no satisfying solution found
I was all over August on a trip trough the french Alps on my HONDA-Transalp and have been very surprised about the fact that in some regions you have to drive pretty far to refill the tank because of two reasons: there is simply not that dense net of gas stations which I am used from Austria and further more a lot of the gas stations are tiny and can be easily overseen.
So I was looking for a solution and I did not find any, which satisfies me. The only solution I found is the most simple one: to take additional fuel in jerrycans with me.
In Europe this is not that big problem because you very quick learn that you have to take care about your fuel and thats it. Outside Europe you would need a bigger tank. So I got into contact with some very experienced guys and with some guys from HONDA-Austria. The outcome is very frustrating - there is no solution because the best solution would be to have a bigger tank- and thats just not existing.
But to console me and you: There is a website "www.krad-vagabunden.de" where a couple are riding all over the world on two HONDA-TRANSALP since more than 170.000 Km. They could do that even with the small tank.
