Sounds like you have a pretty good idea of what to take already. Don't overpack clothing. U can always pick up some cheap tee shirts, jeans, and the like somewhere on the road if needed for some reasons. Bring a little cash just in case. Make sure you have registration and insurance info. just in case you get to well aquainted with the local authorities! Bring a camera. Most importantly bring a nice joint to puff on while you watch a glorious sunset or sunrise....LOL!

In case you get pulled over and inspected, make sure you stash this in a well concealed spot, on your buddy's bike

I brought an Epipen in case of bee stings. Don't forget any meds you're taking.

I ride behind 05 Ultra, pick up his old underwear and socks and wear them for a few days before I wash 'em.

Get AAA RV+ service plan. I think you get tow coverage for up to 150 miles and it's only a few dollars more. Get UnderArmor under ware. Soaks sweat and drys off fast plus it packs light. Wallmart also has something similar for a lot less. Check out The Aerostitch website. Lots of good stuff on there. Leave the doo rags at home.

+1 on the underwear. Walmart has some just like underarmour, but a lot cheaper. The last time I bought some they were on a rack by themself with a picture of Toney Romo as a sponsor. 10.00 a pair! These do make a difference sitting in the saddle for a long time. Save the joint for Niagra Falls, it makes the colors real...LOL

I like to keep a wet wash cloth in a baggie and a water bottle with me for wiping down my face during stops.
