I got tired of all my gear getting wet and just picked up the new Wolfman Expedition Dry Line saddlebags.

neat idea - as far as the motorcycle camping thing: been there, done that. I'm good thanks. I'll stay at a Hilton or even a Holiday Inn Express while you fight off damp and bugs, thanks.

Hilton doesn't have a view like this to wake up to . . .

Motorcycle camping is soooooo much better than staying in a stuffy hotel.

When I tour, I'll usually lay down a minimum of 500 miles, and I just don't feel like messing with camping gear at that point. Food, beer, and bed. Usually in that order.

You have FAR more touring experience than I do...but the touring I've done I've prefered a pace around 250-300 miles a day...a full day of riding but with time enough to enjoy the trip along the way. |

You're just a wuss, G
I might not get in 500 miles, but I'll bet my days are longer and harder than yours and I'd still MUCH rather camp than hole up in some hotel room.

The journey is always of utmost importance. Hell, I've managed to stop and take pictures even on my Iron Butt rides. Just because you're laying down a lot of miles doesn't mean you are rushing. It's all in time management, and I've gotten pretty good at my own time management.

 I've acquired quite a few "over the road enhancements" for my bike since that day...windscreen...better luggage instead of a backpack etc so it might be different now. I'll do about a 250 mile day Friday night after work...and have a 280 mile loop through the Ozarks lined up for Saturday. Four States in 3 days..should be a good time.
