matt walsh Posted October 28, 2015 Author Posted October 28, 2015 These quick fill containers are also real handy ,just upend it , don't spill a drop and stops running when your tank is nearly full , cost $70 at motorcycle shops What are the containers? brand capacity, material etc. How are they used in motorcycling? sounds interesting.
rhtrudder Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 Hi Mat They hold 20ltrs , easy to fill and use , youngest races desert bikes , I'd never seen them also, once used I had to have one, they are square in shape and empty out also have a big filler. I will try another picture
Camel Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 This is Willow Jerry can, has side and top handle with large cap. It's the one I like so far.
matt walsh Posted October 28, 2015 Author Posted October 28, 2015 rhtrudder, thanks for the lead, these "gas" containers are Nevada USA manufactured and sold in Aus by Geoff Ballard in northern NSW. I used to race endure motorbikes years ago so interesting to see the youtubes on GB, he is a legend in the enduro racing sport. The containers have got mixed reviews, seems the actual container isn't that durable but the spout/pouring mechanism is a winner. certainly aren't cheap but for the fast fuelling in racing, looks the best. I'll have a crack at the Willow 20l/Tanami pump combo. I could be creative and make a You Tube of me refuelling Gladys. But I would need to cajole/bribe my teenage daughter to do the technical stuff and uploading. What is with some men, they can fly planes but cant post a simple video??

They were only $25 each at Supercheap when I bought my first two, annoyed me that I didn't get a couple more. They were only $18 each when I went back, not sure how cheap they get down to, any less they may as well give them away.
rhtrudder Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 I raced in the milledge series long time ago some of the riders I remember were Chapman bros , Norm Watts, Phil Lovett , all guns , way out of my league. We were just average clubman riders , looking back I reckon they were our best years. Flying is pretty good too , I noticed a lot of flyers were ex riders, must be in the blood.

Hi Rht, Life is coincidences, I was riding around the time of Mike "speed'' Burrows, Lester Watt, Ames Bros, Peter Wines, etc. I joined AMTRA club around 1980 and rode most of country Victoria on various nmachines including Bultaco Alpina, Honda Xl and XR's Yamaha IT490, I still have my Yam in the shed. I did a few rides with Norm Watts around Glen Maggie, Licola, Maffra way, magnificent country. And yes there is a synergy between flying and motorcycle riding, from the understanding of mechanical bits, to the feel when banking and turning and all that situational awareness that keeps bike riders alive. I love both pursuits and will ride again one day.
