Your table looks like my table BRPO ! Raydog (cept I carry a .45)
 
I have lists for different trips, overnight, 2 weeks or longer, cold or hot weather. Hate to
forget things so I use a list.:whistle:
 
A medium sized First Aid kit. my Girlfriend always would make me throw it in my tank bag. Sure paid off when my friend went down.
 
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:

Preparing for your Pashnit Motorcycle Tour in California

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. :laugh:

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 :thumbsup:
 
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?
