Wow I took way less than what everyone says. I just made sure I had road side assistance paid up for the bike and my rain gear. Plus wallet, phone and visor cleaner. Admittedly when I normally go for a go through twisties I do carry a puncture repair kit as extra kit. Less I was gone for days and away from civilisation or road side assistance I don't carry extra tools. Maybe I'm a little stupid. Actually as I read this for errors (which I'm sure I've missed) I tend to think that about myself as well.

Maybe I'm stupid too: I have my phone, cash, visor wipe, a snack, like a Clif bar or something, and that's it. I do have roadside assistance.

I would take my toolkit but that's popped open before causing me to lose tools on the road. I think part of the problem is that the fender is missing two bolts which help secure the area where the toolkit rests.

No puncture kit. Sometimes a friend.

Edit: I haven't gone quite as far as 360 miles in one trip, but I don't think I would pack more just for another hour or so of riding. If it was for days, totally.

I need to ride the route with my GPS data logging when I do the mountain tour with newbies.I think it's close,if not over,360 miles round trip.
PICS are GONE never TO return.
