One year I left my stocked tool box at home in the shop without loading/ packing it for the Gap. No worries though as so many others had plenty of tools to borrow. What have you left behind that you thought was essential? On this subject, does anyone have a good list template made up that they may want to share? I have one but it's not electronic (copy/ paste). Anyone ever left their key(s) or helmet at home?? :problem: :shh: :eh: One year, I also forgot and left my coveted ZRX coffee mug at the Gap. Oh yeah, if you are a coffee drinker, bring one of your Gap mugs (bought from HQ resort store) with you to get free coffee! You can also purchase the mug there if you haven't bought one before and get the same offer.

Two stroke oil should be at the top of the list.

I forgot my jet box one year, and my "MOO" mug once. I usually start my "pile" a few weeks ahead of time, and as things cross my mind, I add to it.....

Can't say I have ever forgotten anything. I have been in need a few repair items
once I got there and you guys have always had what I needed to keep me on the road. What I am so proud of is my bikes have always got me back....knocking on wood right now.

I always bring my 'crash kit'.

sockets, wrenches, about any metric I'll need
spare parts
screwdrivers
Gas and oils

The wife won't let me forget anything else cause she'll want to bring it all including the kitchen sink. :lol:
