Check list for travel gear

I found this list of things to consider on a "Motorcycle Camping" Website. It is a very complete list and I don't think we will have to take everything on it since much of our overnight lodging will be in "less than 5 Star" hotels; with apologies to our member from New York. But, it's a good planning tool and one I intend to use to start packing the bags and loading onto the bike for practice.
