Do I have to solve all the problems you guys come up with? Here is the answer to the fuel problem-

Yes that is it, look at the storage under the seat. You can store those extra bottles there and not have to worry about putting them in your backpack.

Hey I was there once. Pre-running in Mexico on a KX250, IMS 3.3 dez tank, needed to run 130 miles with no fuel stops. I had 2 prestone bottles hanging off my fanny pack on each hip. Talk about messed up weight ratio. I came into a corner and the weight carried me right over the top of the berm.

I was walking thru the garage last night looking for containers andI have t bottles of prestone (full...at this time.. :devil:

...), took one and put it in my pack and put it on...1st thought.....WTF, this is heavy BUT it's gas but it would screw up the weight distribution in my pack with my water...so I got an empty bottle of round up (64 oz...) pu it in side...1 on each side of the bladder would fit perfect...or close to it. I have my son on the look out for another one at work.

As for the Vespa, I was thinking mayeb the new ZERO electric DB... :prof:

..HUH, smart aye, :smirk:

no gas required..........

What do you think of a YZ250 w/3gl tank in mileage? I would think it might get 80 minimum per tank. Any thoughts before I ask jr jr if he would like to join?

I'm thinking with enough speed the footboard would act as a hull displacing sand like a hover-craft across the Sahara.... :prof:

..NEXT!

This river is dry, also know as THE WORLDS BIGGEST SAND WASH. :banana:

If he does bring the 2 gallon bottles, I was a boy scout, I know a knot that we could tie them to his neck with.

My YZ450 with a stock tank could take me on a 70 mile ride but it was close. I had no reserve on that either so it was a bit nerve racking at times. Throttle management.

I knew that... :devil:

..Better check my previous post.... :smirk:

...Not knowing where this one is, I know there's one deep into JV way past the hammers......there's an old mine operation back there. Still runing as of 2006 (I think) :thinking:

I'm staying out of this one. I personally think maybe 20 per gallon, but actually have no idea. Like 530 said, it's all about throttle managment. :prof:

We can bring up the "bring a container of gas (premix in this case AND another bottle of oil)" conversation .... :deadhorse:
