Things from getting wet from it when not in use

Now that the bike's all loaded up one last thing to remember is that with all the additional weight of the stuff you're carrying the motorcycle is likely to handle differently. Getting sunburned on your arms, hands and face can absolutely ruin a good day of riding. Carry enough for a few days and plan wash stops into your trip. When I'm on a trip it's great to be able to keep notes about what you saw, how the motorcycle was running, where I stayed and interesting characters I meet along the way. After all you are on a motorcycle.



Since I ride a Harley Davidson (not balanced and not rubber-mounted) I always carry a complete set of wrenches, Torx, and Allen wrenches, along with a bottle of LocTite to tighten up those parts that think it would be better to end up on the side of the road. Even when they pack down the bags seem to be longer than you would want. Both sunburn and chapped lips can sneak up on you without you being aware of it. Can't ride a bike without those. First and foremost we need to make sure that we are protected from the sun. Being able to add layers and take off layers can substantially add to your riding comfort. My personal favorites are the SG-1 from WileyX.



I usually carry this in a small baggie that helps keep it fresh and keeps other things from getting wet from it when not in use. It won't do any good to have a number that is no longer valid specified as your ICE. At a bare minimum I always carry tire patch and CO2 cartridges to perform those road side tire problems and hope I don't have far to go till the next motorcycle shop. I usually start out with a small quantity which would take care of the duties a couple of times. If the weather is going to be extremely hot then a polymer crystal cooling bandanna is a great piece of gear to be carrying. There's the ones that I carry in my pocket or attached to my belt, and the ones I carry deep in my bag for when I lose the other ones. Can't keep going without these. Often I get to the point where I can think of anything else. I got a bag to carry the mattress in too. I also carry a small multi-tool that includes a small LED flashlight because it seems I always breakdown after dark.



All of this is carried in a small bag that I always have packed so I never have to worry about it. For that you need to carry a heavy duty cable or chain lock to tie your bike to a solid structure. By providing this basic information the emergency medical workers will be able to make much more informed decisions. Anyway, to try to avoid that I've started putting a list together of the stuff I need to pack for every trip and where I want to store it on the motorcycle. Sure they may keep you dry for awhile, but more often than not you'll get 30 miles down the road and the suit will be flying behind you like streamers. * Face mask of some sort.E.
