Keep the Rubber side Down!

You meet the Nicest people on Motorcycles!

If you are going to the MOA rally in West bend, WI, I'll be there too. Usually there are 6-8000 men and women at those rallies, and nearly all of them camp. (sure, you learn that correct. three-4000 tents) It's now not rather that tough. You have got to % mild, specifically if you are going 2-up. Tent, napping luggage, napping pads, and garments are the naked requirements. Pack for the elements (so one can be scorching), and do not % too many cumbersome garments. There will probably be beaucoup meals providers, so you do not have got to take in house packing your camp range if you do not desire to. The MOA rally goes to have bathe trailers there. They're terrific. Hot water galore. Buy a microfiber camp towel (they % up small and dry swiftly) and bear in mind to convey it. MOA rally tenting isn't out-in-the-woods tenting. You would possibly not be with out meals, drink, and virtually something else you would want. A few years in the past, there was once a rally in West Virginia. A HUGE rainstorm blew up the primary day of the rally and placed a significant component of the rally grounds below a couple of inches of water. Some humans misplaced their complete tents within the river because of top winds. But humans collect in combination and ensure that their pals are OK. It's a high-quality crowd, and a high-quality time. Have a laugh!

It sounds like a fun time. I don't have anything to add, except that I wore my ipod for the first time on a fairly long trip last weekend. I have argued against it to a lot of people over the last few years, but I thought I would give it a try. It was a really nice change to have some music. I know it cuts down on hearing, but it'ts no worse than in my car. I didn't use it the whole time, but it was a really nice addition to the trip. There are times in long trips where just the joy of being out on the road loses its cool factor. I get bored and tired, and I feel like renting a truck to drive me and the bike home. It always passes, but it's still a bummer. The ipod really helped with that.

Before you go, buy very cheap socks, T shirt & underpants. One set for each day. When they have been worn once, throw them away. Makes it easier to pack every day you are away.

If you have a satnav, make sure you leave it at home, take a map instead. Pick a rough destination and head in that direction. If you miss a turning, go somewhere else. If you wanted an easy life you should have stayed at home & you shouldn't have bought a motorcycle. Go on have an adventure, you know you want to.

It sounds like you have a handle on things. My wife and I are motorcycle campers, but she's a camp cook,

Pissing near your bike to keep javalinas from trying to open the bags might be something you're not familiar with.

ride safe.
