    A newbie to trikefest, what should i bring?

    I'll get my trike, gas, gear and clothes. Should I bring a tent, food, drinks and etc..?

    What is a normal checklist for you senior members?

    You know I was really going to pack some food and snacks that only normal people eat but if you're coming maybe I should just bring a Dairy Queen instead

    On a more serious note, are you coming? And I am repairing my brakes again. Couldn't bleed them right the first time without a bleeder kit and kept my 250r pads on them which were worn as you all seen. Throwing my brand new ones on tonight and bleeding tomorrow. My whole trike is torn down as of right now. Going to clean it completely and put it back together so I know that everything is where it should be.

    Good machine/race ready is a must...basic tools(plug,chain stuff, a basic tackel box of wrenches, chain lube). Bring rain gear, muck-muck boots, rain/sun shelter(pop-up) if ya got it. Food is what you think...grills will be lit all around; most won't mind after their done, using the coles. You should bring pleanty of water to drink but I always bring a jug or two of hose water for washing and general cleanup(5gal each). Camping in a common group of this nature may lend itself to the barrowed tool, but don't expect a parts store.

    Haha, you will fit in good. Yes i'm coming. You better get that 200x tuned up. As far as tools no need for you to bring any louis will have everything you need. Spare parts for your bike yes bring some of those for sure. Get that thing together and do a shake down run.!!!!

    There's plenty of room for whatever camper you want to show up with.
