NOT tryin to P O my East coast friends BUT I managed to git in 85 miles today. I'll burn off the rest of that stale fuel 2moro. I put my concentrator in a saddle bag and rode with a cylinder today. The back pack for the cylinde4r started unraveling about 50 miles into my 85 mile ride!  tickedoff cursed chinese JUNK. I mean Come ON-not EVEN 2 hours!!  uglystupid2 I do have a seamstress on tap so Maybe her and I can come up with something Better!  Wink  So lookin like I can ride with either or and stay oxygenated.  cooldude Just can NOT carry enough cylinders to make it viable on a long ride-think Inzane!  2funny But IF the machine craps out I DO/WILL have a backup! Planning on taking 2 of the smaller cylinders with me in the trailer. Lookin better and better for I-17. Just got off the phone with Bons and he WILL be modifying my trunk lights for me! Sposed to be crappy the next week week and a half SO I'll git That taken care of! Got L E D lights on my trailer so why Not my I/S?  2funny RIDE SAFE.

Awesome you got out in the wind!! sure wish I could...
We got 15 inches of snow this week and it ain't melting fast enuff.
Going in for hip replacement first week of April and was hoping to sneak in a ride before it. Don't look good.
enjoy it & ride safe,

Turns out not what or where,
but who you ride with really matters

old2soon,
Glad you got in the wind for a while today.  I was working on honey-does.

As for the backpack problem, you might want to check out Maxpedition Hard Use Gear.  I have had some of it around for a while and it is very durable.  It is not cheap but, in this case, ... you do get what you pay for.  They have several different styles, types, and sizes of packs.  Bound to be something that would work for the O2 tanks.  Might be more difficult to find something workable for the concentrator.
