Default First Overnight Trip

I finally got my buddy to buy a Dyna. So while it's still great riding weather we're ready to do our first overnight trip. Along with the personal stuff I need to take what other gear should I bring? Also, besides bringing along my 9mm what can I do to guarantee I'll have my Fat Bob the next morning? Or should I just lay a bedroll next to it?

I like to carry a cable and lock to tie 2 bikes together.

If you normally carry a gun, then carry your gun. If you don't normally carry a gun, dot carry a gun Same as your wallet and cell phone. Bring some booze. And your cell phone charger. Basically, if you'd bring it on a car trip, bring it.

You may need "protection" but don't worry about bringing a gun.....

Just make sure your insurance premium is paid, lock the bike whenever you park it and enjoy the trip.

Use a cable and lock to tie the bikes together it makes it harder to move.
If your not willing to kill what you draw down on leave the gun at home take a chain-saw that will scare the crap out of almost anyone.
You make it sound like your going to camp in the city park in East LA or Harlem.

If it comes out of the holster, that's what it should be used for.
