Ready to ride?

So you are all set to ride off on that long anticipated trip, bike all serviced complete with a spot of polish (never mind that it will be caked with muck in hours!) But is that all? After all, at some point, you will have to get off the bike too

Putting together a basic list for starters, game for additions, but a light cargo helps when you're licking those yummy corners at blazing speeds!

Drivers licence and vehicle papers
Spare visor - plain and tinted
Puncture kit and tyre inflator
Spare key - safely tucked away in tank or saddle bag
Chain cleaner and lube
Couple of spare bungee cords to hold the bags down
Rain wear
Any prescription medicines / diamox for altitude sickness if riding to Ladakh
Phone charger and batteries
Chocolate and energy bars
Wipes for your ride (a plain white vest which has been retired from active duty works great!) and at least one microfiber cloth for visor
Clothes and casual footwear - key is to pack light here
and of course tank and saddle bags to pack all the gear!
