Aside from the obvious flat screen tv and sky box, could anyone post up a 'must have' list for a rally weekend bearing in mind I have nothing more than a 45ltr top box. Any tips for packing a bike safely wouldn't go amiss either as i've never carried more than a pound of sausages and a pint of milk                                                                                                                                                                               

spare clothes and a towel wud be your best bet, for after you have being initiated                                                                                                                                                                             

dont know for blokes but wet wipes/baby wipes are an absolute must if yr a girlie                                                                                                                                                                              

"I have nothing more than a 45ltr top box."   Not sure you'll find that comfortable mate.  I'd suggest you take a tent.                                                                                                                                                                             

It's ok caz i'll be packing a 12" butchers knife for the initiation but the towel is now on my list. feisty i'm not so sure about the wet wipes (i won't ask what they're for) but if i need one i'll ask the nearest girlie  I know it's a little early but I might try a camping night in a couple of weeks to get some practice in

You'd be amazed at what I can get into Geoff

Where's best place to get bungie cords to fasten tent to bike by the way?
                                                                                                                                                                             

wet wipes is your 'squaddy shower' along with Lynx spray.   1) tent 2) sleeping bag 3) roll mat/air bed 4) spare set of clothes 5) pair of boots/trainers 6) loo roll 7) foldy up chair 8) if your adventurous - camping stove with kettle 9) mug 10) coffee/tea etc 11) toothbrush/paste 12 ) ALCOHOL!   Ensuring weight is distributed evenly when packing the bike up is the main thing...get some throw over paniers (to me they are better than top boxes for camping...but then that's just my opinion).....gotta go  - currently in a customer meeting....                                                                                                                                                                             

RK.. its never too early to start camping.. some rallies start in January! lol   don't forget:-   doss bag airbed..or at least something to keep the chill off the ground spare socks/undies jeans t-shirts fleece or similar hat (specially if you're folically challenged, can get cold at night.. ive been told) smellies/toothbrush/toothpaste and wet wipes bog roll (take some off a roll and wind it round a flattened tube, saves space) towel trainers unless yr happy to walk about in yr boots and last but not least.. SUN CREAM!!  ( hopefully)   Thats the basics  if your cooking.. u need cooking stuff too! lol                                                                                                                                                                                       

Thank you for pointing that out to him HFG.... what else would they be for????                                                                                                                                                                                  

Alternatively;   1) Spare set of clothes and trainers 2) Spend the night in a nice hotel lol!!!   "Where's best place to get bungie cords to fasten tent to bike by the way?"   A bungie cord shop.  Or a bike or camping shop if you can't find one.
