All good advice. Big thing to always carry, fuses. I was on a minor road trip, bathroom stop, bike would not start. The fuse for the fuel pump went out. That was on my 02 UC. One thing that seems to be over looked, make sure you enter your manual override code in case the key fob goes out or worse, it gets lost. Other than that, be safe and enjoy.

Don't understand about about traveling light. I have a Tour pack and 2 side bags. Even if it was only a day trip why not take additional items as long as you keep the weight down.

Actually it's a 1,300 mile one-way trip over 2-1/2 days. The bike & items will be in Florida until mid April; then drive back up north.

I'm now in the less is more crowd I've over-packed and made myself miserable before by packing too much.
one thing I do agree with this make yourself happy.
