	&lt;p&gt;We have been out for seven day trips and have yet to find ourselves wanting more space or more stuff. Think about it: You are going to need fuel almost everyday, and it&amp;#8217;s not like you are traversing the Gobi Desert for the first time ever (although it would probably allow you to do a trip like that). And once you really pare it down to the essentials, you realize that truly, &amp;#8220;less is more.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The advantages:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&#8226; saddlebag integrated into bike &amp;#8211; no rack required&lt;br /&gt;&#8226; better position for rider&lt;br /&gt;&#8226; better weight distribution&lt;br /&gt;&#8226; safer &amp;#8211; no busted legs from hard-shell touring boxes&lt;br /&gt;&#8226; bombproof &amp;#8211; no racks or mounts to snap off and break&lt;br /&gt;&#8226; looks cooler, with cleaner lines&lt;/p&gt;
