  • £220!!!!!

    Now I was a little upset handing £50 to my instructor when he rescued me, after the nail went through my brand new tyre and UHD tube, on my first proper ride on the DR. I think it cost me another £50 or so for the Bikesure recovery plan when I got home and called them.

    £220 I’d be spitting feathers.

    I have one of these 2L with the smaller top which is unused thanks to needing a funnel to fill it. Normally I strap one of my two normal sized 5L plastic jerry’s if I need to rescue someone.

    Definitely recommend sourcing a Fuel Friend or similar. The Givi looks great value.

    Don't. I've just about managed to mentally (and emotionally) move on. The only saving grace is I now have an annual membership, but that's not much comfort. Because it was such a silly breakdown makes it even worse, at least if your engine seized that would feel like a worthwhile reason to call the RAC. Cheers for the jerry can links, will look at the measurements and buy accordingly.

  • The Givi is available for under £16 inc post on ebay. It is the largest.

    I paid £16 through my mechanics for a 2L with the smaller spout and it’s sat unused. You need a funnel to fill it up, which is my main reason for leaving it at home. Send me a message if you want exact specs.

    Edit: the Fantic owner friend was planning to use an alu 1L (camping) fuel bottle, but I think on anything bigger than a 250, 1L is nigh on worthless.
