first off if we are going to run a RIDERS OF THE STORM we need to have trailers on the back of the bikes to carry things like gas to those that are trying to get out of the way of the storm.
there where a lot of cars running out of gas on I 10 and I 12 the trailer would have to also carry water and some power bars and fruit (some of the diabetics forgot to bring food they thought it was going to be a quick exidos.
I know a kiddie trailer will carry over 150 pounds (I use one to carry stuff that is to big for my baskets) so that would be 2 lg 16 gal gas cans and some bottles of water the baskets could carry the fruit and power bars and more water . The only problem is we would have to be armed if we are giving out or carrying gas during an emergency some people turn into mad animals trying to get what they can for free (voice of experience here luckily I had a 44 and was not afraid to use it).
I am ordering 2 solar trickle charger for our 12 volt battery I can order them for about 25.oo (including shipping) . In an emergency we need communication a 12 vt CB radio hooked up to a 12 vt battery with a trickle charger would work and walkie talkies if the bikes are to far out to transmit to the base truckers can relay radio messages (I use to be in a CB Rescue unit when I lived up in Denver).
We have 2 walkie talkies we put a vox on but the noise of the bike was to loud and triggered the vox so now we just use the hammer and talk method when we are on a long run .
PS after Katrina and the fact that Sutan and I where riding our bikes in it we thought that old who song fit just right .
