Today I did a preliminary pack of the Nelson-Rigg Tour Pack. This bag is going to be perfect for this trip. Everything I have learned thus far is to take only two of everything (wear one; pack one) so just to test the bag for overall capacity I packed 3 of everything and didn't come close to filling it up. I kept the weight under 20 pounds also, so by eliminating a few things I'll have plenty of room for an extra set of boots and, of course, my leather jacket for those cold rides in the mountains. By moving some stuff around I'll probably have room in the saddle bags for the boots. Then I'll put the tent on one side of the saddle bags and the sleeping bag on the other and that should balance everything out. Just think, only 10 more months to test it out and then we're off. I wonder which one of us will forget that "most important item" and discover it first?
That's enough trivia for now. Now I can check one more thing off the ever expanding list of things to do and learn.
