"Jack"
A short brief before the main question.
After many years of traveling on Goldwings with the kids I decided that it was getting to heavy for me and my old body and decided that I needed something that would be more "fun" riding in the hills,getting to work and still maybe travel a bit. This took most of the winter of '04 to decide that a BMW was the answer and got one of two first new R1200RT's in our area.
This March I contacted pneumonia which alone with other problems,spell Vietnam, has kept me low most of the time since then. I have fought back and am able to do without oxygen a lot of the time but have attacks and must grab the bottle at times. Love the riding so strap on the bottle of the RT and go. The bottle is good for 4~5hrs of steady use. This is fine for short rides and back and forth to work but doesn't make it for long trips.
I hope to be able to do without the oxygen by next spring so I can travel back to the midwest for the BMW ralley.
Does anyone out there have any idea how I could get oxygen refilled while traveling? The company that supplies me now is spotty in other locals. My health provider doesn't have any answers either.
Have priced out a portable 12v generator to wire into m/c but they are pricey.
Any concrete ideas out there?
