My motorcycle is not saving me gas.

Just to be sure you went out in a burst of flames when you hit the tree or went into the ditch. :poke2: :poke2:
I would put the extra tank in a more protected place, on the rear.

I have noticed my butt seems to be getting used to the saddle. Before it would get uncomfortable in less than 2 hours, but today it didn't start bothering me until nearly 3 hours. I did take a couple ten minute rest breaks, so maybe that is the difference.

Let's be fair here... How much did that 181 miles cost you?
$12?

I mean, that's still pretty freaking cheap entertainment

Initially I tried the rear fender but it was too tall on a tall bike to get off and on easily or quickly if need be. With the number of times I had off road get-offs the front mounted container never gave me any grief and was small enough that it was fairly welll protected by the bike in a fall. I did smack into a few branches now and again but the gas container seemed to be branch proof. I think the container had to prove it was as indestructable as the bike. Proper preparation was paramount in my mind when dirt riding and I spent a lot of time just making the little things work better and more fool proof.
My riding buddy's bike was the one I always spent time wrenching on at the end of the day. He was too cheap to buy the mags with helpful hints to foolproof a bike. Now we have the internet with world wide experience from thousands of riders giving us "How To's". Info at our finger tips. Wonderful.
