Working on my packing list for our trip out west in a few weeks. I have a lot of packing lists from previous trips but each trip tends to be a little different, and this one is no different in that once I get out west on my solo leg, I'll be meeting my wife in Edmonton and we'll be riding 2up for our BC adventure before I drop her off again in either Edmonton or Calgary, and then I cannonball home solo again.
We will be primarily doing hotels/motels and not doing any of our own food prep (unlike most other trips with my usual riding buddies) so there will be no cooking gear needed this time, and I'm only bringing absolute minimal emergency camping gear just in case we get into a pickle somewhere as we are going totally without reservations. It'll be a cold day in hell before my wife will willingly climb into a tent on the ground lol, but it beats sitting on the bike in a parking lot all night because there was no rooms available somewhere or whatever. I might camp myself for a few nights on the to/from depending on weather as well.
So, thought I'd throw it out there, as per the title - what's the one thing you always forget or wish you'd brought on a long trip on 2 wheels?
