Packing

Now this is a challenge.  There are several things I need to take into consideration that you normally don't think about when packing your luggage.  First, and most importantly I need to think about weight.  Vespa's are not known for their towing capacity, so how much stuff I bring will be key. 

Another important point is tools.  I need to be prepared for most anything, so what to bring?  Weather will also be a factor in packing.  My luggage will be exposed to the elements while I'm driving.  Technology, what and how much tech do I bring with me?  OK, let's break it down into a couple of categories to try and  make it easier.  This is what I have so far.

Tools
  • Tire pump
  • Wrenches (6 to 14 mm should be good)
  • Socket for wheel nuts (might need a long handle for leverage)
  • Magnetic cup (to hold nuts & bults on the side of the road)
  • Screwdriver set
  • Needle nose pliers
  • Grease (a small cup should be good)
  • Electrical and duck tape
  • Zip ties (various sizes)

Technology
  • Cell phone (GPS built in)
  • Extra cell phone batteries
  • Camera
  • Tablet w/ keyboard
  • Pocket camcorder

Personal Items
  • Clothes
  • Hygean items
  • Emergency food
  • Water
  • Sunscreen / lip balm
