This obviously depends on where you will be driving. In the US West, it's
not at all uncommon to be out of reasonable walking distance of water,
especially water you would want to put in a radiator, let alone 20/50. In
the desert, I also carry lots of water for occupants, which can be used in
the radiator in a pinch. A mylar reflective blanket (shade) and a few
thousand calories of food are also good things to have along in the desert.

My Triumph (well, one of them at least) is my "darely driver" <g>
