Just some helpful hints. Other suggestions are gladly accepted.
-Bring some tools that are common to your make & model.
-Do you have ways to carry extra gas? if this is a concern for you, of course.
-How are your tires? Inspect and replace if tread is too low.
-All lights working?
-Is your battery good?
-Check your fluid levels. Change oil if needed
-Rain gear?
-Medications.
-Do/does your family/friends know where you are going to be and for how long?
-Is your insurance in force?
-Is your license in force?
-Have you been released by your doctor for any extracurricular activities?
-Do you have a place to stay for the weekend? Good luck finding a place now but you better get on it!
We ask that your machine be in (the best of your knowledge) good working order. Let's be considerate to one another and not bring motorcycles that are on the verge of malfunction due to brakes, tires or etc. Remember, we most likely won't leave you but it is a huge damper on the riding mood due to negligence of maintenance.
If you are going on a guided ride. Be ready and fueled up before the meet-up time and if the guide lead stops for fuel....that means you stop for fuel to. Best to be safe than sorry.
I'm sure there is more that others will chime in on

We will not leave you!
Very good advice above, consider bringing air pressure gauge and check daily.
Check fluids each morning, only takes a minute!

I don't have to check oil, just add a quart every day. :t No water to check.
Fuel Maps loaded....check
Speedometer Calibrated....check
Bluetooth Sync'd....check
Cigars packed....check
What was that other stuff again?
Good advice on the "we ask that your machine be in good working order". When I used to do offroading there was always someone who had a tire fall off or engine seize. It sucks having to hold up the group because one person didn't take care of their stuff.

Excellent advice from both gentlemen :thumbup:
-
1. Bring duct tape...(in case one of your running lights decides to lose a screw)
2. Lube shift linkage..(especially on an R and N model VTX)
3. Have two or 3 cell phone numbers of fellow VTX'ers handy if you are riding solo...just in case.
4. Bungee cords, zip ties, and sunscreen..
5. Drink plenty of water. Beer and/or vodka comes later.

All of the Hotels are booked and then I though I could stay on the River in my Sailboat but there no launch. I though I could leave it on dry ground but the sign says RV's ONLY! The closest Launch is in Canyon Lake over 70 miles away and I am not sure if I can get my bike off the truck by myself. Rocket67 post a route that comes by Canyon Lake but now he is in a CLAN WAR I read in the NEWS. :o I still get fatigued when I do things that is Why I have not made any plans. :reaction: I need HELP if I'm going to the Rally Oh yeah # 13 same # as Apollo 13 we all know what happen to them. So its all up to the 12 of you oh no I would be #13 :redcard: Can we get the Official Count yet?
I would like to come and bring my string puppet too! I got a karaoke Machine with three mikes and guitar input :violin:
Nice boat. Don't worry about unloading the bike, I got this.
-
Is that a McGregor? You could stay on dry and sleep on boat I did that before, ask campground some don't allow boats as RV'S something to do w insurance. :thumbup:
We help you unloading the bike.

Not exactly sure what your asking for, you coming to Bandera and need help unloading your bike from the truck? No problem but If your staying on canyon lake , how you going to attend the gathering?
-
That's what I trying to find out where is the gathering I thought this is a Rally oh that's right to small to call a Rally LOL Well can you fine out if I can Park Sailboat at the "gathering"
Info is in the "Rally's" section and also on the calendar. You need to call the RV park where this is happening and ask. If they don't I am sure you can get that thing up the river...just need to put wheels on it.
-
Even though truly befuddled, he knows exactly what and where this is Rocket .. he just wants to demean matap for not being able to make this the grandiose event he would have if he had been picked for president. He is the Donald of the X riders I guess, and you are his VP and huckleberry! ;D
SSSSSssssanake
