I have been able to put almost 400 miles on my Tenere and still loving it. My wife has a beach trip with her family (4-5 hours away) about 6 weeks away and I have thought of riding the bike down. Now I feel I don't have the proper gear to wear down for a trip like this. I also don't have any luggage. I am looking for tips on both of these fronts.
I have been looking at luggage and like the idea of panniers but I hate what I am finding. I really wish I could find something like what the FJR offers that look a little more stylish than a box. I understand that function rules over form with big adv bikes, I am just surprised there isn't a more attractive option.
As far as gear I have thought of going to Cycle Gear and just getting an Explorer outfit (thoughts?), I want something I can take into a rain shower and my current Kevlar jeans and leather boots I wear don't fit the bill for that.
I have done ample searches on these topics and didn't find enough to answer my questions properly.
