As the 2012 riding season is creeping in ever so slowly here in Wisconsin, I have been taking on the idea of doing some touring on my Ninja and was curious as to what the smart things are to pack for long distance riding. I also plan on going to the 2012 Ninja Rally which is quite the hike from where I live but I'm up to the journey of making my way down to NC where it has been planned to be and meet all of our great forum and other 250 riders.

I thought this was a good thread way back when about planning for a long motorcycle ride:
