"Must Have" items on your motorcycle trip

• Quality tent - Don’t skimp when buying a tent. It’s your dryness you are skimping on. I have great luck with Eureka.
• Waterproof motorcycle jacket with liner - Sun, rain, or snow, you can keep on cruising. The First Gear Kilimanjaro jacket has kept me warm with no problems.
• Nalgene bottle - You never know when you will be stranded. Can hold gas too in emergency.
• Quick disconnect helmet - Makes quick sight seeing stops more enjoyable.
• Tank bag - Magnetic works best for easy access to gas.
• Gortex hiking boots - Good on and off bike.
• Crocs - Simple, light, easy, and comfy.
• Leatherman - Used in multiple ways and situations.
• Handkerchief - Good for blowing nose, cleaning shields, washing face, etc. (not in that order).
• Large zip ties - Held a pannier on that had a broken bracket across 5 states.
• Few large zip lock bags - Extra waterproof container, trash holder, or extra water reserve.
