I got my 2nd Interstate in yesterday, and while taking some parts off I noticed this tank under the bike.

It is behind the kickstand and in front of the rear tire.  I have worked "casually" on several valks, but have never seen this!

Its on a 1999 green and cream Interstate!

Any help is appreciated!

Ok, is this something I just leave alone?  Does it just last forever?  Do I take it off? 

Sorry, its just weird to me!

You must return it to the state of Caifornia for its 15 cent redemption, under penalty of law I might add. :2funny:

You have to sell it to Paxton.  It's a rare liberal Valkyrie and is only at home among it's kind.

Speaking of Junior Johnson, anybody try the Midnight Moon moonshine? Bought some in a local Liquor store up here in the north

If you plan on de-smogging that canister goes to file 13. Not de-smogging? Leave it on or at least link the hoses. I discovered once all the CA (and fed) stuff is off the Lady, she is really not a valley girl.  :cooldude:

It's a smuggler's cache for when you leave Colorado.

BTW, there have been a lot of reports of CO licensed cages etc being stopped in other states w/o probable cause other than their plates, lately.  I'm taking a road trip next month, not looking forward to the harassment.  Reports I've heard, is out-of-staters are coming here, buying pot and heading home.  But I guess the cops have to use our plates, as that's their only indicator of a potential smuggler.  I'm thinking if it happens, and it may, I'll turn on the video, document the proceedings and show it to a lawyer.  Just for the record, I haven't partaken of ganja for decades.  Burned out too many brain cells back in the day (during the nam) - figure I need every one I have left.

100 proof. hot. when you first open it you think of rubbing alcohol.  Then take a sip, or several. and then you're hooked and cooked.  Found a website for it: http://www.juniorsmidnightmoon.com/


P.S. didn't mean to go off subject.

Mark, you beat me to it. It's for your Colorado stash. I'm headed to IA and Ill next week so I may get to test out your smuggler theory. :crazy2:
