Bare minimum to take for a long distance ride
My buddy and I are going on a 3500mile ride this july we are starting in detroit, heading to new orleans, into texas and the back home. 12 states in all. Im planning on bring my tent sleeping bag toilettries, 3 pairs of clothes and rain gear, and a coat and my vest. What else do you recommend, im trying to pack real light

+1 on the credit card. I'd suggest notifying your bank on your travel dates. I was rear ended in Grand Forks North Dakota during a cross country ride and had a problem with my card/bank when I least needed it.
I'd definitely pack some sun-screen, first aid kit and flashlight if you have the room.
Have a great time!!!!

Agree with credit card. A woman can be a nice addition to a trip also, depending on how well she like you....Seriously, consider even a hand held GPS (great for finding fuel when you don't know where you are), raingear because you will probably be riding in the rain, as many pairs and different shades of riding glasses as you can, from super dark shades to clear, and if your helmet will allow it, some sort of flip down non-fog visor (see riding in the rain). You can live in a pair of jeans until they wear out but may want to hit a landry. A pair of comfortable walking shoes. I try to plan for every weather event possible, which includes cold.
