I guess that might work better than my current plan... I figured I
could use a really neat Tony the Tiger all plastic water bottle I
picked up on the Codpiece of America Tour. It is also 1 quart
capacity and pretty cute, lots better than a Castrol bottle (which if
I used would have to be single-vis). But on reflection, the water
bottle may not be a good way to go.
I figure getting a Tiger under 'Beamish's bonnet would add at least 15
mph to the top end. On the other hand, the Tiger content would likely
add at least 20 degrees to the operating temp, so it seems sort of
counterproductive, donchaknow?
Besides, putting the Tiger bottle under there would likely get the
Tiger Conversion Police after me and I am already having enough
trouble with the Content Police over there.
