Getting the trip bag ready

I've been putting my trip back stuff back-together....tools....first aid... extra plug wires...tie straps..plugs etc...anybody got any new out there they find useful? got all the usual stuff...never know somebody might have something that helps.///oh yeah I always keep the cell on the handlebars for time and just in case a call from home....ya never know.
I put i tall in a tupperware dish now. oh yeah duct tape and electrical tape.
thanks

Don't know Voodoo, that sounds like a pretty good care package to me. If I think of anything else I'll be sure to post it.

BTW, how did the license plate deal work out? I'm assuming OK??

maybe some dry gas in case you get some water, or if you can drink it while your broke down and all else fails. and something i saw the other day at a bicycle shop where some handy small, fairly cheap devices for flat tires. in fact i noted a few other things which you don't normally see at the steeler which could be handy:drunk:

I always carry a set of motorcycle booster cables... otherwise I think you got everything!

yeah the flash light

that is a good one that does happen... thanks for the comments. I did not put that plate bracket on. the cables and flat kits are good to have too.

later all

I got one of those head band flash lights for putting up a tent in the dark. It's great cause you can use both hands to put the tent up. I look like a dork with them on, but since my girlfriend calls me that all the time anyway :bicker: I got used to it and don't care what I look like, specially when it is late and I'm tired.

I also carry these special straps for the handle bars in case you have to get towed. I don't trust that all flatbed drivers are going to have a pair or a good way to hook onto the handle bars. I think I got them at the steelership. I know I've seen them there.

Extra bugy cords.

I have never carried the can of fix-a-flat but have always thought it was a good idea. I don't know if it works for tube tires.


Don't forget the beer cozzy

i'm told it isn't much good if you have a tube

I like to carry a syphon hose and it has been used quite a few times.

Red Bull, Bug Spray (so ya can stop and enjoy the various views), a small radio, maybe even a portable CB.

a cell phone charger might come in handy

I have to agree with Larry the Cable Guy on motorcycle trailers.........sorry.........:roflmao:

Quoting Larry the Cable Guy:

"Ya ever see those big-azz motorcycles going down the road pulling trailers? I got one thing to say to them: get a car, Jackass!"
:roflmao:

Well, you asked...............

But really, the best things to pack are a couple hundred $$ and a major credit card. Then you can pack real light.

standardize

i've been going over the bike and replacing torx type with stainless allen type. figure it could make things less confusing along that dark road of dispair while i'm doing my repair looking for a spare wishing i had a bigger pair:devil:
