  • Must Have Items on a Ride

    I was just curious what others thought they just HAD to have with them for a longer ride. There are a few obvious ones (helmet, durable clothing, jacket) but what do you need and why? Here are a couple of my own:

    1. Copies of my driver's license, insurance card and registration stored in a ziplock water proof bag kept on the bike

    2. Boots to cover my shin. Nothing like a rock the size of a marble hitting your shin bone going 75 MPH

    3. Nutcup. This may fall in the TMI (Too Much Information) category but I equate an accident on a bike to flying spread eagle through the air and whacking the "goods" on a telephone pole. BONUS: the women think you're "packing".

    Anyone else?

            That's "things to take while hunting for goth chicks". Don't forget, goth chicks hate ducati's.

                    I wouldn't give it much credit...there's an EX500 in that picture too. They probably didn't even know the difference.

                      I'm thinking seriously about picking up one of these before my next long trip.

                        Wow, neat! Pollux built a packet radio into his bike at one point to emulate similar functionality. I've always wanted to do something similar, but didn't want the weight of the ham gear. Let me know if/how that works out for you.

                              Exactly. Which means they don't hate Duc's or they hate ALL motorcycles.
