use it 80% of the time. I have no complaints. "Last fill up of the season" is like when I know my riding is going to be less likely due to colder weather. When I get a larger bike that can handle a heated vest, I'll probably ride into the 40's. As for now, it doesn't excite me. . .

I served my time in the army, as well. Welcome. I miss seeing those 60s/70s style choppers on the streets. Good work. Here's one for you, now that you're in Ohio. .

I'm tempted to test my Road Toads this week. .

Come on in and have a seat. The rest of them will be here shortly. .

This at each fill up. This at last fill up of the season. .

I was barely allowed to ride one of these, very slowly, around my cousin's yard, at the age of 12. Then I got caught slightly raising off the seat over rough ground, just to make my ride smoother. That was the end of that. But, this is probably what really got me to wishing for the day that I could get a motorcycle and go where I wished to go. Sometimes I still think about chucking it all, and just taking off. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLzs14b2eVs&list=PLWixa3PxX0pjWeA4vtRZf_mzi7VDmj7A2 . .

Those look quite functional. I want to avoid the military look. I'll go over to Adventure Riders and have a look around. I was thinking more like a PVC pipe with a couple of fuel bottles stuck in it, and with a cap. Mounting and all is part of what I was wondering about. Those off road guys are pretty creative. I'll have to see what they have that they may have adapted for the road on their touring bikes. .

There is absolutely nothing wrong with having more than one motorcycle. For those with the means, you get one with all the comfort you want, and another with all the sport you want. My bet is that the one with the comfort will get ridden more as you age. .

That reminds me,..............new thread...............about carrying spare fuel. Let's go there and see what kind of info we get. http://ohioriders.net/index.php?/topic/107665-carrying-spare-fuel-do-you-how/ .

Do any of you offroaders or touring guys carry extra fuel with you? How do you carry it? What contraptions have you made for carrying some extra gas? Tell me all about it. I'm thinking it's a good idea. .

Let me guess. The landscape company is owned by the construction company that did the repairs? .

It is 60 miles from Wellston, to the gas station at the river. Though I could probably have gone another 20 miles on that tank, I broke my own rule by not fueling up near the 100 mile point. .

Man, I hate to hear these things. It's up to us to watch out for potential problems like this. We should start a list of all the things to look out for in different situations.

Can’t Fix Stupid ...but you can numb the shit out of it with a 2 by 4. .

That looks like a nice little Saturday morning ride. I might jump in at 256/664 and back out at 13/204, since I'm in Newark. If I'm not there, keep riding. My guess is your ETA at 664 is 9:45am. .

Can't wait. See you at the Epic Fall Ride, hopefully. .

My ability to edit has expired. Perhaps my Supporter status has expired. Anyway, here's the rest... You pull up in your car and they come to you and take your order. Then, they bring out a tray that hangs on your driver's window. They also have cold Stewarts Root Beer in glass mugs. That's how they chose their name, because they sold Stewarts Root Beer from day one, way back in 1932, at this very location. The Little Orange Drive –In That has become a Legend! It all began in 1932, when the husband and wife team of John Louis and Gertrude Mandt opened the first drive-in restaurant in Huntington. They purchased a little piece of land at 2445 Fifth Avenue and built, at a cost of $1,750, a tiny orange building that still stands today. The menu consisted of only two items: Stewart’s Root Beer and popcorn. Sales for the first day totaled an unimpressive 50 cents. Hoping to do better the next year, the Mandts added hotdogs to the menu, complete with Gertrude’s mouth-watering chili sauce. Today, the business and the little orange building are still going strong. And so is Gertrude’s mouth-watering sauce, still prepared from a secret recipe closely guarded by her great grandson, John Mandt Jr., the drive-in’s fourth generation owner. James E. Casto I happen to have that sauce recipe. And there are tables in the rear for motorcyclists. I seem to recall when I was very young, seeing a motorcycle with a tray attached to it's handlebars, perhaps resting on the headlight. Give them a try. By the way, WV is a helmet law state, not that any of us need that information.

As for quality of hotdog, I actually prefer this place. I grew up on these. http://stewartshotdogs.com/ It's only six minutes from the bridge. https://www.google.com/maps/dir/38.4392352,-82.3885925/2445+5th+Ave,+Huntington,+WV+25703/@38.4312185,-82.4010425,15z/data=!4m8!4m7!1m0!1m5!1m1!1s0x8846083ebe000fdb:0x59876f0591b983c6!2m2!1d-82.414331!2d38.4242459 .
