Harley-Davidson was kind enough to post on Twitter a PDF of a list of things to bring with you on a long motorcycle trip.
And what a list!
It’s hard to believe you could squeeze all this stuff onto yourself and your bike.
A few interesting things in the list are:
- Duct tape
- Emergency Blanket
- Small towel
- Cargo net
- Replacement fuses
- Change of shoes
- Tool kit
I guess Harley is expecting a very long ride! Seems like you would be ready for anything with the long list they’ve provided.
Check out the rest of the article for an image to glance at, a PDF to save on your desktop, and the full list in plain text to copy and paste into an email to send to a buddy. Thanks to Harley-Davidson for the list!
