    No trikes. Too old, too crippled. Unless I find one I can't live without!

    also some antifreeze for watercooled trikes and some water, to cool off something or get fine dirt off.
    You will cry, you will scream if you've heard half the **** I've seen.
    Are you gonna get up and burn an X in your head?

    lol right?
    I would throw in a case of Mountain Dew, and a strap for your 6-pack rack, cant carry low grade malt without it.
    Also if you have a watercooled trike, some radiator sealant and maybe a air tank if you need air in your tires if you dont fill them at home/camp. If you have a slide type carb on your trike as well, bring some change if the needle jumps or to jump a solenoid.
    Tie- Wraps too. If you get the big ones, you can use it as a tow strap.
