Well it's in Bristol. You've got a duck. You've owned a monkey. Surely it's time to 'go big' and become an elephant keeper?

Godspeed;
The "FuelFriend" 2 litre container arrived this morning, it's really very well made, sturdy construction and fits under the Innova's seat fine... I'm guessing it'll give me an extra 125 miles..........maybe more.
Cheers again for the heads up, appreciated.

They really are quite solid, the only downside is filling them can be tricky as you can’t gauge how full it is.
At 142mpg (average over 2000 miles) it seems the main tank (3.7 litres) is about 110 miles to dry and then the extra 2 litres is about an extra 60 miles. Gives a reasonable range...

Re: Go Big and Ride Small
Purchased a few monkey bikes this week for some summer fun.
I already had one like these but these wee boyos were built by a few friends a few years back and seldom used.
Both 140cc and sensibly modded,always good cheap fun in the sun for local adventures.

Re: Go Big and Ride Small
Been out testing my eyesight today. Think it's fine but I might need to check again soon. Today was testing at altitude on Dartmoor
And testing in diffuse light conditions

Looks great!

Re: Go Big and Ride Small
Godspeed;
Could you possibly shed any light on the 3D mesh you use on the Honda Innova's seat please..?, any info/links would be much appreciated.
Would this 3D mesh also fit for my Suzuki V-Strom's seat I wonder..? Thanks
Cheers;

Re: Go Big and Ride Small
Forgot this earlier. The Super Cub now has a "Range Extender" fitted. I looked at Rotapax, very nice But dimensionally the wrong shape. I looked at the Chinese "copies" which were the right size, but I had concerns about the plastic mount's longevity, so I made my own brackets and did this. Not even the smell of petrol leaks out into the top box and it adds about 130 to 180 miles to the 90 to 110 in the tank. Result.
