    My then brother-in-law showed me that product on the web and it wasn't that long ago, 10-20 years or so, I remember it being suggested for festivals, street parties and such. I of course flashed on long distance motorcycling. My then wife who was/is a nurse advised me that it was nothing more than a condom catheter routinely used in hospitals and urology practices. I guess the sneaky leaker guys just repackaged them with some markup and and tongue in cheek promotion.
    Believe in truth. To abandon fact is to abandon freedom.

      Never saw the commercials.

      Even when I actually did an iron butt ride I never needed one, although I have heard truckers tell about using them. .

      I also recall one trucker showing me me how to get rid of bottles, which were glass at the time and much heavier than the plastic ones of today: he just opened the window and flung it sideways across the roof of the cab. The weight allowed it to stay with the truck's speed long enough that, if you were in the passenger seat, you could see it land off the roadway.

          At 58yo, let's just say I know all the convenient pull offs on my rides....
          It's not like I'm some college kid peeing on the side of a building...
          I'm a 58yo peeing on the side of a building! Haha no, I wouldn't do that.
          But when I'm out in the country, it's easy to find a pull off to, you know, make a phone call or clean your faceshield...
          My Motorcycles:

          22 BMW K1600GT (Probably been to a town near you)
          82 1100e Drag Bike (needs race engine)

              Easy Rider was on TV yesterday. Watching Peter Fonda maneuver "Captain America" on dirt roads. That's one thing I like about the Sporty's 'Peanut' tank: you get to stretch your legs every hundred miles or so.
              1982 GS1100E V&H "SS" exhaust, APE pods, 1150 oil cooler, 140 speedo, 99.3 rear wheel HP, black engine, '83 red

              2016 XL883L sigpic Two-tone blue and white. Almost 42 hp! Status: destroyed, now owned by the insurance company. The hole in my memory starts an hour before the accident and ends 24 hours after.

                If you rigged that Sporty up for running on recycled corn squeezins' you could run the EZ leaker right into the tank and only have to stop for booze fillups.

                  Perpetual motion? Think I'll call the patent office.
