I am trying to find water bottles with a long flexible straw to use with a full face helmet. I was looking for the type that Rossi uses. Does anyone know where to get them?

I haven't seen Rossi's bottle, but a couple years back I bought Robert a DICK's Sporting Goods bottle. It is a clear water bottle with about a 5" long straw coming out of the top.
The bottle works for Robert when he actually uses it. You could also think about using a camelpak. Those keep the water cold for a while.

I honesty don't think Rossi drinks while he rides.
its better to drink after you finish.
it messes up your focus, unless you are just riding and not racing

Just use a Camelback or equivalent. Might have to rig up a gizmo to hold the end of the tube close to your mouth if you can't use your hands

I've seen racers doing that on the 200 at Daytona and here at Willow Springs.

Serious endurance racers just take their water through an Intravenous line between rides (Rossi wrote about that at Suzuka).

"I honesty don't think Rossi drinks while he rides."

I'm not looking for something to use while I am riding. I am looking for something to use between sessions while I still have all my gear on.

AGV's 2 page ad shows the type of bottle I am looking for.

Please try to post threads like this to a more appropriate topic, like the KV's "...Accessories" topic.

Thank you. : )
