Sure! <br>
How much can you carry in those saddlebags? Ten, maybe 15 pounds per
side? How much does water weigh, 8 Lbs/gallon. How much water are you
going to need on your 5 hour trip into the desert, where you are
completely exposed to the elements? 1.5-2.0 gallons. Emergency spares
for the bike? 5 Lbs. Misc. gear such as food, spare batteries (luckily
an RTW brochure is almost weightless, so cache trade weight is minimal)
and such, 3 Lbs. Extra clothing (assuming you can find the space to
cram it in) , 5 Lbs. Now your jaunty motorcycle is rather weighted
down, is less maneuverable, and rather prone to breaking in rough
terrain.<br>
I would say the best option would be to trailer the bike, or load it
into the pickup, and drive to a cache-dense area to find caches from a
base-camp sort of setup. <br>
Perhaps that is what you had in mind?<br>

The biggest problem with a motorcycle is the limited amount of supplies you
can carry.
Then there is the fact that you're pretty much exposed to whatever weather
is happening.

That's what saddlebags are for!!! :) I could also get a handlebar mount for
the GPS! WEHEW!!! What a geocaching mobile that would be! The weather thing
could be a problem... but in Arizona, a limited problem.
