Humm, well tools, food and drink would be #1 on my list.

If the weather looks like it is going to rain, rain gear is a BIG plus as riding in the rain without it isn't all that fun! I strap it down on my passenger seat with another indespensible item... Bungie straps!

My can opener has been used by other bikers more than I have. It like alot of people pack the cans and forget the opener.

And the corollary: I usually take the things I think I'll need, and don't; and later remember the things I didn't think I'd need, and do.

the #1 thing is not physical but metaphysical... like a good attitude. take it everywhere and everything works out... even the seemingly impossible becomes improbable and then all of a sudden it just happens. serendipidty doooo. the more "stuff" you bring is just more baggage which you havent left behind. i've seen lots of people overloaded on trips.

one should aspire to ride naked
