motorcycle learnings at 250 miles

Two new learnings at the 250mi point:

1. The backpack straps down to the back!

   

   The balance of the bike feels so much better with the backpack low and riding without weight on my shoulders is so much more comfortable.

2. Ear Plugs are amazing! I noticed earplugs being worn on The Long Way Round and decided to try it out. It is really surprising how relevant noises (other cars, etc) make it through fine, but how much nicer it is to not have the wind noise!
