What do you carry in your trunk?
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.

What do you carry in your trunk?
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.
-
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 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.

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.

In the frunk?
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.

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

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!!

I 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.

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...

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