    Hey guys, saw two flats in my parking lot at work this week, maybe we should ALL be using the tire plug and c02 kits?

    Also does anyone that rides in a group regualry split up duties on who brings which essentials? We do it in my 4x4 club all the time. The guy with the welder doesnt need a wench cause the guy with the wench can use the welder from the other jeep. They guy with the cooler ( me ) doesnt need either cause I got the beer :)

    For those who have seen my shiny new 1200, I am sorry to inform you that what you percieve as a tankbag is actually a five gallon reserve tank that I need when the heavy jo-jo Jonesing overcomes.

    There is no life without Jo-jos. They are the staff of life. They are God's gift to motorcycle dudes of both and intermediate genders and even harleydoods.

    This is a recipe for the real thing:

    The on the road kind you can get at Safeway next to the poppers usually or at various convenience stores that have gas pumps. The road kind are coated in cornstarch then deepfried. Kind of uber pomme fritte if you will.


    JoJo Potatoes

    1/3 cup all-purpose flour or fine bread crumbs
    1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
    Salt to taste
    Freshly ground black pepper to taste
    1/2 tsp. paprika
    1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
    Unpeeled potatoes, quartered
    Garlic powder, optional

    Mix all together well, bake at 375: for 1 hour or until potatoes are cooked
    through, turning 2-3 times while baking.

    And all this time I thought you were referencing a controlled substance. Potatoes = the food of the gods!

    I think it only fair to mention that one cannot achieve God like status unless he or she has eaten at least 100 lbs of spuds and McDonalds fries don't count.

    Switch to carrot sticks before your butthole prolapses and you vapor lock from cholesterol......for goodness sakes, you've already gone and bought a 7th gen, how much more do you think you can get away with before you declare karmic bankruptcy?

    I probably should. I have never seen a rabbit with a prolapsed butthole. I have heard of some gerbils and hampsters with similar symptoms but they eat mostly lettuce I think.

    Ok, this thread has some really good ideas.

    I keep my tire plug kit under the seat. I figure there is a reduced chance of it skewering me with it under there. I have one Co2 cartridge that is stored with the plug kit under the seat, and I don't think that is enough. Must pick up more cartridges, or get a pump. I keep the toolkit under the seat as well. If I lose my key I can't get to the tool kit, but then again if I lose me key I ain't going anywhere anyway.

    In the tank bag:

    1) His and Her clear visors for if it gets dark out while riding, more useful in the spring/fall around here I guess. Right now the days are pretty long. I have these stored in a visor protector thingie I got from Cycle Gear. It's a snug fit in the tank bag.

    2) Cargo net

    3) In a zip lock bag I have a small spray bottle of lens cleaner and a micro fiber cloth. I get the spray cleaner at Wal-Mart in the eyeglass department, it's cheap and small.

    4) Soft shop towel.

    5) Digital camera.

    6) Tire pressure gauge.

    7) Pen and paper.

    8) Small LED flashlight.

    9) Extra ear plugs.

    10) Bottled water.

    11) A long sleeved t-shirt for those mornings/evenings when it's cooler (seasonal).



    If I am wearing my riding pants (which I always try to do these days), then I add.

    12) Cell phone.

    13) Wallet.

    14) House keys.

    15) Zip lock bag for spare change to jingle jangle jingle in...
