Kolpin Fuel Pack Story -
I am writing to extend my sincere thanks for a quality product that has exceeded my expectations for function and durability.

I am an avid long-distance dual sport motorcycle rider.  By long distance I mean several weeks at a time typically traveling five hundred miles per day, and one thousand miles days not uncommon.   I ride a 2008 BMW R-1200GS configured to carry all-weather clothing, camping gear, and enough freeze dried food for weeks at a time.  Generally I seek the roads less traveled which has taken me far from pavement to remote parts of the United States and Canada.  As you can imagine, fuel becomes an issue on a regular basis.

I'm sure you know all about niche markets, and duel sport adventure motorcycling is a big one.  There's lot of aftermarket products but, surprisingly, not much available in the area of extended range fuel supply.  While searching the Internet I happily, albeit accidentally, came upon your fuel pack products.  A few years ago I purchased twin Kolpin Fuel Pack Jr. with mounting brackets.  I mounted the fuel packs to the rear of my steel luggage boxes and, after several season of hard use, I can say they have served me very well.  

The first trip the Kolpin fuel packs took with me was a ten day eight-thousand mile adventure from Wisconsin to the Yukon, to Alaska, to Oregon and, in a very round-about way, back to Milwaukee.  In July of this year I drove to Wyoming and, once there, stayed completely off pavement (except to refuel) for seven days.  Your packs have driven with me in many extremes; hundreds of hours of high speed on and off road vibration, extreme heat (114F) and cold, and from sea level to 12,000 ft and back in a matter of hours.  Without exception they have always kept my precious reserve at the ready.  And, while I try very had to manage my primary fuel supply to avoid using the reserves, there have been several occasions where, without my Kolpin fuel packs, I would have been way up $#!^ creek without a paddle.

Lastly, I think it important for you to know that when the fuel packs are mounted on my bike I am constantly approached by fellow dual sport riders who show great interest in my application of your product.  There may be a BIG market segment you are missing.  I'd be happy to share with you some digital photos of the Kolpin fuel packs mounted on my bike during travel to remote and picturesque locations.  Just let me know.
