Bike Week packing lists: then and now - Page 3

 

| 1987; riding from Herndon, Va to Astor, Floridan, to camp on the St.
| John's River some 35 miles west of the Speedway.   I was on my 1973
| Ducati 750GT and my brother Matt was on his 1986 Yamaha SRX-6.  Two
| kick-start only bikes with no storage capacity or windscreens.  I had
| a tank bag; so did Matt.  I added a set of nylon saddlebags;
| everything else was bungee corded to the passenger seats of the bikes.
|
| Here's what I carried:
|
| 1. 2-man tent
| 2. tarp
| 3. one wool blanket
| 4. Tool roll
| 5. Spare quart of oil
| 6. chain lube
| 7. sunscreen
| 8, toiletry kit
| 9. rain suit
| 10. hatchet
| 11. Spare inner tube, tube patches, three tire irons, bicycle tire
| pump
| 12. Pair of lightweight riding gloves
| 13. Pair of tennis shoes
| 14. U.S. Road atlas and Florida state map
| 15. Paper with directions to the Florence, SC KOA campground for our
| halfway point overnight stop
| 16. $200 cash - budget for the entire trip
| 17. Spare pair of jeans; sweatshirt, three changes of socks, shorts,
| and t-shirts   ................

Sounds like my first cross country trip (King George to LA) circa 1980, two
up on a CB750.  Looked like some prospector's burro ....
