[QUOTE="Agent2, post: 42121, member: 17"] Weathergeek, I think it is awesome that you bring up this wonderful learning experience from the past. yes, mistakes were made, but I personally am glad that it happened. Since then, I always carry tire irons. A spare tube, patch kit, CO2 inflaters and pump. But what other items should I have been carrying, but wasn't? It seems that no matter how many tools you bring, you don't have the one you need. Therefore, I started carrying a full toolkit. I then realized that shade would be needed, especially in the summer. A homemade EZ up was the answer. To combat the sense of isolation doing repairs in the middle of nowhere, I decided to bring a small orange tree, It calms me, and oranges are good for you. Of course, can't live on oranges, so a small cooler with assorted food items is a necessity. A spare change of clothes is a good item to bring with you. But what clothes? Will it be warm, cold, wet, windy? To compensate for this, I simply bring a couple of laundry baskets of assorted clothing. Of course all of these accessories has resulted in modifications to the bike - hey, if you want an omelette, you gotta break a few eggs, right? I lost some ground clearance, that's the price you pay.
