Expected to have to leave the bike provided a safe place because you will not remove all baggage. The garage can be rented by the hour is a good resource, talk to the guard to throw you some miradilla your bike, a tip is a good card.
A hotel is the best choice of accommodation, also roadside motels. I am among those who travel from camping in camping, with a small igloo tent … Well I and a lot of bikers. You all servcios, sleep next to your bike and make good social gathering place for travelers on a bike if you find them. He is one of the cheapest options.
Look before you leave a good camping guide to set the stops on the trip. And a good mobile Internet access to the network can give you more information.

Prepare your bike to ride with luggage

I have traveled on a motorcycle with tank bag and backpack with octopuses tied to the back, but I assure you that the time invested every day in fifth and put the octopus, it would have been better to invest in a good set of luggage.
As a recommendation, puts everything staple in the tank bag. Wallet, camera, maps … For two reasons, first because if you lose one you can easily remove it and prevent you remove what is necessary … Do this even if you get off the bike to pay for refueling, traveling alone there are a few friends gossiping on the lookout for motorists.

Now he has set to carry a video camera “onboard” on the bike, you have some HD at a great price and can be placed in the helmet or handlebars of the bike. Final assembly with music or comments can be spectacular.
Be careful with credit cards and magnets of the tank bag is not found but I have the intuition that might affect its magnetic strip.
