I think its time to find out what to take ie only essentials .so please only 1 item per person Please add too my list starter below . (1) Givover .. Enough cash or cards .
I'll take a 3/8" socket set that will do for any small jobs needing done. Anything else will be an AA job.
Gaffer tape, cable ties, multi tool, USB charger fed from cig socket with cables for phone and gopro Memory cards Camera, camera battery charger with 12v adapter Sunglasses documents allen keys + bike toolkit and can of tyre weld First aid kit dark visor, visor cleaner chain lube bike cleaner / polish (will ask if hotels can loan us a bucket / hose) Afterbite cream / repellant Map of Scotlandshire if you think the above is excessive remember its over 1,000 for most so 20,000 miles total - over 3 / 4 days that is a lot more than most do and bikes and kit need a bit of TLC - also 'things happen' on trips like this
Steve , its all in the planning - that is what you and Gary should prob. take to Spain, plus spare bulbs and a warning triangle (that's a joke the last bit)
Ive got Oxford panniers and tail pack, so my provisional list goes:- Directions Motorola radio sets + spare batteries. iPhone & charger camera & charger Bike mounted camcorders (front &rear). Waterproofs Winter gloves & coldkillers in case it gets cold Chain lock and disk lock. Basic tool kit Ear plugs Visor wipes & tear offs Mini chain lube Puncture repair kit Duct tape & cable ties + a ruck sack with my clothes will be in my tail pack for easy removal.
Oh didn't realise it was everything we are taking. Just thought it was things out of the ordinary. Apart from the ratchet set. Hhhmmmm Buckfast
ALWAYS!! And a alarm fob if you have one - pesky things always go wrong / flat / crazy on tour when you least need them too....
