Things I Wish I Would've Left Behind...
So, I was reading ambientgravy's thread about things I forgot to pack and that led me to "things I brought that were about as useless as a bladeless knife without a handle".
1) A bunch of socks - I don't camp with the bike (yet) so why the hell I brought a bunch of socks from Canada just so I could lug the damn things around through Montana and Idaho, I'll never know. Stop at the nearest Big K, Wally World or Target. Buy a six pack and as you use them, donate them to the motel garbage. If you run out, repeat as necessary.
2) A bunch of underwear - see point #1
3) A bunch of t-shirts - why stuff the bags with shirts from home when I'm just gonna buy a new one everyday at the closest HD store anyway. One on your back plus one extra is enough.
4) An electric razor - what the hell was I thinking...if I got to shave, I should just bring a damn $0.30 Bic.
5) The old lady - just kidding. No, really, just kidding.
6) Curling iron/makeup - THIS IS NOT MY ADDITION TO THE LIST. But she's right. WTF? You're wearing a helmet all day!
If you have any other bright ideas...share.

Things my pals have taken along include: a towelling bathrobe that took up about almost half his luggage space, bike cleaning kit (sponge, cloth, bottle of stuff), largest available box of tissues, large bottle of shampoo (for a week away).
My first Harley had tubed tyres and in the bad old days of frequent punctures I used to carry a small scissor jack and pump. Never needed either of them when on vacation, but I reasoned that I scared off the evil puncture witches!
