All packed


I have been selecting what to take with me, distributing, packing, unpacking, organizing, re-packing for a few days but I think I'm finally done.   I have gone over the list multiple times ad nauseam.  I have added to the list at the last minute and checked-off the list multiple times. 
This is the final setup before putting everything away.


On my last post I had put the sleeping bag in my MotoPak but the little bag with the camping stove, fuel, and other necessities didn't fit inside.  I was also stressing the zipper and I don't need the bag to burst on me.  I have decided to put the sleeping bag in a waterproof bag and strap it to the top of my left pannier.  This leaves empty space inside the MotoPak but it will become useful when I buy stuff along the way.



The orange bag has the underwear and the green has the socks, the two bags will fit inside the left pannier where all the clothes are packed.  The MotoPak now has some space, I can always move something from the right pannier to the MotoPak if I need to carry food which I plan on doing before I head to a campsite everyday.  The right pannier has my rain gear in the black bag in the back, easy to get to if it starts raining.


Everything is packed and the panniers and MotoPak are ready to be put on the bike.  The top pannier has enough space left to put candy, energy bars and snacks for those lonely stretches of road.


Tomorrow I will do an oil and filter change since from my house to Whitehorse is about 3700 miles.  I will do the next oil change at the Yukon Yamaha dealer in Whitehorse.
It appears the nights are getting longer, I keep turning in bed thinking about the trip as my departure day approaches. 

Some of the guys have already started heading out.  I will be riding solo all the way to Whitehorse where I will meet the other Super Tenere owners.
