What do you carry in your trunk?

[klw]

Thanks Lamont, I think this forum is gonna be fun. I'm sure the women are gonna
ruffle the feathers of some of the men on here.
Let's start!!!!

I ride with the Warriors Watch Riders so, I always carry a 5x6 American flag with me. Depending
on the season and where I'm headed depends on what I carry however, I always have my
rain gear, lip balm, baby wipes (to clean off road dust) extra sweat shirt and do rag. I like to carry
extra fingerless gloves and full gloves in case I get caught in the rain or whatever..... I have an
insulated bag to carry water and tissues.

I'm sure us guys can learn a thing or two from you all. :doorag:

[kyspydergal]

I carry rain gear because I seem to always get caught in the rain no matter how far I ride, a ball cap for my helmet hair, a bottle of water, my cell phone, a map if I'm going someplace unfamiliar, lip
balm, gloves and a jacket.

[jwhatman]

I end up carrying all the above, plus the tool kit, tire repair kit, first aid kit, bungees, etc. I have more room than hubby does on his bike, so I just end up carrying the essentials. He does carry the cooler and his tool kit etc. I also carry a spare key to his bike as he carries a spare key to my bike, just in case.

I carry a lotof the above :agree:, rain gear, tools, sunscreen, windshield and bike cleaner, long sleeve shirt and a first aid kit. I am a community emergency response team member for Wentzville so the first aid kit with lots in it is a must. I also include several different pairs of glasses/goggles.... day time, night time and extras in case some get lost or scratched. Yes hopefully the guys will like some of this and realize we are serious bikers also.:spyder:

[DynamoBT]

I carry a clear visor to my helmet in case I run out of daylight. Water, liners to jackets, purse w/license and insurance cards. A credit card, of course!! Tool kit. I don't like to fill it up to much so that we can put one helmet in it when we stop somewhere. I'm most often ryding two up with hubby on the back. I have rain gear, but so far don't travel far and wide enough for me to specifically take it. I'm a "fair weather ryder" unfortunately. Well, I ryde for fun. If I get caught in rain, it's not biggie. I dry out pretty well.

[ARtraveler]

Windex and cloth for debugging the windshield. Tool kit, manual, ball cap, warmer set of gloves, waterproof gloves, cell phone, and sometimes a heavier jacket if I am going to high altitudes.

Ooops---I got on the lady spyderlovers forum by mistake. I will be more careful next time.

[SpyderFun]

Rain gear, camera, iPad, chocks, spare visor and of course… 5 gallons of gas! :ohyea:

Now that is a nice looking mod not to mention great for doubling the Spyders leggs!

[TwinPeaks]

My husband, of course!!!!!!

[Explorer53525]

I have BRP side bags, so I pack one of them with the rainsuit, small cargo net and toolkit. Try to keep the trunk for the stuff I use "all" the time. A bag with Dew rag, gloves, sun glassess, brush, sunscreen and then plenty of room to fit helmet and jacket for safekeeping while I'm off Spyder. Optionally, room for those "must have" purchases. Also have some light croc sandals for off-Spyder time when wearing heavy boots or shoes is too hot.

Thanks for what you do. Do you fly that Flag on missions ? I do not know a lot about them. I ride with PGR, flya 3 x5 on the Spyder and at least one fold up in a trunk. We have ladies that ride with us.

[SpydherLuv]

I always carry tools, a hat, cargo straps, an ounce of Star-Brite, and SRA membership applications. Any gear is dependent on the weather.

[vampyregirl]

Rain gear, tool kit, owners manual (you never know!!!), my purse (wallet, cell phone, house keys, gum) and a jacket (depending on weather). I bought a simple pencil pouch from the dollar store that I'm going to mount to the underside of the lid and put my extra tools in it. I think sticky velcro should take care of that!!

OldmanzuesI have 2 small flags I fly with at all times attached to the back of my seat. I need to get a bracket to hold the 3x5. I usually welcome home service men and women and hold the flag at the airport when they arrive. Then we escort them home with all the flags, lights and horns. I'm usually in the back of the parade, mainly because I don't have the bracket for the 3x5. and because I have 3 wheels and the cages follow. We also do flag lines for memorial services holding the 3x5 and dedications.
I'm hoping to have the bracket by the 10th anny of 9-11. We have rides planned all week-end you can imagine. I love what I'm doing...Not much...but it sure makes the service people (cops & firemen included) Happy!!! The little time I'm giving... doesn't compare to what they give for our freedom.

My trunk monkey...

[Radthorne]

Radgirl tosses her purse in the trunk, which contains most everything that everybody above has mentioned (well, maybe not the trunk monkey...). And if you ever tried to lift my wife's purse, you'd understand. She once carried a six inch long block of 1 x 4 wood (a stain sample for matching some house trim) in her purse for six months before realizing it was still in there... :yikes:

[Bootie]

I like many of you have an RT. With its 4 trunks I can carry everything including the kitchen sink. :D

[Brevet05]

I like many of you have an RT. With its 4 trunks I can carry everything including the kitchen sink. :D I guess the kitchen sink explains your trailer...:yikes:

Sorry, ladies, I'll go back to lurking...

[bruisersbaby]

Since it is still technically "hubby's" Spyder until I graduate from the learner's permit to the big "M" on my license, we share the trunk and back hatch. My purse normally goes in the back hatch, along with our reflective vests. I've got to have my tootsie rolls, too!! Most of what was mentioned is also included in the purse. The trunk itself is normally empty, and when we stop, we put our helmets in there.

[Bob Denman]

If you're not careful Holly is going to put out a "'Call To Arms", and you'll find yourself in the unpleasant situation of discovering what an all-female lynch mob looks like from the business end! :yikes:

[glasspyder]

Ok that list was super funny, but no, light travel most days. A rain suit and a bottle of water. If I'm going to a bead show, I'll pack my case in the front.

[Dentin028]

:roflblack::roflblack::roflblack: Loved the list!!!! The best is that you can find all that in a very small trial size or travel size and fit on the :spyder2:

I'm not worrying too much since I travel with hubby (Bullant12) who has the RT with the trailer... so I can pack and shop!!;)

[alicej]

I used to carry everything but the kitchen sink as standard items on my Harley, but I decided to share the Spyder w/hubby so cut down on the "alwas in the bike items". Left Saddle Bag: black short gloves, black gauntlet gloves, glove liners, cotton scarf, Pass the Pigs, small velcroe strap, small bungie cords, key to Ron's bike, Q-tips, water bottle holder, silk neck warmer, tissues, instant-cloths, pocket knife, Baby powder, Skin-so-Soft, Rain Ponchos, umbrella, Harle rain suit, small first aid kit, shamm tpe cloth, Mr. Clean Magic Sponge. Trunk: Blue gloves, 2-instant-cloths, basic meds, folding comb/brush, small notebook/pen, lipstick, mirrow, folding cane, folding hat, and purse. Frunk: Owners papers, insurance info, Owner's Manual, Warranty:ani29: papers.:yikes:

[Spyder Couple]

In the back trunk, I carry a tool kit, gloves, notepad with pen, Ipod, wipes and a couple of bottles of water

In the front trunk we have caps for helmet hair and usually store my helmet and jacket for when I am not riding the spyder

in the glove compartment in front of the seat we keep the insurance card and registration and some Change

My purse usually goes in the left side case.

[kytten]

Wow, you guys carry some awesome stuff. After reading all your lists, I need to add some stuff to my frunk.

The only thing I really carry in the frunk are the tool kit, owners manual, warranty & maintenance information and a pair of heavy gloves. When I'm not riding, I put my jacket and helmet in there.

I also have 2 soft saddle bags and a roll bag on the back. In one soft side bag, I have a half cover, the clear visor for my helmet, a lighter armored pair of gloves and rain covers for my soft bags. In the other soft bag I have a pair of sun glasses, the liner for my jacket, and the rain cover for my Airhawk seat.. The roll bag is where I keep my keys and wallet while I'm riding. I also keep the Airhawk seat in there when I'm not on a long ride.

I should really organize things better at some point.

[Chikez]

When traveling with my partner we take rain gear, iphone connected to spyder, tool kit, half finger & full finger gloves, sun screen, helmet bags, slime flat tire kit w/compressor), sunglasses, purse and a hair brush and a hat. If we are pulling the trailer I include the covers, folding chairs, small cooler with drinks, extra bottle of oil and leave room for shopping. Last we take our pillows if we are spending the night away from home.

[Love2Ride]

Hmmm. Swiffers, polish, polish cloth (got to get your priorities in there right :roflblack: ) tools, do rag, coat, sunscreen, lipgloss (which I don't use cuz it's a bug and dirt catcher), sunglasses, insurance card, reg. card, papertowels or tissues, and..... once ..... tampons.:opps: But they got smashed REALLY bad and then got grease on them when I was rooting for my tools. So now they go in my purse... THEN in my trunk. :rolleyes:
