Hope that helps

ive also never had a load shift under bungy cords, but then, i generally have a top box, and that supports most stuff.
i do remember i went to a book sale in palmy nth, and walked out with shit loads of bike mags. jammed as many in the top box as i could, as well as back pack, and then jammed some under the cargo net which went over the top of the top box. get less than a k out of palmy, check my mirrors... shit! no mags! pull over and get off... the mags are hanging about a meter above the road, swinging in the hammock that was my cargo net! LOL.
i use a set of blue and red bungies from supercheap... nice fat hooks, and the perfect length. plus, being fat hooks, they dont sting as much if they slip and crack you across the face! LOL.
ditch the backpack... it will cripple you.
have a walk every time you get gas, and also reset your trip meter every time you fill [unless you have a fuel gauge] i tend to get paranoid and fill before needed when on the road... its very rare i hit reserve. get gas before you leave home. long trips, im skint when eating and drinking... i dont get enough of either. normally, i will eat before i leave, and then not have anything til im stopped for the night. this is not something i recommend.
the guys have given you great advice... you will have a great time, and i look forward to meeting you!

There's a topic on in the Auckland Uni Motorcycle Club section....Begs the question "Why didn't he just ask to use the loo in the shop?"
Well the story goes like this, he went and asked the shop lady if there's a toliet, she said 'no' but obviously there was but she just didn't want him to use it. She suggested that you go 6 km down and there's a loo, but you know, when you gotta go you gotta go..

Lots of excellent advice in the above posts!
Ditch the backpack!!
If it can't be fixed with duct tape / cable ties / puncture repair kit OR knead it, you'll be needing a trailer/van/truck.
Travel light. Pack what you think you will need - then throw out at least half of that!
Jim2's advice is great. (Add that to the KB Wiki!)
Most important is to always have a rubber chicken. Many important uses! You never know when you will need a rubber chicken!

Have you tried to sit on the bike in all your gear with that pack?
When I went to get my Ohlins shock, Plan A was to pick it up using my big tramping pack. When I got on the bike though the top of the pack pushed my helmet forward and down. Bloody useless. Plan B was bungees.
A small pack might be OK but I'd still try it first

Hardcore Cruiser Biker..OK!
When we travel long distances we take
Basic Bike Tool Kit .
Tyre repair kit (not much bigger than a wallet)
Cellphone & Creditcard..
Wet gear & themal liners
One change of clothing (T-shirt and shorts)
its surprising how many places you can breakdown/puncture that is out of cell range.. especially if late at night and beggar all traffic..

Ahh crap.There's a topic on in the Auckland Uni Motorcycle Club section....
Well the story goes like this, he went and asked the shop lady if there's a toliet, she said 'no' but obviously there was but she just didn't want him to use it. She suggested that you go 6 km down and there's a loo, but you know, when you gotta go you gotta go..Speaking of such - loo paper as suggested earlier, OR a large wad of paper towels (or a 1/3 or 1/4 roll of them)... more uses than just wiping bums too...

A travel packet of baby wipes takes up way less room than loo paper or paper towels and cleans while it wipes.
Can be used to clean bugs off visors too.
If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?
