The Rotopax does look easy to switch from one bike to another.

I like that the Nomad can be plumbed in so I can use the fuel in the aux tank first.
Tank 3 plus my Clarke will give me 15.8l.
mmmmm

Yeah, burning up the aux tank first is more desireable to get rid of that extra up top weight in the back. I'm liking tank four for some long distance exploration. With the bugee cord set-up you'd probably have to tread a bit more gingerly than normal though.

Plus my time?, well when you work on your bike your time doesn't count because its just plain fun. The welding yea that one was unexpected for sure. $60.00 for 5 minutes of work, but hey you live and learn. As far as the signs go, they were scratched and not going back up, and instead of tossing them in the dumpster I used them. And yes it was my decision to make on that one.

Scratched??? I've seen signs with bullet holes in them, bent at the corners with tire marks on them, skateboard stickers, spray paint on them.

Riddle: When is a street sign not a street sign.

Answer: When Deej says so.

I kid, I think I used to have a 30 mph in my room when I was in college. Just giving you are hard time.

skools for fools!!!
