MJ, you could look around on the ADV site I posted above in the comments. There are tons of people there who can help you, as well as plenty of packing lists and such you could probably search through.

You can take as much or as little as you need

I am getting ready to ride on my own from Fenton, Missouri to San Antonia TX and down along Padre island. I will be camping on the way. Any idea how I shown plan on what to take? I am very excited about the trip and wonder if anyone else has decided to just pack up and go to Padre island. Thank MJ

Thanks James, I’ll be sure to check it out…ok back! Searched for ‘MetalJockey’ and was looking through his Zambian adventure on one of my favorite bikes btw. Awesome pictures too, thanks for the link and recommendation.

Another great resource for inspiration, ideas, community and assistance on motorcycling trips is the Adventure Rider forums at http://www.advrider.com

It was started by one of the co-founders of SmugMug.com, the photography site. Looking through the ride reports forums alone is a way to get lost in travels in every part of the world (my favorite is any thread by MetalJockey. Do a search for Angola on the site.)

Slow yes, but it’s fun to be your own motor and good for your body too!
