How I (over) pack for a motorcycle world tour: PART 2

[@ppger44]

Great video! Thats how I plan to load my V-Strom 650 Adventure since I can't have a sidecar attached to it or pull a trailer.

Cool.. I'd love to see you set up camp... With that gear... Thanks... My packing vids are more street driving... I like to see the off road stuff also.

Very practical video. Enjoy seeing it on and off the bike. Seeing it spread on a garage floor like lots of other videos is less helpful. You look like you are out there for a while. What did you pack for clothing? X shirts, X long pants, X shorts, etc. You don't seem to carry much food either. Do you anticipate not going more than 1-2 days without a chance to buy food? Last question, traveling alone, what do you do when you need to go in a store? Just leave it outside? Thanks.

Eron Iler Good questions. I had 3 short-sleeve shirts, 2 long-sleeve, 1 pair of swim trunks that doubled as shorts, 1 pair of rugged long pants, and 1 pair of sweatpants. I also had wool thermal underwear (top and bottom) in case it got unbearably cold. If I needed to pack groceries I would pack them into my spare sling bag and wear it over my shoulder or keep the food in plastic bags tied to my duffel bag. Try to keep your bike within view from where ever you go, whether it be a restaurant or store. One thing I've learned is that most people will not pay attention to a bike if it has a motorcycle cover over it. There are also motorcycle alarms that will go off when someone gets too close to the bike. It does wonders for peace of mind.

I see you concern with not putting food near the oils and petrol only to give yourself a far more likely risk by travelling with that machete blade pointing towards your back and neck ha ha. You wouldn’t want to get bumped from the rear at lights lol. Top vids, really enjoyed them. Hope journey went well as see these a few years ago.
