How to pack the bike
I seem to remember a posting about what people carry in their tank bags but have been unable to find it. Planning has been fun but now I'm having trouble trying to fit everything in and I have a side car! It seems to me that there must be a strategy based on usage, i.e., things needed during the day, needed once a day (mattresses, tent, kitchen, etc), seldom needed (spare parts, tools, etc.) but not having a ridden this long (14-16 months) I find myself at a bit of a loss.
I would appreciate any help, suggestions, etc. that anyone can provide. FYI - I have a Chang Jiang sidecar rig with saddle bags, tank paniers and tank bag. Also know that I am carrying two large Therm-A-Rest mattresses and a six man tent (at 64, my wife and I do need a few extra things take along).
Thanx for the help.
