I would add this:
If you take medication regularly, be sure to take a couple extra day’s supply along in case of a delay.

Carry accurate contact information for family / friends so that emergency personnel can reach them if necessary. This should also list any allergies you have.

Cell phone. You mentioned this in the article, but not in the packing list. Don’t forget to bring a charger or extra battery.

I loved this one. I’d ruin it talking about what got inside me about this piece, but it’s all right there. Thanks.

I enjoyed reading this .

I was told in my youth that you should be able to adjust the points until they spark a hole in a “cigarette paper”. I never tried that one as I couldn’t really understand the method. As soon as a cigarette paper got involved, I couldn’t understand a thing!

The smoke cleared a long time ago and I found most things on my shovelhead to be pretty simple, though I don’t get into the cases or transmission.

I really enjoyed reading this. Got here through somebody’s facebook page, I guess, and will be back. Well written and very engaging. Thanks!
