• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Solution for carrying enough water accessible when riding

This product (MotoJug) was recommended on another thread by Pegasus1300 (thanks Paul), so I thought I'd check it out. The product is the holder and sipping hose for use with a 1 gallon double wall jug, such as the Ozark Trail one (there are others - I got the RTIC one).

The holder is basically a cylindrical 'bag' with multiple straps to attach it to a foot peg or foot board (for support of the weight) and then strap to exposed frame to hold it firmly in place. I decided that, since my RT has no exposed frame or other adequate anchoring point, I would install it on my unused back seat (my wife has her own bike).

After much dithering about, I ended up using one of the long straps that goes around the cylinder near the bottom to secure it laterally to the drivers seat back support. Then, rather than try to figure out how to use the other straps that come with it, I improvised using a small cargo bungie net I had laying around, and a couple of small straps I had on hand to attach it to the passenger grab rails. It makes for a tidy, secure mount for the 1 gallon jug.

You can see the product itself here; https://www.motojug.com/ They're made by a husband and wife team in St. George, Utah.
