I know what you mean. I fill up a 5 gallon gas can when I put gas in the car otherwise it takes half an hour to top off. When I am not in a hurry its fun, kids are attracted to the rocket sidecar and a few times they hop in the car at the gas station while the parents take pictures. These days I'm running in a new right knee replacement and the bike is easier to operate than a car. Using the gas can allot with physical therapy appointments and such. Meeting lots of former British bike riderswhile enjoying the summer off from work, maybe even a lead on a Triumph 500 basket case for a winter project! Don
