At first I read this as "ANVIL"
Nylon rope (thank you Hogboy)
Can anyone locate this story in cache?
I'm worried it will be too long and old to dig up.
Maybe its on his website.
Also, a pair of needlenose vise grips is a nice thing to have. Among other things, they may get you out of a jam if you break a clutch or brake handle off near/at the base of the lever. In January, I had this very problem, and was profusely thanking whomever here recommended packing those.
Wouldn't actual levers be just as easy to pack? And lighter?
For the C10, it's a good idea to pack an emergency peg (i.e. a 130mm x 8mm bolt if I remember correctly). That way, if you end up breaking a driver's footpeg, you have a backup. The bolt doesn't take up much space either, . . .FYI, said bolt fits inside a handlebar. It can also be found almost free holding the stem in the old rusting bicycle in the back yard.
2 broke down, but fortunately they were still under warranty.
i pack camera equipment, laptop, clothes for riding, clothes for going out, and a 12 pack of trojans. >32,000 miles in 14 months and this packing list has been great.Maybe bring some sort of mobile phone, maybe you can get a deal at work?
thats about it...am I missing anything?
