Tent
Sleepin bag
roll mat
bike cover
chair (asdas finest, posh git)
clothes and stuff
waterproof stuff
bungies
ratchet ties

money

spare plugs, other repair nicknacks, manual (shouldn't need any of it but you never know...)

Alka Seltzer Sick

And personally if it's a stag weekend, rally weekend or just a weekend where I'm going to be drinking copious amounts I always take an empty plastic 2 litre water bottle. As soon as I arrive at my destination I fill it up and stick it next to wherever I'm sleeping.

When you wake up halfway through the night after numerous Beers/Lagers/Whatevers with a mouth like an arabs sandal you'll know that there is water readily available that's gonna last 'til morning so you don't have to fumble around looking for a bog/tap. And the 2 litres will also help you rehydrate yourself so you don't feel too bad in the following day - Works like a charm every time Thumbs Up

Ahhhh thats it, i allways take a massive bottle of water with me on long rides, apparently caffine can work as a dilative if its cold, to tea coffie or coke will have you needing to pish constantly! not good 5 miles after joining the M6 Doh!

I don't usually drink all that much, just one or two i think is the plan...... um.. yeh i will take some asprin um in case anyone else wants some... Shifty

Couple of big empty bottles too, very good idea Thumbs Up

A cheap plastic jug....
..when its cold, you don't have to leave the tent. You can just pee in it and then empty it the next morning. Obviously you just throw it away at the end of the weekend.

I'm a girl (if it isn't obvious) and I struggle to squat when I'm half asleep. (too much information, Very Happy )

Bike
Beer Tokens

OMG !!!! Shocked Shocked How did u manage that lot without tipping over?!! And I thought my wee 400 did well *muchly impressed.

Have to say, as never having been or known what to expect at a rally, I had a fantastic time - nothing like the sound of 300 bikes all starting up at 7am on a sunday morning to cure the hangover Very Happy

Posted pics of the various bikes/trikes onto my homepage if anyone's interested.
