Gear Suggestions
Hey Everyone,
I'm leaving May 3, 2011 for a 6-8 week cross-country USA/Mexico ride. I'm starting just outside of Philadelphia, PA I'll be zigzagging all over the country taking mostly back roads. My furthest southern (not in stone) destination is Cabo San Lucas, MX depending on how I feel I may ride up to La Paz and take the ferry across to the mainland then continue further south. So I was wondering if some of you can offer suggestions on a few items I don't have yet.
I'll be riding my trusty stallion....i know its not the typical bike used on this forum but its what i want to use
I have cortech sport saddlebags ( Cycle Gear - CORTECH: Sport Saddlebags, BLACK 2074.8 cu. In. / 34 L ) that I'll be using, I think my bike sits too low and the rear fender is a very odd shape to mount panniers and have them stabel. And I already have a tent that I have used during other shorter motorcycle rides ( 2 Up 2 Motorcycle Tent - Catoma Outdoor )
So the other things I need suggestions on are: a sleeping bag, rain gear (gloves, jacket, pants and i prefer something to pull over my regular riding boots rather than carry an extra pair of boots) I also have a Garmin 60csx can you tell me where you can buy mounts for the bike? any other suggestions or input is appreciated.
Thanks
Robert
