I try to take three or four long motorcycle trips each year. I got tired of trying to remember everything I might need to pack, so over the years I have developed a packing list for my trips. I don’t pack all this stuff, but I like to use the list to decide what I will need on a particular trip. I hope the list will help to make your trips more carefree.
Most of the things on the list can be purchase in any town, so don’t fret if you forget something. I have a friend I ride with that only packs old worn out jeans. He wears them until they are dirty and then just throws them away. The last couple of years I have gone to wearing mesh riding pants. They save me lot of room because I don’t have to pack more than one pair of jeans and a pair of shorts, depending on how long I’ll be gone and if I’m only riding with guys. If I’m riding with guys, I don’t care if my jeans will stand up by themselves at the end of the week. If I’m riding two up with my wife I have to really pack light so I evaluate each item and decide if I can go without it.

Thanks Pink Cheetah. The list really helps me.
I am extremely impressed with your writing skills as well
as with the structure on your weblog. Is this a paid topic
or did you customize it your self? Anyway keep up
the excellent high quality writing, it’s rare to look a nice weblog

Thank you. The site I used was word press. It’s free and it comes with a lot of tools.
