LOL. I wish! The yellow can was what I had with me when I took the photo. I have a red one now.
P.S. I don't think it's safe/legal to carry gas like that on a motorcycle. I'm thinking about an emergency situation only.

No doubt, but this can was easier to cover. Trying to avoid the whole "Look, I've got extra gas!" motif. :-)
I didn't think anything was legal in California...

You hit the nail on the head! Were you wearing your safety glasses? #NannyState ;-)I didn't think anything was legal in California...

Unbelievably, California is the only state (I think) that allows Lane Splitting. Go figure.I didn't think anything was legal in California...
Never understood that. And I hate traveling there for work because some of those bikers are downright suicidal!

Former Navy, proud flag flying patriot here. I come from a long line of family members who served so it's safe to say it was 'built in'.
I don't consider myself a prepper but have alway believed it made sense to be prepared for whatever might come. As we all know overlanding is a great way to get use out of the tools, equipment, and knowledge you acquire over the years so to me it's a seamless crossover.

Since I am a member of an offroad club, we follow the California 4Wheel Associations regulations. They have a whole list of basic safety stuff we are required to have with us on runs. Check out their website
First Aid, shovel, Jack (doesn't have to be hi-lift), radio, basic tools to fix your rig, etc

Same here, I was looking at bug put vehicles and it led to overlanding vehicles
Not a hard core prepper but do have supplies due to earthquakes, fires and flooding around here.
I have a bug out bag that I always have in the house and I have a smaller version of one in my truck with just some of the basics. Other than that I'm not really prepared for any big disaster other than I have some 40 bottles of liquor in my cabinet so I guess that's something. I also have my 9mm H&K pistol, but I only have about a 1,000 rounds for it, so that wouldn't really get me very far either.
In terms of a patriot? Sure, I very much believe in freedom and letting people do what they want as long as it doesn't infringe on the rights of others.

Another option to get through the traffic jam.
Just thought you should know... That quote is from a poem in J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Fellowship of the Ring".
The full text is as follows
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.
