If you have GPS no need to take a dealers list with you. Just load them onto your GPS: http://custom.gps-data-team.com/world/m ... f_interest

I just take:

- standard BMW tooling
- tire repair kit
- tape
- zip ties
- GPS
- spare clutch cable
- camera
- video camera (Contour HD)
- credit card

Spare clutch cable, used two of them on Deal's Gap this past weekend. Two of my buddies 1100 GS' both broke this weekend, luckily they broke at an oppurtune time, while pulling into the gas station after leaving US 129.
