That's a lot of stuff! As I read through each item, though, I
carry a lot of it.

You need an extra motorcycle-key/topcase-key... DON'T KEEP
THEM IN YOUR TOPCASE my friend who this is aimed at
probably mostly only reads facebook 

-Mike "I brought a keurig coffee maker to inzane..."

-Mike "I brought a keurig coffee maker to inzane..."

Considering the in room "crack of Dawn" fresh brewed panty-juice option, I may start doing the same.

A toboggan Digger?

[Jess from VA]

Title to motorcycle? 

In case you decide to sell during the trip and walk home?

[scooperhsd]

Some of that sounds more like you want to ride with Bruce (DDT) for a couple of months...

And what do you need a toboggan for ?

[Oss]

Mike that was funny  and who rides in the toboggan?

Once I brought  a magic bullet. It is a little mixer for making a shake in the morning out of whatever is available at the breakfast plus what I brought in my cold bag.

That shake gets me all the way to dinner most days

In case this is not a joke thread this is what I pack  but I am on an interstate and never use the trailer anymore if I am going to inzane or a group event where I am gone a week or 2

Right bag  3 water bottles, 1st aid kit with trauma clotting pad(if you can save a life why not?) tire plug kit, compressor and flares, simple tool bag with all the fuses we use (except the dog bone) rain pants and frogg togg top, microfiber cloth, duct tape and black tape, suntan lotion, extra gloves
Left bag  extra alternator (friends sometimes break down and isnt it great to save a friends vacation)
extra brake pads, extra H4 bulbs, cords for phone and kindle, sneakers and 2 pr of socks, extra long sleeve shirt (yooper shirt in there now)  sometimes I will bring a battery charger  AND EXTRA GLASSES and rx sunglasses  and a bottle of scotch

Trunk 1/2 helmet, highway evaporative vest. water bottle, power bar

My clothes go on the back seat in a mesh bungee

I have a fannypack/tank bag that contains a small first aid kit, 20 bucks, pen paper for writing directions
or information sometimes I put my pixel phone in there hooked up to power

If really hot, like after noon it sometimes does, will put my mesh jacket in the trunk wear the vest after getting it wet then switch from my Shoei to the 1/2 helmet and put the Shoei in the trunk   My cool bag goes in there as well with a gallon zip lock bag of ice.  Hard boiled eggs in the bag and some frozen fruit  At rest stops I put the ice bag in the helmet to cool it down

[..]

Disinfectant wipes.

Throw away half the stuff.

Double the money you're going to take.

[scooperhsd]

Credit cards,
road assistance information (I have AAA RV+)

[Chrisj CMA]

Title to motorcycle?  

In case you decide to sell during the trip and walk home?

I was going to ask the same thing.  I thought you were not supposed to have the title in the vehicle so both can get stolen at the same time

[msb]

I usually leave my toboggan at home...

For the past 40 years, most of my longer motorcycle trips have been 2 up with the Mrs. I've never trailered or towed a trailer so it's always been an adventure packing for these trips. It took 2 or 3 decades, but I finally mananged to convince my chronic over-packer Mrs that she really doesn't need all those clothes, etc. About 10 years ago I found a real nice Kuryakin top bag that fits nicely on top of my IS trunk. This holds some clothes in vacuum packed plastic bags (really saves a lot of space with clothes, but you have to keep an eye on the weight) and stuff we'll usually take into the Motel room or BnB each night. The Right saddle bag is all hers. I get any space that's left over in the Left saddle bag after all my tools and spare parts.... expanded tool kit, tire plug kit with Co2, spare bulbs, fuses, header bolts, wheel bearings, rags, and other assorted bits and pieces. I have a spare key well hidden and secured under the Right side cover, and an Iron Horse tank bib to hold my phone, riding glasses, tire pressure gauge. The trunk holds our rain gear, food and water for the road, the Mrs's purse (finally found her a compact travel one she likes... took a few tries, and some extra space in case we pick up a souvenir or two along the way.

[..]

One saddlebag for tools, rain gear, half cover.

Tank bag for bits n bobs like maps, flashlights, sunglasses etc.

Cheap removable trunk for stuff.

Dry bag on rear seat for more stuff on a long trip.

Other saddlebag for shoes, heated liner and gloves, insulated water bottle and stuff.

Get some 2 gallon zip loc bags for clothes. Can see what's in each bag and also roll the air out of them before sealing. Great space saver.

[John Schmidt]

In some areas of the country, the old fashion stocking cap is often referred to as a toboggan. I had never heard it before until my Rita used the term in reference to my donning a stocking cap to work outside one winter. She was originally raised in Virginia, later her family moved to Ohio when still a young girl. Strangely enough, some areas of Ohio also call it a toboggan. The toboggan and stocking cap are essentially the same thing....a knit cap. Set two on a table and ask what they are and the names given will depend largely upon which area of the country from which you hail.

Some also refer to them as beanies. If it doesn't have a propeller on top, it ain't a beanie! Some things must remain sacred.

aah-ha! 

A beanie with a propeller on top.  Now that would be bad-azz Valkyrie riding attire right there!

Up here they're called a toque (tuke), eh

That's a long list for a motorcycle trip.  Part of the joy of traveling by motorcycle is learning to minimize.   That said, as to the first entry, if you're trailering you're not on a motorcycle trip; you're taken a motorcycle on a cage trip.  The point is the motorcycle is not required for your transportation so it cuts way down on what you need to carry to keep it running.

Take what causes you to be comfortable.  A large portion of what you take will not be used.

Are you sure you don't have toboggan and tuque mixed up?

ha    talking about the insulated or thick cloth cap that covers your ears and can go under your helmet

I carry all that stuff.....that is minimized.....ha.
I will be 70 in two weeks so I will be 70 when I leave with brother in law on Goldwing and my Valk from Houston to do a Colorado tour.   I have taken many motorcycle trips out west and I like Colorado the best.   I use most of the stuff on my trip.   Was some where out west once and got stopped for speeding and when asked for license and registration all I had was insurance card and Drivers License.   Cop told me I needed to carry something that proved the bike was mine but let me go with a warning.   So I carry a copy of my title.  Only thing on there I probly wont use is the duct tape but in t he past have had things on my other brand of bikes break and could temp it with duct tape.   

As I have said in the past I have taken many trips west of Houston and all ways rode all the way.  When I leave on Sept 4 for Colorado it will be approximately 100 degrees with a feels like of around 105+ for the first 600 miles.   At 70 yrs old I got nothing to prove to anybody and the trip will be sooooo much more enjoyable to trailer in the air conditioning to Raton Pass where I leave my truck and trailer for about 7 days of riding my Valk.    Then back on the trailer for 600 miles+ in the air conditioning to home.  Much more enjoyable trip for me.

Doesn't Texas give you a paper registration along with your sticker for the tags ?

[Willow]

...
I will be 70 in two weeks ...

I'll turn seventy in February.  Age doesn't impress me.  Do what makes you comfortable.  I just don't call it what it's not.

Carl, I'm more impressed with my own age....impressed that I'm still here after my episode in 2012 and all the crap thrown my way last year. As you know, I still ride(not unusual actually) but time is limited up here. Long ago I realized a can't survive/overcome these things on my own power. The "Power" that brought me through impresses me even more.

What would you call it?   If it'll make you feel better I will say I'm doing a Colorado motorcycle tour from Raton, Nm.

[DIGGER]

It does.    Could use that also

[Jersey mike]

A roll of TP and some tush wipes.

It does.    Could use that also

Just curious. That's what cops have always wanted to see from me. Along with Drivers License, proof of insurance. Thankfully, most will let you show the insurance on your phone. I can never keep up with a new card every 6 months.

  The reason for many things in Ohio being similar to W.V. is a couple of generations back there were a lot of people moving up for work. Especially N.E. Ohio as we were  very industrialized and needing more people for the factories. I believe it was my mothers Grandfather for us.

 http://micapeak.com/checklists/mclist.html



This is a checklist for an overnight motorcycle camping trip. There is another smaller ("credit card camping") list here too. Here's how it works:

Uncheck the checkboxes of the items you do not plan to take. (This is easier than having to check the boxes of the things you do want).
Use the blank items at the end of each section to add special items which don't appear in the given list.
your options (font, size, title, etc.)
Click the  Make a Checklist  button at the bottom of the page and you will get a custom page suitable for printing which you can use on your trip.
Happy trails!

Motorcycle Camping Checklist
Last updated on January 3rd, 2008.

Hint #1: The checklist will appear in a separate window, so you can keep this window open and tweak the options until the final result looks like you want.

Hint #2: Save the final HTML page via the FILE -- SAVE AS menu function. That way you can reprint it whenever you like without having to come back here to regenerate it.

Hint #3: Annotate the list on your trip to add missing items, or delete items you took but didn't use. That way you can refine your list and make it better. The "two checkbox" option gives you a way to mark the items you actually used, not just packed.

Hint #4: Ziploc bags are your friend! All sizes are useful, particularly the 1 and 2 gallon size. Use them to organize your stuff -- they keep it dry, and you can see what's inside without having to open it.

Hint #5: Here is a link to Bill Johns' Excellent Motorcycle Camping Guide which has more than just a checklist, it has Bill's view of "How to camp out" with practical tips and ideas.

safe sex stuff  bras  these 2 items seem to be in conflict ? As far as safe sex stuff, I've found wd40 out of the tool bag works in a pinch.

Hint #2: Save the final HTML page via the FILE -- SAVE AS menu function. That way you can reprint it whenever you like without having to come back here to regenerate it.

Hint #3: Annotate the list on your trip to add missing items, or delete items you took but didn't use. That way you can refine your list and make it better. The "two checkbox" option gives you a way to mark the items you actually used, not just packed.

Hint #4: Ziploc bags are your friend! All sizes are useful, particularly the 1 and 2 gallon size. Use them to organize your stuff -- they keep it dry, and you can see what's inside without having to open it.

Hint #5: Here is a link to Bill Johns' Excellent Motorcycle Camping Guide which has more than just a checklist, it has Bill's view of "How to camp out" with practical tips and ideas.

Wow...that almost seems TOO organized for a bike trip. Kinda like booking your overnight stops and accommodations ahead of time, takes a lot of the fun and adventure out of it
Seriously though, this reverse check list idea is a good one if you have a very specific agenda and especially if you're camping along the way and need to remember more stuff.
