Re:what to bring on the ride??? - 2006/06/19 16:57 Here's my standard checklist of bike & gear related items:

  • tools sufficient for all roadside repairs, this includes things such as zip ties, duct tape, jb weld, extra brake & clutch levers, etc.

  • clear and tint shields

  • camelback for hydration while riding, saves tons of time

  • Bike specific replacement parts for common failures. On my bike, the rectifier regulator can go out, i carry a spare

  • tire repair kit, i prefer the Pocket Stop n Go Tire Plugger kit, small compressor, and tire guage

  • Plexus shield cleaner & rag

  • heated vest

  • head shell, shampa, balaclava, ear plugs, breath guard

  • Vehicle registration card, proof of insurance, cash, roadside assistance contact info. Also, put an "ICE" entry in your cell phone (In Case of Emergency). EMT's will look for this in your cell.

  • First aid kit; basics like meds, bandages, I also like to carry wound wash canister

  • small amount of food, powerbars etc. in case of emergency mostly

Re:what to bring on the ride??? - 2006/06/20 13:00 Wow! I believe you need a SUV. to carry all that stuff for this ride. Is this run a 24 hours only? I think I need a tool kit, flat repair kit and a lot of MONSTER ENERGY DRINKS. Some small toothpaste,brush, deodorant maybe a small towel and a credit card.

Re:what to bring on the ride??? - 2006/06/21 06:58 The credit/debit card is one thing that is a MUST on this trip. The stations at some of the later gas stops close at 10pm or midnight, only the pumps work 24 hours if you pay at the pump with a card. So make sure you bring at least one card, or ride with someone who does.

If you don't have a credit or debit card, consider getting a cash card loaded up with at least $100. Your bank should be able to help you out.

Also the Antelope Valley Inn requires a credit card for your room deposit, they do not take cash for that.

Re:what to bring on the ride??? - 2006/06/25 09:28 Just a reminder to everyone. Make sure your bike has reasonably fresh tires and has been serviced or at least had a recent oil change and the level is topped off. Make sure chains are tight and that you have a spare headlight bulb with you.
