Took someone's advice and have a liter of gas in a propane canister in my pannier. So; with the bike baking in the summer sun, do I have an IED in the back of my bike? Inquiring minds want to know.

drDave, What idiot gave you that advice? Don't say his name, but are his initials Clem? Well, that explains it.
Been carrying a canister for decades, as I often camp on long trips. No bad accidents so far. Maybe I'm reckless and just plain lucky. I hardly ever park in the sun. The key is a safety approved metal fuel canister with good seals. Not a pet bottle in a zip-lock bag. That's a bomb! Sorry, IED. If you get a gas smell when opening the sidecase, might want to re-think it. My 250cc Honda is quick & easy to drain a cup of fuel for the camp stove, but NOT the R1200R.
If you feel uncomfortable about a propane canister, I would not take it.
Would be very interested to hear what other bikers do. Inquiring minds want to know.

Um ...

If I am carrying, a 33 oz MSR red bottle, or two. No gas smell. I do not fill to the top.
If I have side cases, I modified a couple of bicycle water bottle cages- Blackburn- and 4" clamp RV style w thumb screw, and they sit outside. If no sidecases, in the topcase.

Nice one, Dr S. What is 'MSR', pray?
