Packing, repacking, assembling, disassembling… lots of this going on right now… There’s even a possibility of me now shipping the bike instead of bringing it on the plane…. more on that when I figure it out, but for now, here’s my updated packing list, I’ll be “weighing in” once I’ve found someone to lend me a scale. I’ve also noted the location of items, as my saddlebags are all labeled with pictograms to distinguish what’s where.
