    GF added, sunscreen and chapstick with sun screen. And a bandana for the face on very windy days. Earplugs unless you have full face helmets.

    Some info here about what I carry and why:

    https://www.triketalk.com/forum/thre...796#post632796

    I also bring a computer (12" mac pro), CPAP, and most of the time, a small k cup coffee pot ... LOL

    Found a picture of the coffee maker ... most hotel rooms have a microwave in the room.

    You really didn't specify if you are taking a long road trip 2up or solo. This will make a huge difference in how you pack and what is included. If your home organization is set up like mine then the DW gets about 2/3's of the space and me and the bike gets the other 1/3 for our stuff.

    Reference quarts of oil and quarts of fuel. I'm not saying it is a bad idea or a good idea. Just keep in mind that if you have to you can run 87 octane in your bike, so plan those gas stops and don't worry about running out of gas. As far as the extra oil goes, if I had a engine that needed to add a quart of oil every so often on road trips I probably wouldn't be going very far from home.

    I think if you start gathering everything in one place and organizing it you will quickly see that some decisions will have to be made on what gets left behind.

    I made this list years ago so I WOULDN'T FORGET ANYTHING.....EVER!

    I've NEVER got 5 miles down the road and said "Damn, I forgot ........."

    I ride solo

    Some stuff is for winter trips and some for summer trips.

    I check off each item as I gather them. Some items I may not want or need, but it's on the list just in case.

    I pack a lot of exercise stuff because I use the hotels gym whenever I travel - doctors orders.

    I have plenty of room left over for souvenirs

    ISP-FL is correct about fuel. I've use 87 gas in all my Harleys for years and never had a problem so occasionally using it will NOT hurt your engine.....unless it's been modified. There's plenty of oil that you can use in an emergency so I wouldn't worry about that either.

    Last winter I didn't have a rope to tow start another trike. This year at Maggie Valley, I sat helpless, staring down a steep mountain, wishing I had a rope to get down there to assist the rescue of our fallen brother. I now have a rope!

    I just bought the new H-D Booster Battery pack on sale. Afterwards I found it from the mfg. for $25 cheaper. That always happens to me when I buy something on the spur of the moment.



    I carry it in my Tour Pac or car for situations just like that. I can now help someone start a car or bike at any time. Plus recharge any cell phone, I-Pad or lap top.

    Always in the trike-

    Sunglasses, night glasses, earplugs, sunscreen, eyedrops, registration & insurance, warranty info, 2nd Fob, extra fob battery, PIN & Instructions on how to use it, tire patch kit, 12v air compressor, microstart, chap stick, pen & paper, flashlight, rain suit, bottles of water, food bar, gloves (if wearing heavy, then light gloves, if light, then heavy gloves), plastic bag for sheepskin, stuff sack and bungee cords, map book, small first aid kit, can of sea foam in case of some bad gasoline, USB port that plugs into powerpoint and a USB cable, spray mister during warm months, heated gear controllers during cold months. All the above takes very little space, but is very helpful to have when needed.

    On overnight & longer trips, all of the above plus-

    Clothes needed

    Vitamins/medicine

    Printout of itinerary

    Laptop

    Camera & Video camera with batteries, chargers and memory cards

    Tool bag with all needed tools for most roadside/parking lot repairs/maintenance (fits in shaving kit bag)

    Extra hose, fittings, hose clamps

    Wire, positaps, connectors, fuses, electrical tape

    Overnight bag with all personal hygiene items

    Cooler for carrying food on the road

    Most everything is packed into smaller stuff sacks to make it easier to find what's need, to only pull out the bags needed, and to make packing the Tour-Pak and Trunk easier/more efficient use of space.







    I probably forgot something in the above lists, but that is why we do a test pack before a trip, and also why it is always good to have some extra cash for something that may be needed on the road.

    We are talking multiple 2-3 day road trips while traveling throughout the USA.

    Good advice so far. I like the compressor idea. Handy for all sorts of stuff. I've got dash control airbags so I tapped into the onboard compressor with a standard air hose coupling. Everyone I ride with can top off their air anytime.

    For me, fuel is the big thing out west. You can get wind, terrain and weather to cut your economy by 20%. You can easily find yourself in a range gap. I hope for 30mpg but plan for 26. Your choice of extra gas transport is yours, but you'll want to choose something. I went with a 6-quart blitz can with roc straps. Cheap and efficient, screw the fashion statement.

    Next/on par is water. I blew a tire in death valley in '17. I drank 6 liters and peed nothing. Nuff said.

    Clothing is my other concern. For anything over a weekend, I pack for 3+ season riding. That can happen before breakfast in the high country. After doing the 49 continental states and 8 provences I'm sold on my modular Nolan 104 helmet, and I carry many gloves. Mosquito protection is a must. I use a roll-up hat with a net attached to the brim. In season it goes on as the helmet comes off. I buy my light rain gear at the marine supply.

    I carry tools but mostly use them for maintenance and helping others. I carry parts according to what I figure is bound to break, but on a 3 hour cruise, what could go wrong? Most folks substitute a AAA membership and a MASTERCARD.

    I camp, but that's a whole nother discussion.

    I always carry a couple of cable ties in my little tool pouch. I used one many years ago to hold the front of my gas tank in place on my Sportster after the screw fell out. I used one to fix a friends chaps when his leather tie in the back broke. I used one to hold my kick stand up when the spring disappeared.

    Thumbs up Dave, Nice List!

    I also carry a locking gun case. It's a soft-sided one that's useful when traveling through states like Illinois. It's a Vaultz Locking Soft-Sided Handgun Case and includes a cord for tethering. It's not ment to be impenetrable, just an inexpensive mean to comply with some of the security requirements of unfriendly states.

    Oh! Also like the above post for including cable ties.

    Not one, not one of you mentioned the most important thing for a man to take with him on a trip.

    It's his "Lovely Wife."

    Yep, cable ties are VERY useful!

    Many years ago Used some to hold my shift rod to shift arm when the factory joint failed. (only use heim joints now)

    Oh! Also like the above post for including cable ties.
    Good advice. We're not all bleeding Chicago liberal retards here in Illinois, but they do control the legislature. Southern Illinois will put you in the midst of some of the friendliest people in the world. Stop in for coffee and pie!

    I agree. Never had an issue with the people of Illinois. When I lived in Michigan, I aways spent the night in Effingham, IL on my drive to SW Arkansas and return. Also met wonderful people in Chicago on many a weekend getaway to that city. Just not overjoyed with the confusing laws associated with “Carry” and “Transportation” of handguns with ammo for non-residents, when traveling through Illinois. Plus, what applies to transporting in a vehicle, may not necessarily apply with transporting for a motorcyclist.
