    is tomorrow.

    I would like to ask for advice over what I should take along with me. It's supposed to be sunny and low 90's here tomorrow, and I'll only be going about 150 miles or so, maybe more, depends on how my butt holds out.

    if you have bags a small cooler with ice and water, and a few snack bars. Even if I don't always take cold water I always take some. A small tool kit cresent wrench, philips,flat and a rag at least. a spare hose clamp or mechanics wire. As noted sun screen/glasses

    Nope no bags, but I modified my back pack to go on the back of my seat :)

    I do have a tool kit that I have put together myself over the months since I did not have one. It fits nicely in the food saver container I have under my seat since I have no air box.

    I always have a cell phone and a debit card with me at all times, I am a woman after all :p

    I won't be going out on my own my uncle and a few guys from work are going too.... we make an interesting motorcycle gang; My Seca, my uncle's Honda Magna, a Harley and a Triumph Daytona.

    When I go out for a long ride I always take my Camelback with me, its nice to be able to take a sip of water, helps keep you cooler and hydrated.

    I splurged and got the insulated straw, the water in it doesnt get hot like it used to before.

    prepare for worst and hope for the best, but most of all have fun!! you can only prepare so much before you ruin your trip with worries, just go ride and enjoy, you can't solve a problem untill it happens.
