I told my wife it was either her or all the crap on the floor but not both.... When I woke up, I was the only thing on the floor and I was going by myself...

RE: Touring Essentials
Did anyone mention a tire gauge (scanned through but didn't see one)? I check tire pressure every now and again.
Otherwise I carry a small tool kit, weather clothing (cold/wet), flashlight, towel...AAA RV/motorcycle coverage , credit card, cell phone. oh and trash bags...make great seat cover in rain.

RE: Touring Essentials
I always ensure that my HOG membership is up to date so that way if I need towed to a dealer I got that covered. I didn't carry tools for the last 19K miles and haven't had a problem yet. But I'm thinking that I will carry tools this year.

OK men, some of y'all be carryin weapons on your motorcycles. I cna see how it might be necessary. I have a concealed-carry permit for my state (Washington) so it's not an issue. But I am rolling to California throuhg Oregon in a couple weeks and I am going solo and I wonder how you carry your gunses across state lines on your bikes.
