I have lists for different trips, overnight, 2 weeks or longer, cold or hot weather. Hate to
forget things so I use a list.

Wrote a webpage about this awhile back.

Oh and a top case.

[PADEROLIS]

Those are some great ideas... will have to make a list myself!

[neoBusa]

just make sure you dont clip the extra key with the key your using... had a 'smart friend' who did that once... lost keys... = screwed!

i think your list's about complete... i would carry an energy bar with me as well... might need sugar, etc, depending on weather conditions.

This was developed over several years of leading the tours:

Likely there's something we're forgetting - pack light is the mantra.

Big thing we recommend for long-distance tourers is carry an extra clutch lever. They are small & light & will fit in the tail of the busa- I've carried a spare set for years. All it takes is a simple parking lot tip over to snap the stock one off and you aren't going anywhere.

DAMHIK.

One of the more odd things I carry when traveling with a tour group is a tow strap/tie-down. Packs very small, and we have used it. Comes in handy - can see the red at middle of the pic. Other red thing there is the Cycle Pump air compressor - have used that too. EZ Air Gauge & Tire repair kit are in the tail + two bags of GoPro mounts. Lots of space in there. Geza Bike Cover goes inside the hump.

Pashnit, EVERY time you post up pictures, I end up at your site looking at all the amazing pictures you have on there. Then I hate you for having such an awesome job haha

Why are several of you packing sidearms for a day trip? Expecting trouble? Do you have concealed weapon permits? If not, how do you comply with state firearm laws?
