1200 DVT Fixing A Water Bottle To A Multi?

I've thought about putting a hydration pack bladder in my tank bag. Earlier in the year I brought a Kriega 2 litre hydration pack which I'm going to properly try out on the EMM. If I don't get on with it, then I'll put the bladder in my tank bag and see if I can get that to work.

 

Bladder pack in a kriega R15 for me. Wouldn't want to be faffing with a water bottle when something rushes out in front of me.

 

I saw a lot of bottles attached to bikes at Sturgis many times in a goldwingee,harley stylee with things like this










or you could go Chiz beer stylee



but agree with the others , a hydration pack is probably the best

 

I've seen a couple of freaks in India who had fabricated a water boiler apparatus complete with a tap to the exhaust header on their Enfields . When I remarked on it, they told me they were keen Tea drinkers who liked to make their own cup of Tea when riding. One of my fellow riding companions regularly rides carrying the makings for a gin and tonic : fresh lemon, little serrated knife for cutting a slice, a Vacuum flask full of ice cubes, and a bottle of Gordons Gin in his pannier, as his girl friend is partial to a G&T at sunset time.
Personally I carry 2 x half bottles of gut rot whisky, which fit conveniently under my rear seat where the tools are designed to go.

 

I have a hydration pack in my jacket, and it's really useful. Alternatively, Kriega do a little hydration pack rucksack, although cheaper alternatives are available - i've seen them for as little as £10 in places like Trespass.

Kriega for me too, I have an R25 with their own make of bladder.
I used this for a 2 week trip around the Kwazulu-natal region in South Africa.

I had an initial concern it might have been too bulky or sweaty but actually it was great, no movement restriction, and forgot I had it on most of the time. For most of our European trips we have regular (i.e. every 90 minutes or so) stops, so don't bother for them, as I don't dehydrate quick enough to need it.

 

Kriega bladder too, works,

 

I have a water bottle carrier zip tied onto my tank bag. It's cheap and works well.

 

All this talk of bladders and water bottles has drawn my attention to something I must do right now. Back in a minute.

 

That's the problem I guess - if you keep drinking whilst riding you have to stop anyway right? It needs to come out somehow..

 

Chris,
Now come on here, you know you need ALL of your attention looking forwards when riding your bike!
Goodness knows what your riding would be like with another distraction like a water bottle on your handlebars, let alone with your own personal water-butt….
