Planning my first long trip

[napper]

Buy a $1 bottle of conditioner. Put some of it in a small bottle (like a hotel shampoo bottle).  Mark the bottle.  Use it for shaving cream.   It's what I use at home too.
Or you can buy travel size shaving cream.
I have a 'trial' size tube of toothpaste.  I refill it with my standard toothpaste by carefully pressing the 2 tubes together - done over the sink, as some does ooze out.

This may qualify you as the cheapest bastage, ever!!

Gotta be a Concours guy.  

EDIT: oops Beemer guy. Go figure. That makes sense though. Gotta refill those trial size toothpaste tubes to afford the maintenance costs + the Kermit chairs.

I just go to Target - they have a while aisle next to the Pharmacy with $1 travel size stuff like that

Call it what you will.  I call it 'priorities'.

Hundreds of miles many times. Thousands? Not so much.

Same here.  I've been on 3 trips over 1000 miles.  That's it.  I'm looking to take longer trips in the future.

All packed, loaded onto the trailer and heading east. I will be on the east coast this weekend.

Good luck, we all expect a ride report (with multitudes of pictures) when you get back.  Payback for all the good advice given here

Just wanted to thank everyone again for all the great advice. I packed 4 days worth of clothes plus 2 extra pairs of socks. I found the laundry detergent sheets and they are PERFECT.  I joined the MTN. I used it once and im gonna use it again next week. Im in Jacksonville, NC right now visiting a friend. He has a CBR600RR but its raining out. Next week ill be up in DC. 2WheelPioneer and I will be meeting up the second week of March. We haven't determined a route yet but the route that lolife posted looks good to me. Again if anyone wants to do some riding the second week of march let me know.  Oh, and btw I did use my big toothpaste to refill a smaller one lol.

When you get back you'll have to let us know what things you found work for you and what things don't.

Hey Kid--

              Have a safe ride and good luck with creating some memories that will last. I wish I knew you were starting in Panama City. I live 20 minutes from there! If you need any help you can reach me at foleyab@gmail.com. Later

Hello everyone. So sorry I haven't gotten back on here. As we all know lifevgets crazy. In fact, the trip came very close to not happening. But it did happen. And I am so happy it did. I saw some amazing sighted, met some really cool people, ate some great food and spent some great quality time with my bikevand the open road. I will try to upload some pics and fill in some details.

[SSLT1KID]

I keep trying to upload pix but my pix are too big. I will see if I can make the pix smaller on my phone.

Try uploading them to a free image hosting site like Flickr or Photobucket and then linking them back to this site from there. Problem solved  

Glad you had a great trip and we're looking forward to hearing about it/seeing it!
