What else should I bring? does anybody have a good checklist for 2-up touring?

TIA

"search" is an amazing function. located in upper right corner of any page, you just type some words that target your concern, and voila'! SUCCESS!
i used "2-up camping", and this was what i got. took all of 30 seconds.

You don't say where your heading, or how long you will be gone. are you staying in motels or camping? I pull a small trailer on longer trips so I can carry more. at the very least, you will need your riding gear, rain gear, extra clothes, shaving kit, etc. then there's all her stuff. you might want to rent a Van.

Tire plugging kit and air compressor and a can of FAF. A chair to sit on.

Lots of cash and a Credit Card...

Patience and a box of Trojans for the :love.

Lay out everything that you think you and she need to take and then cut it in half.. Then look at it again and see if there is some things that are disposable that you can purchase along the way and cut them.

Has worked for me.

I'm not going to say what you should or shouldn't bring cause each person is does it differently, but what I will say is for you to make a list of EVERY last think you take with you and check off the list how many times you used each thing on the list. Then after a few trips you'll know what to leave home for sure,also what worked good for you. Have a blast!:clap:clap

If your girlfriend is like me, she cannot live without a hair dryer. Check with the hotels/motels you are staying at to see if they have one. (Most major chains do but the mom and pops may only keep one at the front desk.)

Hairdryers take up space no matter how compact they are.

Start at Micapeak.com. (http://micapeak.com/checklists/mclist.html)

The lists are laid out well and then you can add ultra personal items.

PM me with your email and I will send u our checklist in excel format - you can then modify to suit your needs.

Lay out your stuff and her stuff, put your stuff back, and take half her stuff.

Last weekend we went camping. From the pavement 32 miles of graded natural rock road, then about a mile and a half of rocky wheel tracks to a picnic table and fire ring. Somehow, not only couldn't I find a hair dryer, I couldn't find anybody to ask either.

[bikerfish1100]

and somehow, i can't imagine Voni being bothered by the lack of a non-solar hair dryer.

There is no such list. The best way to pack for two is simple. You use the left side case, she uses the right side case. The top case or bag is for rain gear and heavy or light jackets, etc. Under no circumstance do you tell her what or what not to take. She can take whatever she feels is necessary and fits in her side case. Unless you are going off road for extended periods of time, there are Wally Worlds for her to restructure her priorities.

In Voni's case she has her whole darned bike. She carries the tent. I carry the kitchen and tools. Other than that ... pack what you want honey.

Easy. Your girlfriend gets both sidecases and the tank bag. If you have a topcase she gets that also. You will need to carry items that will fit in your pockets.

That's fair as far as I'm concerned, as long as she brings all the money too.
