every thing listed here,is what we take.Ask your wife what she needs,figure what you need,stack it all in the middle of the floor.Dont short yourself or the wife, stack it all up figure out where its going how you,re going to pack it.Put the other half back and you,re good.

 

Interesting....

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...

 

glock 40, credit card, cell phone, jonny walker red, t.p.

 

+1 on that!

 

Mostof the above and a few MP3 cd's with 3 or 4 zillion of my favorite tunes.

 

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.

 

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.

 

HD hand operated air pump to adjust rear shock pressure as needed.

 

T bag dekker! And figure your wife will need twice the room you do for what ever. After our first 4 day ride we needed a new seat. The stock 99 seat is like a rock after 4 days.

 

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.
