Tell me what is this white/clear gas can BS !I just bought one at the local honda shop about 2 mos ago!! and if some mfer thinks they are gunna take it from me I got news for them! or maybe I will just make a trip to the honda shop and see whats up!!

[Washroad]

I've heard all kinds of BS about the white fuel cans but haven't seen anything happen with them. I have an enclosed trailer and just leave all mine inside except when fueling the Rs. I'm not going to go buy new cans because of some alleged law that I haven't seen enforced anywhere.

I will mention a different law that many don't know about; the "quiet time" law. It's there and a lot of people are getting the leos called on them for various things like late-night excessively loud music, industrial generators running all hours, etc. There was a camp near mine over New Years and they were really LOUD. Now, since it was New Year's Eve I thought "big deal." The next night, they were just as loud but it didn't bother me inside my moho but it must have bugged the shit out of someone 'cause shortly after 11pm the leos showed up and the camp got quiet.

I don't think theyr sweatin the can issue, but the "quiet time" law is a good one I think!

If you camp on gecko, its gonna be loud... If you dont want loud dont be near people. Am i gonna get a ticket for riding my bike and waking people up? be respectful to others but come on... I know its illegal to sell utility jugs as gas cans and that is exactly why they cant sell them with the hoses attached but I dont think they can tell you that you cannot use existing cans that were "preban" Hell you can have an assault rifle if you have had it for awhile and i cant have my gas can?
