Long trip
I'm going on my first long distance motorcycle trip, unfortunantly not on my FZR (I was cleaning my carbs today at work and someone came up behind and scared me, I jerked the wrench and snapped off one of the bolts that holds the emulsion tube in.) i'm borrowing my friends Honda CB 750. What are some essentials I need for the trip? I'm going from Gainesville, FL to Atlanta, Georgia which should take about 2.5 - 3 hours. I've already packed my ipod, extra clothes, misc tools including jb weld, zipties and a few quarts of oil. Anything else I should bring to make the trip more enjoyable?

Preparation H. A credit card. I mean, there's a long journey, and there's a long journey, as in transcontinental, and I wouldn't worry to much for a jaunt of several hours.
Stop for a smoke and a brew about halfway through - enjoy the journey as an experience, don't endure it simply as a task to be completed.

Re: Long trip
2.5 - 3 hours???
cmon that's just a ride around the block!!!!
When I bring a backup, I always put in a few wrenches, plyers, allen wrenches, whatever is light.
Just remember the more you bring, the heavier your backpack is going to be and your back might get sore.
