Heck Yeah, I Can Pack Light!!!

There are times when I ride on the back of Harley Man's motorcycle...especially when we venture into the mountains.  Why??  I really am not comfortable with riding my motorcycle in the mountains.  I've done it many times but I just can't get comfortable with it just yet.  Go figure!!

Anyways...we travel on the motorcycle on short weekend trips to various locations.  When we first started these trips, I had no clue how to pack for a weekend.  I mean- a girls got a lot of important stuff to take on a trip, right??  There's clothes, hairdryer, curling iron, makeup, shoes, jackets...you get the idea.  Well, lots of that important stuff has to stay behind when packing for a motorcycle trip.  Geez..it's not fair!!

I had no clue how to pack "lightly" the first time and Harley Man was not a happy camper!  So I decided I better use my researching skills to find out how other "biker babes" packed for a trip.  Low and behold, there are actually sites where a girl can learn the fine art of motorcycle packing!!!  It's an art, okay maybe not an art, but that's how I think of it.  Rolling clothes is the way to go when packing. 


So now when I pack for a weekend bike trip...this is what I actually take!!!  Go Deb!!! :) 


 Yep, a pair of jeans, a pair of shorts, three shirts, lingerie, socks, makeup, shampoo/conditioner, toothbrush/toothpaste, perfume/lotion, brush/comb, hair dryer, straighting iron, 2 bandannas!!!  That's plenty for a weekend stay.  Amazing, right???  LOL, okay maybe not amazing but "Heck Yeah, I Can Pack Light"!!!
