I'm a fan of carrying a backpack with a couple of Gatorade bottles full of gas.  Just stop over at some point after you've burned some gas and pour them in the tank.  If you plan on doing a lot of falling down (which seems to be fairly popular for some reason) then this plan probably isn't for you.

Well we all don't just cruise around in formation on dirt roads, so that plan IS probably only good for you  :o   :D .

Hahahahahaha.I think if I was to do that I'd feel too much like a human malatov cocktail for my liking :o
I'd rather a full bottle in front of me than a full frontal lobotomy.

If you don't fall off you are not going hard enough

Again, if you plan on crashing on a regular basis, then the plan isn't going to work very well.  But even then, those bottles are tough as hell and don't leak unless they get put through serious abuse.  Honestly, if I fell hard enough to worry about the bottles of gas in my backpack, I'd be more worried about the fact that half of my limbs were disabled and my bike suddenly looks like the letter J.


Is this Maico a 440 or only a 400?  Well in all the confusion, I forgot myself.
But considering this is a 1978 Magnum, the best-handling bike in the world, you have to ask yourself one question.
Do you feel lucky, punk?

Here is a typical plan I put together and post before the ride so everyone knows the script:

8:00am Leave Staging Area
8:15am Do Trail #55
9:00am Crash into oak tree
9:30am Do hill climb trail #56
9:50am Down logging road
10:00am Trail #33 Smokey the bear
10:15am Bob crash head on into other rider, breaks colar bone
10:30am Do trail #34 Black diamond
10:45am Fall over half way through trail
11:00am End and go regas at staging area

Modest beginings start with a single blow of a horn, man.
