Started to pack up the NT700 for my Trip on Thursday. As I stated earlier I am going to stop in Dodge City, Kansas and site see for an afternoon. Then on to Harra Oklahoma to partake in my friends (Fred D from the ST-Owners Forum) Maint. Clinic for the ST1300. I will spend a couple of days there and then head south to my previous place of residence, Wichita Falls Texas. After that I am going to wander around Texas at hit Dallas/Fort Worth area( Will try and make a breakfast at the Blue Hanger), and then work my way down south and do some Hill Country riding and visit Fort Sam Houston and San Antonio. I will go bother some friends that I have in the area and try to kill enough time riding around the Hill Country, to be able to attend CheapSTOC, being held at Campwood Texas this year on the 6th of May. Then on home. Just in time to do my wash, change motorcycles , kiss my wife and head out to Moab, Utah. I figure this trip will be about 2500 to 3000 miles and take three weeks. I will try to update my post of this ride to this Thread as time passes. Also I will try and upload pictures of my travels.
I like to pack a few days early and then let it sit as I then have time to think of what I forgot to pack. Here are a couple of shots of the bike all packed up, To include min. amount of camping gear. I found that with the large pannier lids I can fit more in /on the NT700 than I can with the ST1300. It has to do with the shape of the panniers. If I am in your area and you happen to have a floor for me to sleep on, sure would appreciate it. Hope to see you on the road.
