Calling all mega-mile gurus…OK, planning a Beartooth pass, Yellowstone, Glacier trip for mid-June. Leaving MN and plan on 10-12 days and about 4800 miles. Super slab there and back. Twisty roads once in the Mountain Time Zone. Just my crazy riddin' pals. No wives, or girlfrinds on this trip.

I am bringing Warm/Cold /Rain weather gear. An assortment of tools, and a credit card of course. Planning on flea-bag motels along the way, so camping gear is not necessary.

Can you think of any must haves, or don’t bring items?

I ride a bagger, and can pack military style, so space is not an issue, but don’t want to bring everything under the sun, and still be covered.

 

Bug spray and condoms ?

 

Now that was funny!

 

Dont bring the old lady............Then make sure you bring bug spray.

 

You will enjoy the scenery for sure..been in yellowstone with the bike abut 3 times...hated the tourist driving habits!! plan on major sudden stops, because someone saw a Jackrabbit and wants a photo..oh and they usually have some kind of road construction going on there..I liked Glacier better..Road to the Sun is really nice!! Yellow stone sucked on a Bike !! Good Luck!

 

This could go on forever....
but for me, in my saddlebag...going that far...
plastic zip ties, spare head light bulb, a couple fuses. I have a spare
toe shifter/bag attachment pins. Small can of plexis windshield cleaner, micro soft towels, 12 volt tire pump and tire plugs. Qt oil.... Cash.
(Hard to trade a farmer your debit card for two gallons of gas without cash).
Common tools to tighten things.
This list will get longer......

 

Sunscreen, Chapstik, water.

 

..a 32, a crack pipe, and pocket full of benjamin's..

 

Tire repair kit. not everyone needs everything on their bike get with your buds and decide what is needed and let everyone take something.
