JUST KEEP ME MOVING:
Mission to Montana
EVERYTHING BUT THE KITCHEN SINK
The
following is a list of everything packed on my motorcycle when I left
Montana, headed for Alaska. Believe it or not this all fits in
standard BMW luggage, including a tank bag, side cases, and a top
case. All of the camping gear, as well as a few spares, are stored
in an Ortlieb dry bag, strapped across the rear seat.
