Motorcycle Saddle Bagsleather saddle bags
What should I pack for a four day motorcycle ride?
I've been invited to ride along with a club, on a four day trip through the southeast, rain or shine. They're going to meet club members in other states, so the majority of our time will be spent in the saddle. We'll be camping nights, and eating at diners. I'm packing a tent and sleeping-bag and thinking about carrying $100-$200 in cash. I'm debating on whether to bring a rainsuit or just wear my leathers should it rain. I don't have enough space in my saddle bags to carry a full change of clothing for each day. I don't even know if I will get a chance to shower during the trip. Any advice on what I should or should not bring on the trip would be greatly appreciated.
I'm riding my own motorcycle.
You might just need to freshen up in a restroom somewhere, or truck stops often have showers. maybe you can shower while everyone else eats, then just grab something quick to eat.
Couple changes of outerwear (pants, shirt) and everyday change for undies and socks. Bring extra pair of undies and couple socks in case you do get soaked.
I'd skip the sleeping bag (esp in the southeast) and bring a bed sheet and a blanket, will take up less space.
I got a good rain suit, a 2 piece, called Frogg Toggs "Roadtoad" suit, kept me dry very well, but if the sun comes out you don't sweat all up like most others. Costs was good, around $50.
OH WAIT most campgrounds have shower facilities, maybe not the "best" but will be OK.
If space becomes a problem, add more space! You could probably forget the outerwear if you can pack a rain suit. I wouldn't skimp the underwear, ewwwww! The Frogg Togg suit packs up pretty tight, comes with a storage bag too. If you are pretty sure you can stay dry, then skip the outerwear replacements, I'd mainly worry about the outerwear getting soaked, not stinky (at least if you can find a shower every day)
