You'll find the more you travel the less you'll take...as others have said...use laundry facilities at motels. We wear alot of light weight material clothing that can be washed and rinsed in the sink at night....ring it out and it will be dry in the morning.
This site could help you narrow things down and create a list that you can tweak in future years....
skip the leather .bring your rain gear no wind ets through rain gear bring some long sleaves or hoodies.all you need is one pair of jeans a couple shirts and socks and underwear for ever day.most camp grounds around there have laundry.so you really dont need much.you can buy warm clothes as needed.i always pack more shit home than i left with.brought pillow i bought in sturgis home last year.get a cargo net or two and an expandable t bag.
We went to sturgis this year for the first time. We brought WAY too much. My best advise, wear one pair of jeans and bring one more ( switch off), bring maybe 2 or three t-shirts, as you will buy a TON there. Then you can then have a new clean t-shirt when needed. Bring just enough underwear and socks ( and tell the wife one bra is enough). We stayed in a cabin, and mailed up sleeping bags, towels ect, and UPS gave us a return label to ship back. All you do is call for the pickup when ready.
There are huge deals on everything harley there, you really do not need much. and use zip lock bags and squeeze the air out, also saves space.
So basically pull out everything you "think" you will need and cut that in half and that will be perfect.

You don't have to get in the dumpster. The PO will furnish the flat rate boxes.
Yeah, the box may be flat, but the price to ship is inflated, because they go thru Priority mail....I can ship a whole lot more in my own box via Parcel Post for way less bucks.

True. I guess it just depends on how the dumpster looks before we go in. Might still pay the extra.

I don't care what kind of motorsickle you have, you won't have enough room. The essentials are rain gear and cold weather gear, (yeah I know Sturgis is in August) but you will need cold weather gear. After that is packed then see how much room you have left, then fill it up with clothes. Probably about 2 or 3 days worth is all you can get in the remaining room. Then ship or buy the rest. Besides an overloaded motorbike is no fun at all. Having too little is way better than hauling around too much stuff all the time.
