Smallish items can be draped over an a/c / heater vent or unit in a room.  The continual air flow helps.

I'm kinda partial to the bike shorts route -- cheap, quick drying (on and off) and a little more padding....

Now this is not the BB we know and love.  I can take it if you yell at me about wanting to pack fewer clothes and am willing to do my laundry in the bathroom sink and put the same things back on in the morning.  You will only endear yourself more to me to know that you cared enough to say something.

Bill,
       You get a free pass from me on this one.

2 people, 1 motorcycle - 26 days.
You da man  !
 OK Anne too  :)

While I truly wish my wife were able to accompany me, I am soooooooooooo selfish about sharing my storage space.  I can carry enough for any amount of time on the road, so long as I do laundry every 10 days. But then again, LD was built from scratch for just this purpose wasn't it. A lifetime of experience went into the layout of that bike. The Big E is strictly a daytripper.

I can easily carry enough stuff and do plan on doing laundry, but when a company advertises that you can go around the world with two pair of underwear - wash in evening put back on in morning, I am intrigued.  Silly me, I was going to wait until we were on the road to try it out, so Bill trying his out helped me out a bit.  Now I know I got to try this too just to make sure I know what I am getting into.  Of course, we are two people on two bikes.  But Anne is a trooper.  Jamey pointed out last fall that when Anne came out of the motel room to head homeward, she was carrying a saddle bag liner, with hardly anything it it.  Not one of our liners or three t-bags would even be considered clost to being empty.

Anne gets a saddlebag, I get a saddlebag.  Tourpack carries computer and new shirts.  On top of tourpack will be raingear, beanies and probably heated liners.  every 6 days or so we will ship home a load of once worn shirts.

Really taking the Gerbing stuff this trip?  I'd (pretty well) decided not to.

with the raingear (thin HD GoreTex) as our only jacket it makes the most sense....I also remember the Friday Morning leaving Cripple Creek....very cold.
