I plan to fly from Melbourne Int. Airport to Richmond Int. Airport on Monday the 13th. ctandc will meet me there and take me to his house to pick up my new ride. I'll then head to Virginia Beach on the bike to stay a night or two with some friends. Then I'll make my way to Melbourne Florida to my parents house.
I will probably stop at Shaw AFB in South Carolina for the night and finnish the trip the following day.
I've read http://katriders.com/vb/showthread.php?t=69418. CP's touring guide and have purchased a few things for the road.
The bike has:
A tall touring shield.
Throttelmeisters bar ends.
A tire repair kit with CO2.
A tool kit with correct sockets to fit the kat.
Basic first aid kit.
I have:
A good skid lid with both tinted and non tinted shield.
Basic, but waterproof and very warm, jacket with matching pants.
Pair of Gortex leather boots. They are waterproof and steal toed.
A kind of neck scarf.
Good pair of gloves. Only problem is they are medium to light weight.
Some things I'm considering buying:
Electric heated vest.
A wiring kit to connect my cell phone to the battery.
I'll have a backpack and/or a duffel bag strapped to the rear of the bike that will have a change of clothes or two, clean socks, and anything else I might need to carry.
Any thoughts/comments/concerns regarding my my travel plans?
