That's right. Over the years I've reduced packing down to a bottle of Jack, condoms, clothes and rain gear.

Wow, we both have the same goal, ditch the clothes, have safe sex on our bike while drunk in a pouring storm and wearing rain gear.

+1 on the back pockets, put your wallet in a fairing glove box, phone in glove box. What you need to get at quick, pack on top. If you have the cloth bags for the saddle bags and tour pack those are quite helpful.

I only used my front pockets. Saw someone once with a ring knife. Cut back pocket and ran down to the subway in Times Square

​​​​​​I tried the Harley 3 pocket faring pouch. for me it cut too much off my distance when obstruction on road. I have a 5" screen, Would take 3 inches off from the bottom.


I found this mini back pack on Amazon. It has 2 loops in the back that goes on your belt. ​​​​​Its about 6 inches tall. Holds my Iphone 6s Plus and cash for tolls.

Enjoy the ride and pack as light as you can. +1 on the sweater or get a hoodie. You can always pick one up along the way at walmart or hd. Take frequent short breaks instead of a few long ones, your body will thank you.
