This is a good question because I'm doing the same thing next week. I don't have a tank bag but I will have leather saddlebags to but my clothes in for the ride home. Still trying to decide if I should carry on my boots(cruiser type boots) or just wear them on the plane. I figured leather jacket and helmet would be carry on and the rest of my stuff will be checked.

if your checking in things, put the boots in a box and wear comfy shoes. unless the carrier charges for "check-in" then minimize the check in stuff.

Helmet, jacket, boots - all can be worn.
Other than that, I'd bring deodorant and buy underwear along the way.

Put helmet in a helmet bag...turn it upside down and fill it full of whatever you can fit in there. Take backpack and you can even put a tank bag in there full of crap. Wear boots or put them in backpack.
Fedexing the stuff isn't a a bad idea either. Checking the cardboard box and then tossing it isn't a bad idea as long as they don't steal your $hit.

I just did something similar last week. The difference was that my bike and my gear were all together. I flew down with just a backpack with my camera, phone, iPod, and clothes. When i got there I packed everything I didnt need to ride back (spare helmets, jackets, boots, gloves..etc) in two boxes and sent them to my place UPS. Shipping was pretty cheap so Id recommend mailing anything you can to avoid hassles at the airport.

Packing my stuff. Having trouble finding a place for my porn. I don't want to take my laptop or netbook and you just can't beat paper back sometimes.

I'm not just flying there and riding straight back. I'm staying for a day or two. |
