PostHeaderIcon Fuel

Having ridden the piss out of my sporty chop, "the Cordano", i have run out of gas more than a few times. Last summer i was in wyoming on a little jaunt we took from sturgis and ran out of gas twice. This bike i got has an older sportster tank and holds barely 2 gallons. we had to pull my buddies big twins over and siphon as nuch gas as they could spare into water bottles to hopefully get me to the next gas station. We were in the middle of nowhere and had no clue how far it was. This, of course, is part of the adventure of riding in the first place. So after many fueling mishaps i have found a solution. I have used aluminum and steel water bottles to carry extra gas but the plastic caps seem to always corrode. I found these little fuel canisters that are the same size and design actually meant for carrying fuel. They are meant for campers or backpackers i suppose and can be found at any sort of outdoor enthusiast emporium. They run like 20 bucks and will save your ass if you run out of gas. Easily fit into saddle bags or can be fuckin duct taped to your frame. So i hope this helps some of you out there reading this.
