Packing Volume 1: The Clothing Edition

So what does one pack for an extended motorcycle journey through all climates and conditions?  Good question, and one I hope we figure out sometime before we leave.  Mike didn't seem to have too much trouble in deciding what clothes he wanted to bring.  I, on the other hand, spent a lot of time trying to figure out what clothing would be perfect.  I was concerned with drying time and not looking like I am about to embark on an epic jungle safari.  I'm sure we am nowhere close to perfection, but this is what we are going to go with:
