Re: I have a great way to stay Hydrated while riding
Nice idea.... I like the fact its not permanent or doesn't require mods to the bike. However part of me still says stopping to hydrate is the smarter move.

Re: I have a great way to stay Hydrated while riding
It's a nice idea, but it's a solution for a problem that does not exist? I do get the need to hydrate, when I ride long distances I use a tankbag, and in that is a small square insulated thermo bag into which I place 6 x 500ml bottles of water, from frozen to chilled, and dispose of them as I use them. I too think it's wiser to stop to drink, fuel and dispose of bodily fluids, seeing as the bikes max distance between fill ups is200-270 miles, dependent on the way you ride.
Can someone tell me what I'm missing here? bear in mind I have ridden 1100 km days.

Re: I have a great way to stay Hydrated while riding
This product does seem super useful to someone doing super long rides in the middle of no where.
I use a tankbag with a Coleman (thanks Wally World!) water bladder and have the tube tucked inside a slightly opened zipper. When I need a drink, I pull the tube out, get my drink on, and tuck the tube back in.Dogdaze said:

Re: I have a great way to stay Hydrated while riding
It's not just for Hydrating on the bike but for having water to cook, clean etc while camping. I wouldn't want to carry a gallon of water on my shoulder for hundreds of miles. Yes most improved areas you camp have water there that you can fill up. But there are some of us that ride and co in the middle of nowhere that it comes in super handy. Also it uses space that isn't taking up other space when traveling. Unless your 2up then it's a no go anyways. My tank bag is full of electronics which I don't want water to have the possibility of interfering with. I know it's not the solution for everyone but I can say that those who have bought it love it. It's cheap and works well. Just thought I'd share it if anyone is interested.

Just got back from a few week trip with a couple of detours one of which involved working the Amgen Tour of California Pro Cycling race. I worked both the Men's and women's races. I have to say the Hydration system was flawless and better than I imagined.

Just got back from working the Amgen Tour of California. Hydration system worked flawless. Makes it a million times easier to drink without having to put extra weight on your body.

Re: I have a great way to stay Hydrated while riding
Well if you ride IronButts or any long distances at all you will know the correct way to hydrate is by constantly sipping. Sure you can stop and drink 44oz then get on your bike and need to pee in 20-30 minutes. Or if you do it correctly you can sip for hours and never need to pee until the next fuel stop. If you drink all your fluids at once your bladder just dumps it out. If your a sipper your body can actually absorb and rehydrate your body correctly. I'm not saying this is the only way to hydrate while riding it's just makes it easy. I highly doubt your pouring in water bottles in your tank bag bladder while you ride. And if you are you shouldn't be. Also filling and cleaning a 1 gallon jug is 100% easier than a bladder system. The cooler is out of the way. Not taking up space I a tank bag where most people keep electronics and not adding weight to your body causing fatigue. Sure if you ride your bike around town this would not be needed. But I commute 360 miles plus to work each way and this works Amazing. Not everyone does that either. Also I did a 5 day ride that included a lot of off road and camping in remote places and it gave me plenty of water for cooking and cleaning. I'll even run one on the left side for long trips and have 2 Gallons. I'm not saying this system is for everyone but we have about 50 customers or so that we have sold this system to and not 1 has said it was no good or that they want to go back to a camelback or a tank bag bladder. Buy one and try it. Who knows you might like it. It's only $75. What ya got to loose?

Re: On bike hydration System
Out of all my Hydration Systems I have sold I'm surprised not more Tenere owners have bought as it was designed and made for this bike. Sold a ton to BMW owners but I think maybe 3 to Tenere riders. I've told everyone who has ever bought one of these systems that I offer a 100% money back guarantee minus shipping it back to me (under $10) if you are unable to figure out how to mount it or are not happy with it. Happy to say out of every one I have sold I have not returned one yet.
I've had a few hardcore Camelback, Geigerrig customers who have sent me message saying they were skeptical but wanted to try it anyways. All of them have told me they will never go back to a bladder style again once using this. It's just to easy and hold more water longer and colder. And the added fact that they don't carry the water the bike does. I e even had a few who have bought 2 bags. One for Hydration and the other for extra water while camping.
It's not easy to try new concepts but his will make your ride way better and keep your hydration off your shoulders or in a tank bag where you keep valuables and electronics. Give it a try. You'll love it.

Re: On bike hydration System
Over time what does the bag do to what ever it is rubbing on? Does it rub through or scratch paint?
I would like to buy one of these that I plan to use on my Super Tenere, my ST1300 and my Goldwing.
Thanks!

On my Tenere it only touches the handle on my OEM luggage. No damage. On my RT it sits against my luggage bag and I have put 2 layers of clear contact paper (Shelf Liner) to keep from rubbing. So there is no damage to the bike anywhere. The bag when connected to the foot legs and one upper loop is very secure and doesn't move much. I'd suggest the Contact paper idea if you are concerned. Or maybe I should just include some of it with every purchase. I think I'll do that. That way people don't have to worry about it. I've never had someone using it tell me it wearing a hole or rubbing there paint off though but for piece of mind it's a good idea. Also the contact paper will remove easily and not mess up your paint.
Sorry if I am not replying to these questions quickly. For some reason I did not have it set to notify me when someone replies to this thread. Fixed now.
For those of you using the system already enjoy.

Another member has installed the MotoJug on their bike and loves it. We are caught up on orders and can ship right now within 48hrs. I still to date haven't had one return or one bad review. Everyone loves them. It's just trying to convince people to try it out. But once people try it out they all love it.

Re: MotoJug Hydration System (20% Discount)
I am curious on how this hose fits into the flip up mouth piece of the Coleman jug and does it go to the bottom, do you have a close up photo.
