just like my dad used to...lol

 

That is true to a point. On this ride we will do as few freeway as we can. We do have the route pretty much planned out. We will do some of Hwy 50 thru Nevada, and a lot of 95 in Nevada. Lots of back roads so there isn't always a gas station to pull into.

Like I said, normally I don't even worry about it, and I not worried, but would like to have a few items in case some bolt comes loose, jiffy stand srpings breaks, some wire comes lose and needs to be taped up, just little stuff like that. I don't plan on actually making any repairs on the road. Like others say, that what cell phones are for. he he he.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys.

 

Trailer it, that way you can take your entire tool box and a few spare parts...j/k

 

Check out the list in the advertisement. Not 1, but 2 spark plug sockets. WTF is that all about?? Are the spark plugs on each head different sizes or what?

 

best thing you can do is look at your bike. figure out the best way to get to the battery, (take a small biker set of jumper cables), wrenches screw drivers needed.. look around at stuff . lots of things on your bike will have the same sizes.. also some extra wire, electrical tape, bulbs, wire connectors, tire gauges, maybe a left handed crescent wrench or two. If you have major problems your probably gonna have to haul it into a shop anyway ,, so you don't need to worry about carrying every tool there is. pliers .ect are good. too, or leathermans tools set knifes ect.

I have had to replace the drive belt in the parking lot of walmart once.. luckily I found the tools I needed inside the store.The other rider ran down and picked up the belt from harley. Just enjoy the ride more than likely you'll have no problems.

 

Not a tool but carry a microfiber towel to clean off your windshield every morning.

 

Then came Bronson could rebuild an engine on the side of a highway with a rock, a roll of duct tape and a twig

 

I'm leaving in the morning for a week. Taking a cruz tool kit and some other's that I normally use when servicing and tightening things up. Don't forget a flashlight,tape,loctite and a little "God,get me out of this one" type of prayer.

If your motorcycle has been properly maintained just be sure your insurance is up to date and pack a credit card and a cell phone. Ride, don't worry.
