I did not want to wake up the day we were going to leave without having packed everything on the bike, to see that it actually fit, including our co-pilot Caro! So after having packed the backpack, the side bags, and folded the tent, we brought everything out to the motorbike.
At the end, after everything was strapped on the bike, we were quite happy with the result! Everything fit!! Moreover, the bike is not overburdened nor packed excessively horizontally nor vertically. Although the wind is strong, I think she will be solid on the road, not catch to much headwind, nor be hard to balance due its relatively low centre of gravity.
Even though there are always more things you haven´t thought of, there is still space in the backpack, so I´m not worried. Spare parts packed, food and water will come later. So when the two of us took our seat, we were both comfortable and satisfied! We will take a tour to the national park tomorrow before heading off on friday!!
Now Caro has started to work on a comfortable cushion, to make the long distances not soo terribly long! Even if the Tornado is an incredible bike to travel with, the seat makes you stop every 1-2 hours because of pain-in-the-butt!! - To say the least, Im excited to see the result!

Well, you're such an avid traveler now, so I would've been surprised if your "tetrising" skills weren't able to fit everything :)
