Camping on a sport tourer

Hi all
New to this site but not to riding. Recently I did a 27 day down the west coast from Canada right to the Mexican border and back, camping most of the way.
Note: our group opted for restaurants over cooking so that sort of gear was not packed.
I wrote an article online that has some tips for all types of riders although I expect many on here to be fairly experienced.

I hope you find it useful.
Cheers

Hi Mate,
I'm doing a similar length trip and camping my way around Tasmania in a couple of weeks and my packing list is almost identical to yours.
I couldn't help to notice your stand up video on aussies?
Very funny mate, very funny! Although I have to admit that is probably the worst Aussie accent I've ever heard in my life. Yet mate!

Cheers
Fab

Thanks for watching my video. Yeah, I admit my accent sucks...on purpose. I had a great time in Oz back in 05. I am looking forward to going back but on a motorcycle this time.
Keep us posted on your Tasmania trip. That island looks like a great place to tour.
Cheers

Most people rate Tassie as probably the Premier State for motocycling in Australia so I'll let you know in about a couple of weeks. You can check my progress on my blog Fab's Motorcycle Trip to Tasmania

Cheers
Fab
