DS ADV Rally

[Frump]

The official rules say:

Quote:Fuel cells must be D.O.T. approved. Marine fuel cells are not allowed. Fuel cells must be solid mounted, no tarp straps or bungee cords.

We understand this is rally is a little bit of a different animal and we will try to be somewhat flexible with this rule.

We will not be inspecting each bike, but if we see someone with a gas can bungee strapped on, that will be a no-go. We are not going to be checking to see if cells are DOT approved, but again, don't bring something which looks like it could never be DOT certified. Even if it is DOT certified (for instance a metal mower can) but it looks flimsy, we are going to ask you to remove it. All we are asking is that you make sure its safe, well attached, away from heat, and that it won't break or melt easily. A Rotax container (for this rally) would be considered safe as long as it correctly mounted and away from heat sources.

There will be places to buy fuel which you will probably pass by at least 1 or 2 times during phase #1, but if you need premium you will need to plan ahead. Some people might be able to travel 200 miles during phase #1. I'll tell everyone where a couple of the local gas stations are before the rally starts as some of them are not obvious if your not from the area.
