Well, as long as you have Jack, I can see why we don't need to find our way home! However, I prefer the Captain for relaxin'.

Maps? No darling, I ain't packin no map. If that curvy road to left looks good to you then we're gonna go see where it goes. Don't a map to spoil the surprise. As far as other things, I like to keep it light, sleep bag, flashlight, babywipes, most of the small stuff ya'll have said. I always pack a bottle of Jack too, it's almost a ritual, not for the road mind you, but for the relaxin at the end of the ridin day.

wow galews...wow..

I usually carry a small compressor when traveling, use it to pump up the queen size air mattress that goes in the tent. Also carry tire plug kit, tool kit with additions, tent, sleeping bag, toiletries, change of shirt and pants, I also carry my worn out underwear and socks so I can just throw them away when traveling. Why carry dirty underwear on the bike. Oh yeah, a portable stove and cooler, nesting pots with a cup inside, collapsing fishing rod and small selection of lures, rain gear, first aid kit, gps, extra gloves, TP, a quart of water, flashlight, hat for helmet head, battery powered lantern, spare taillight bulb and headlight bulb. I probably forgot something, but I can get all this on the bike and have room for a passenger. I just love sport touring bikes.

We don't need no stinkin maps.









































































































































Just kidding,I always have my atlas.

I buy Windex Wipes, put them in a zip lock baggy and put them under the seat, work great for glasses and faceshields.

I can't believe no-one said this. MAPS!!! I never go anywhere without at least my atlas along. I don't know about any of you, but I just can't resist that twisty road wandering off to my right or left so I need maps to find my way home.

Dammit Zee... ya caught me! hahaha...

Thanks, I'll take that as a compliment,(from one grandpa probably to another)and I STILL go 185 mph on my scooter too, lol. These youngins on their Busa's around here ain't got NUTTIN on Ole Speedy unless they got a turbo or sumpin.

SpeedyJerry, Check my age,your still a kid lol

Camping, stars, leaves, cyotes, bears, SNAKES (love crawlin into sleepin bags), that was fun when I was a kid. I prefer motels these days.............

Oh yes OldBull..have to have something soothing for the ole bottom. Not doing any kind of leaves. Been there,done that.

Baby wipes, take the place of the wash cloth an the TP. Also will remove grease from hands after road side repairs.No tent ,just a bed rool.Nothing like going to sleep looking at all the stars.

BHG a Buck knife is "old school".There are a lot of guys that still carry a Buck,but since I collect knives my choice is more modern.

BHG---now a mutual bath in the river would be fun shared with a great friend and lover!!!!!!don't you think?????
