With all my gear purchased, today was the day to start packing. I am taking a carry on bag with all my clothes, and a checked bag with all my motorcycle gear in it. There was a lot of stuff to buy/collect before my trip. An incomplete list includes:

  • GPS
  • water filter
  • basic motorcycle repair tools
  • GoPro
  • international driver’s license
  • motorcycle jacket/pants/gloves
  • small first aid kit
  • various other tidbits, as well as clothing and toiletries

The state of my packing and all the things I’m taking:

Crazy to think that everything I’m going to need for the next month or so will have to fit into these two bags.
