2012 Butt Lite 6IX - Page 3

what I read that as is based on this paragraph:

Quote:

2. Non-OEM main fuel tanks and auxiliary tanks are permitted if they are NASCAR-, IHRA-, or NHRA- approved or, at the sole discretion of the rallymaster, determined to be of acceptable quality

Non-metallic auxiliary tanks should be grounded to the frame of the motorcycle with a conductive strap or wire attached to the tank in the vicinity of the fuel inlet. Metal tanks do not require a grounding strap if they are attached to the frame with conductive brackets.

Those two parts lead me to believe that plastic tanks with metal strappings are allowed.

Removable aux fuel tank

Err, yes - what the other folks said too

Aux tanks/fuel cells are pretty common when you get into multi-day rallies. The VOID is every year I think, and I want to say the BITE is on the IBR off-year?? There's one that is on the off-year, I can't remember which.

I'd be down....my riding buddy isn't much of a long distance / short time type.

I thought that would be too short of a rally for you

I heard that one time G-rex got lost. So he figured if he just kept going straight he would circumnavigate the earth and get back to where he started. He was home by dinner.
