We're riding from Dallas as well. However, since it's me and the hubby, he's riding the bike down and I'm driving the truck with all the gear. Beyond that, I have NO clue how you'd do it!

Talk to Ed. He can pack more stuff on Sally than a prospector can on a pack mule!

Didn't ed post a pic once of his bike? That thing was loaded like Donald Trump. As for me, I'll put my 2 chairs on the luggage rack then put my pack on top of them, the rest will go in the saddle bags. We'll probably only pack about 3 days worth of clothes and just use the laundry mat but summer clothes don't take up much room anyways, especially women's. God I love summer!
