#ygrps-yiv-1962606994 p {margin:0;}I just realized that I had forgotten to provide my inventory.  My kit expands/contracts depending on where I'm riding or what I'm doing.  I have most of this with me all the time, but sometimes I leave the compressor at home if I'm just around town to free up space in my top case.

Underwear: Day 1: Wear 'em. Day 2: Turn 'em inside out. Day 3: Trade with your buddies.

You actually wash your underwear on the road? For longer trips I take the underwear that my wife has been complaining about, wear it for a coupla days and toss it. Repeat with as many grundies as you have. If the trip is long enough, I might just buy some new underwear along the way, but usually I just come back a little lighter, and without the hassle of packing stinky clothing. I do the same with T-shirts and socks whenever possible. da Vermonster

I BELIEVE the BIG question is: after WHICH day do you wear them on your head and parade around the campground? Cheers, Ed
