Call me crazy, but I think there's something cool about a bike loaded with gear.
Whenever I see one, images of someone enjoying life comes to mind. I even feel a little envious, wondering where they've been and where they're going... There's something about waking up miles from home, loading up the gear and heading out on a long ride far from the usual stomping grounds.
As far as bags, I have a hiker's back pack with it's own ridge frame, which makes it easy to strap to the sissy bar. Not to mention, it can carry a lot of gear.

The world breaks everyone, and afterward, *some* are strong at the broken places.

As for over packing...there are Wally Worlds and laundry mats most anywhere you go, no need to go overboard.

I have the T-Bags Lone Star. The main compartment is expandable, and it has the sleeping bag roll, and includes a smaller bag as well, kinda like a day trip bag. It is tough, big, and easy to get on and off the bike, which I like. I haven't done any camping trips, and I don't currently plan on it. I like being able to take it off and just put everything in my room at my destination and lock it all up. That way I don't have to run around with it hanging off the bike all day.

There is another roll pack that goes on top of my bag (not the one on the front fender) that holds 2 sleeping bags....honest, it does, they are the adult size Swiss army light weight bags and they compact down very small. I zip them together to make any Extra large kingsize bag and it folds up and fits in the roll pack.
