Flow NXT FS Snowboard Bindings

First to recommend

Description

I want these Flow bindings. I want these Flow bindings in black. I want these Flow bindings for my powder board so I can click in as fast as Russ and that punk won't be able to poach my freshies.

Aerostich Ultralight Rain Pants

First to recommend

Description

Most motorcycle jackets and pants advertise that they are water resistant, maybe even water proof. Most aren't. If you want to stay dry you need rainwear. Aerostitch makes some nice gear, albeit a bit spendy. In a rain storm you will decide it was worth it.

Moto Compass

First to recommend

Description

Having a compass on a motorcycle can save you a lot of time and hassle. Cloudy days or noon at the equator can really mess with your sense of direction. Oh yeah, and nighttime too!

Personal Locator Beacon (Terrafix)

First to recommend

Description

I have mixed feelings about a product like this. On the one hand I think that everyone should pack a heavy dose of Personal Responsibility on a motorcycle tour. On the other, shit happens. (can I say that here?) I've met quite a few solo riders out traveling through some crazy places in Alaska and Central and South America, and crazy things happen in crazy place, often far and away beyond the control of the rider. I'm even thinking of a solo trip to the Baja myself, and if something happened and I couldn't get back to civilization, well, a push of the button and Civilization would instantly know I was out there and in need of assistance. Which reminds me, I think it's time to renew my medvac insurance!

Aerostich Tube Patch Supplies

First to recommend

Description

I think I might have to get me one of these. I've carried spare inner tubes around for tens of thousands of miles. They aren't that heavy, but they are still bulky, and space is always at an absolute premium when you are riding long distance.

Bead Popper

First to recommend

Description

Here's something I wish we'd had on the South America trip. In the end we ended up buying a giant, heavy C clamp and drawing straws to see who would have to carry the damn thing. I'm sure glad it wasn't me, I already had the heavy pump and felt I should have been excluded from that particular lottery.

Aside from C clamps, this bead popper and the much larger bead breakers that can't comfortably carried on a motorcycle tour, one other way is to find a friendly motorist in a car that is willing to drive onto your tire to separate it from your rim. Good language skills required or you might sac your rim!

Aerostich Titanium Tar Arn

First to recommend

Description

Fixing a flat on the side of the road sucks. Not having the proper tools to fix the flat sucks even more. Tire irons are a virtual requirement for changing a motorcycle tire. Take my advice, don't skimp and buy the pair, definitely by the three pack. You don't want to experience for yourself why.

You can buy cheaper tire irons, but they are heavier, and we are trying to keep the weight of The Machine down, in case we do tip it over 100 miles into the wilderness from No Where.

Accutire Keychain

First to recommend

Description

I have a really nice tire pressure gauge, but it is a little too bulky. When motorcycle touring, especially if you are going trans-continental, size matters, weight too. This keychain tire pressure gauge is going to give a close enough reading to decide if you need a little more air in the llantas or not, while not taking up valuable space and adding unwanted weight to The Machine. One of my friends had this model, and it matched up to my gauge very well.

Cycle Pump Air Compressor

First to recommend

Description

This is not the lightest pump you can carry, but it is fairly compact and will re-inflate your tire in a hurry. Mine got used to pump tires after various nails and bits of metal flattened several tires out of the 3 bikes that comprised the Triumvirate of Steel.

Climb High Axe Head Guard

First to recommend

Description

I wish I'd seen one of these years ago. It's kind of scary snowboarding down a big mountain like Shasta with a steep point inches from your ear. You generally strap an ice axe onto your pack when you snowboard down a big mountain, and this guard will make that safer. Even if you carry the axe while snowboarding this guard might still be a good idea as long as it comes off effortlessly during a fall.
