  1. Did you watch the movie "The accidental Tourist" with William Hurt? in this movie, he tells that packing is an art that comes from experience, and this is where "less is invariably more" came from, when it comes to packing for travel. When I traveled with my motorbike, the 70's, I had a tank bag, and carried another bag on the back end of my bike, where a passenger would have sat. Most of my travel was week-ends to go to the races around Europe. In these days, I carried a two spots tent. As I am exhausting the Tour du Texas stops around me, I am going to need to overnight somewhere, and bundle stops together. I only want to carry the strict necessary, and go with only what can fit in the small bag at the back of my bike (see the video herewith). I think I would only spend maximum two nights, so I can get by with nothing but the indispensable. Clothing, my riding gear will be on me, socks and shorts won't take much space, jerseys neither. What will take the most space are the compulsory accessories, mainly the stuff to charge all these batteries. Because they are all different; AirBag, Phone, Camera, Video Camera, Helmet Bluetooth. The Airbag, Camera, Video Camera all have dedicated chargers with their own cords. The Phone has a lightning connector; the Helmet audio, a micro USB port. I am not considering my phone to take pictures or make videos. Anything I may need on the road, I would buy. What do you guys pack on short trips? what do you favor to carry the stuff? any of you carry a back pack while riding?
