plenty of ear plugs..tinnitus isn't nice
"plenty" pairs of socks?...I know this thread goes wayyy back and at some stage it was decided ( I think) to get rid of the trailer and minimise "Stuff to take with you"...So shouldn't it be just a spare pair ?...and keep hand washing them as you go. As for the ipod...hmmm...O.K. 'til the fookin battery runs out...so you take a USB cable and a 3 pin plug adapter
...more space used. Got an ipod but prefer on the rare occasion I do travel, to use a small Creative Zen 1Gb mp3 player...1 small pencil (AAA) battery lasts fookin ages and you can always nick a pack from any garage anywhere.
As for ear plugs ..I'm afraid they will be no fookin help whatsoever if ya got tinnitus...fook all you can do about tinnitus except get pissed to take your mind off it chap....
Hope ya having a good time out in Sturgis matey and haven't fallen prey to them Rufty Tufty Harley Boyz......
