Checklist for any long distance ride:

cellphone

tank bag
saddle bag
tail bag
honda tool kit
monkey butt (a must have item)
chain lube
small can of honda polish
spare rags
quick inflate tire repair kit
ass made of iron
good company is optional, no company can be fun, but the wrong company is not exceptable
cash and credit cards
granola bars, energy drinks etc.
mp3 player
tent
sleeping bag
pillow case to shove spare clothing in so you dont actually have to bring a pillow (or three if your pickel)
atleast double the socks and underware that you would origninally plan on bringing
extra cargo nets
spare set of sandles incase you loose a flip flop while riding through the desart
spare riding gear(ie rain suite extra gloves)
i prefer an external back protector at all times, just makes me feel more secure also makes packing the extra jackets alot easier since the big clumbsy foam pad is out of your spare

Note to self: RC is not a goldwing. no matter how many times you shut your eyes, click your heels, its not a couch on wheels... no matter how many saddlebags, tail bags, tank bags, bunggee cords, cargo nets, tents, sleeping bags... the list goes on, its still a 1000cc repliracer streetbike that will try to kill u if given the chance, and im ok with that

starting this off with a bang:

nothing like a 1000 mile round trip to nashville when they are calling for strong thunderstorms to get your blood going! Wouldnt be bad if i wasnt a broke college student. I aint a math major but 97 dollars > 220 dollars for gas. thats right it would cost me 220 in gas to do from tiffin oh to nashville and back, and only 97 on the RC51 (PIG). so i guess if your gonna be dumb you gotta be tough, nothing like mother nature trying to fuck you over to let you know how hardcore you really are, will be sure to get pics so ppl actually look at this lil write up later on

on a side note im leaving for toledo to meet up with mudpuppy for some tires, gonna give a set of PR m2's a try along with a set of diablos, write ups will follow

so nix the whole ride to nashville, somthing abour consitent 40* temps and thunderstorms and nasty wind killed that plan, but did get to take the goat down, nothing like getting 25 mpg average for an entire tank of gas, thats right i made it from dayton OH to nashville on one tank of gas, the car gets almost as good of gas milage as the rc51 even on the highway, there is something wrong with that picture...

update-

just went for a ride to test the cruise control, the new pads, heat up the oil and test out ebbs seat, holllllyyyy shiittt!!!

every biker needs a cruise control

this thing makes life so much easier i broke my hand in a college football accident and i have had trouble before wiht cramping and pain... this thing might be the best mod i have done to the rc yet


ebbs yours seat is jawsome!1!!!!11 and i must say i perfer it almost deflated, i might have to pick up one for myself when i send this one back

i have pics to put up when im done packing and working on the bike

just finished changing the oil, and only spilt about a quart on the garage floor
