List of parts taken.  Some things (like spare kickstand bung) didn't get
weeded out due to lack of time before we left.  Sleeping bags were
sent back, giving us alot of extra room.  The thinking was that we are
following warm climates, and will likely not need them.  If we do, we'll
buy a cheap blanket along the way.

All of the following fit on two motorcycles.  Each motorcycle is equipped
with two panniers, top box and a tank/seat bag.  One of the bikes also
has some small tank panniers.
