I made the trip from GA to CA with my tank bag and backpack. My biggest issue was thinking that I ran out of gas (likely, the tank formed a vacuum and just needed to be opened/closed) and getting severely chapped face, neck, chest, etc. My skin was peeling for weeks after the cold, dry air sapped all the moisture from it and killed the top layers. I didn't even know until days later. If you ride in the winter, look for some kind of clinical-strength moisturizer!
