Given my background and location. I am very interested in watching the rest of this series. Good luck not getting some of that cool stuff stolen. Petty crime has shot through the roof in Mexico this year as the police force has been reduced in half more...

I'm back from the trip. I had no problems with theft. I stayed away from large cities (nothing there I want to see anyways).

Some say organized, some say anal :P

A time-lapse of you packing that stuff would be awesome. As a rider I often don't think of all the stuff I tend to carry with me when I tour, but when you lay it all out, it makes a huge mess doesn't it?

Make a list, check it twice :)

Wow I thought I carried a lot of stuff. That tail bag, and saddlebag are the ones I am looking at picking up for my next long trip. I am tired of carring a big backpack. It just fatigueing to have to carry it. Very cool video.

The cortech bags are awesome. Highly recommended.

WOW that is a lot of stuff. :). I didn't see it there but I remember you had a tent you take with you.. are you taking that as well along with the associated sleeping bag? That would sure make for a large load though for sure.

I bet the bike feels more...

I decided not to camp on this trip. I just didn't want to deal with the extra luggage and burden of setting up camp every night.

The handling of the bike is much different once I have it loaded. Have to adjust the suspension, but after 100 miles I'm more...

Wow, you're like batman. Awesome array of gadgets you have there. I am impressed and jealous.

I assume you just didn't show it, but do you have a tire patching kit?

Can't wait to see the videos, they're always amazing. Have a blast on the trip!

Posted May 16, 08 by AtlasShrugger
Tire patch kit and pump are always under my seat whether I am touring or not. Additional tools are there as well (hence the small selection of tools I talked about).

I am like Batman. Now I just need a really cool utility belt. Oooh! Some bat shaped more...
