Cross-Country Motorcycle Trip Sponsors?

[Quickdraw22]

I'm planning on a truly badass 3-5 week cross country motorcycle trip, with dips into Mexico and (hopefully) BC. I'll be documenting the whole thing on Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, and Reddit (Calamari and Motorcycle subs).

Does anyone on here know of a few businesses that would want to provide a small sponsorship? I'm fairly certain I'd need a new set of tires after 3-5K miles, which will be a main expense. As of now, I just need a small 2 person tent, hammock, and a Natl Park pass card. A solid G17 holster would be nice as well With a sponsorship, they'd be more than welcome to plaster my (huge) bike with their logo of choice, and I'll plug them every chance I get. Hell, if they ask nicely, I'll go explore a destination of their choice and make a whole day out of it for them with tons of pictures.

I've gotten a response from RevZilla and Motorcycle Superstore, but am waiting to get all of the details ironed out - I just figured I would see if any local guys would want to help out. Nothing is too small (seriously), a camping store donated a coffee mug - I put their sticker on my trunk

Oh a different note, if anyone has done any cross country/ironbutt rides - what sort of things did you bring, and what would you do differently?

Maybe Cabela's, or one of the local sporting goods stores. I also like to plug Friendly any chance I get, so maybe ask them. I don't know if Cycle Gear does that type of thing or not.

What are you riding that burns through tires in 3-5k of highway riding?

The previous set on my GSXR lasted exactly 2700 miles

I'm on a Honda PC800 this time. I've put 500 miles on the basically new Metzelers, and they're wearing much faster than I expected for such a hard tire. I don't ride this like a Harley - and don't expect to get Harley tread life out of these.

To all curious, this is what I shall be piloting. This is also why I can't have nice things.
