The List

Ok, so I am days away from packing my motorcycle and leaving it all packed up and ready to go for the day we leave. My logic being that after working a night shift the night before I can wake up, eat, shower, hop on my bike and leave. No time wasted, no stress incurred. Obviously I had to make a packing list to ensure I don't forget anything, and here is what it looks like so far:

-Riding Jacket
-Riding Jeans (armored jeans for motorcycle riding)
-Long Underwear x 2 (might need to double them up in colder weather)
-Rain Pants
-Leather Gloves
-GorTex three season riding gloves
-Face Mask
-Thick Wool Socks x 2
-Regular Wool Socks x 2
-Cooling Vest
-Ear Plugs
-Sunglasses
-Clear Lens Goggles (for night riding)
