Motorcycle Packing Checklist

Last Updated: Dec 23, 2020
 
Click Here for a printable version of the list below. It's handy for walking around the home while you pack. This page gets updated often, so bookmark it now!

Inspired by a long distance trip from the Midwestern to Pacific Northwestern United States, this list serves as a basic reference for the intermediate rider. Use it to your advantage! You'd be wise to note that it accounts for multiple riders. Clicking a check mark will remove an item from the list. A page refresh resets everything.

With regard to socks, underwear and t-shirts, the specified clothing linked below are quick-dry and hand-wash friendly. Only two of each should leave your doorstep (pack one and wear the other).
