Must have items for a long trip.

Make sure you tell the credit card company you have that you will be traveling.....

Some great other advice here as well !!!!


The ...."personal lead dispenser" deal almost made me wet myself !!!

Would the Kel Tec KSG be overkill? I'm thinking Tex Cobb in Raising Arizona. Without the grenades, that didn't work out well.

Colapse the stock and it should fit across the dash.

kel-tec does make a very concealable P-3AT. You better be VERY close to the threat though!!http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/201...-tec-p3at-380/

Lots of good ideas for your list already. One thing I do or keep, for that matter, is a folder in the cloud that has all my pertinent information on me and my bike.
Pic of the bike w/licence plate
Pic of registration and insurance papers
Pic of DL
Pic of Passport
...and so on.

If the unthinkable happens you have records of all important things at your fingertips.

Lastly on the topic of credit cards, leave your permanent ones at home and bring along pre paid if possible.

PS have a great trip!

Sunscreen for those little spots that don't get covered by gear.
After riding last Sunday I realized my new gloves leave a little area on each hand open.
Also consider on face and neck depending on helmet coverage.
Leatherman in handy location, paper and pencil, and pretty much all the other stuff mentioned.

Be sure you're familiar with a way to power your portable 12V air compressor before heading out. The cubby outlet won't cut it.
Prolly best to cut the ends off and replace with clamps or a plug that mates to one on your battery. Run compressor with bike engine running.

Quick shoutout to my new favorite piece of travel gear: Trangia alcohol stove.
Trangia Spirit Stove Kit https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0001X3NNC..._yz8txbV8N110P
It heats a big pot of water in the morning and can also make breakfast.
Omg the fires we've made for coffee and eggs. Never again.
Denatured alcohol is recommended fuel, available in gallon sizes at Home Depot or equivalent.
You can make versions of these stoves if you prefer DIY. You'll hardly go wrong using the Trangia as a starting point. If anyone is too broke to afford one I'll send you a homemade one. Pm me.
Check YouTube for alcohol stove. Please be careful!

Find out which states don't sell alcohol on Sunday ALL day, Indiana (Amish Mafia). Nothing worse than riding all day thinking about kicking back with a cold one and finding out that a guy who rides a horse and buggy and has no electricity just humped you out of a Heineken. Also, I wound up picking a dry county in PA. on the way back, I bet you can Google that, or BYOB.
