The day before "The day"

This is a blog about a trip that my friend and I are taking across the states on our motorcycles.


The route is about 11,000 km. The bikes we will be riding are a 2011 Suzuki SV650 and a 2012 Ducati Monster 696. This is my first year riding a street bike and Mikes first full year on a street bike. As of right now my experience on my bike is 7200Km and i believe Mikes is just over 8000Km.

My packing list is:

- Gears Canada Rain suit/Boot covers
- Icon waterproof gloves
- 6pr Socks
- 4pr Underwear
- Sweater
- 2X T-shirt
- Shorts
- Sweat Pants
- Tent
- Sleeping Bag
- Inflatable mattress
- MSR Pocket Rocket Stove w/2 large fuel canisters
- Camping shovel
- Camping cookware/cutlery
- Tinted visor
- Snacks for the ride

The GoPro camera i ordered from amazon which was supposed to come on Monday is now coming on Wednesday so i will have to buy another one for the trip. The plan is to leave Mississauga around 12PM and see how far we get before packing it in for our first night.
