    Thats a tough one. I'd definately try to find one quickly. If you have to ride home w/o, stay away from any dust/dirt you can.

    BAD NEWS.
    I would NOT ride without a filter, unless there is NO other option.

    There might be some Rigging you could do.
    I might get some pantyhose, but then again I have no clue if it would work best.
    Someone needs to chime in their thoughts on a temp fix.

    I would say dirt. Its already flowing pretty good with pod filters, w/o the pod, it may not make that much difference.

    Just dirt!
