How To Pack For Long Motorcycle Trips

[@thedustychronicles739]

Mr & Mrs HDR (Jack & Mary), this was a fantastic and informative video!! We see and hear You Jack all the time and it was so nice to see and hear your co-pilot Mary. She definitely has the 2 wheel traveling figured out!! Ride and be safe my friends!! Thank you for sharing!!

[@HarleyDayRider]

Thanks and she does have it under control. Ride Safe

[@mikebodine4164]

Thank you Mr & Mrs HDR very informative. I will be using most of your recommendations on my world record poker run.

[@HarleyDayRider]

We are glad to help! Ride Safe

[@bobnelson2499]

Great information as always guys. Jack, you and Mary are a blast and thanks for being there.

[@HarleyDayRider]

Thanks we had a fun trip for sure. Ride Safe

[@bderryberry4987]

One more tip, Get rid of the HD aluminum bag attach screws and get some stainless hex button head screws to attach saddle bags with. They save room, have a bit more security against bag theft and don't intrude or hinder closing and locking your bag lids.

[@HarleyDayRider]

Very good advice thanks for sharing. Ride Safe

[@motorcycleden]

The ladies do take good care of us! Adjusting the suspension is a great tip! Thanks for a great video guys👍

[@HarleyDayRider]

We are glad we can help! Ride Safe

[@BoDean52]

Great tips from you and your bride, this will help us next time for sure!

[@HarleyDayRider]

We learn each year something new we can do to make the trip an enjoyable one. Ride Safe

[@dbest1aVlogs]

Great tips . It's so easy to get in over your head , especially as a passenger. Really great how you both came up with methods to stay comfortable and happy. Very much appreciated

[@HarleyDayRider]

Thanks and you hit the nail on the head take what you need for comfort on those long over to road trips. Ride Safe

[@Viper6-MotoVlogger]

Awesome information. I’m usually pack too much stuff, like I have to survive in the woods for a week lol.

[@HarleyDayRider]

We have learned over the years take only the basics. Ride Safe

[@tennwingman3350]

I commend Mrs HDR on her packing, my wife would never make that, lol. When I go by myself I can use the space on the bike but when the wife comes along for anything more than an overnighter then its the trailer, which I don't really mind because it gives a place for jackets and helmets when we go in somewhere. Thanks for the video.

[@HarleyDayRider]

Yes you have to use what works for you. Our jackets fit on the back of the bike under the ROK straps when we are not wearing them. Ride Safe

[@slyguyaction]

We have those same saddlebag liner/bags and they're great. We use a TourPak bag with velcro straps also. All Harley branded but besides the camera bags, we use the same stuff. Great packing tips as the missus and I prepare for our first couple trip to Sturgis from So. Cal. I've rode it once but thrilled to bring her along this time. Keep us updated and ride safe.

[@HarleyDayRider]

I can't wait to hear how your trip gos I am sure both of you will have a blast. Glad we could help. Ride Safe

[@dabishop9060]

Yep,You'll have a it down pat...Good you have your wife to take care of the minor things Safe and Good Trip.

[@HarleyDayRider]

She is a planner for sure. Ride Safe

[@RoadGlideAndy]

Had to get my wife cut back on the stuff she wants to take. Right side saddle bag does not change ever, both rain suits, tool kit, first aid kit, hat. Have a hard t bag similar to the Rick rack, trick is to keep heavy items low, lighter items high. Vacuum seal bags are great space savers as well. Stay safe.

[@HarleyDayRider]

Very good points. Ride Safe

[@Wind.Road.Therapy]

Love having Mrs. HDR on with her tips and dual vlogging! Great video

[@HarleyDayRider]

She is very good at riding and packing. Ride Safe

[@HarleyDayRider]

She is very good at riding and packing. Ride Safe

[@Wind.Road.Therapy]

@@HarleyDayRider love the interaction and a woman's perspective. Nicely done sir.

[@Ron_C]

Awesome tips! Definitely stay off the superlab, people on the interstates are nuts.

[@HarleyDayRider]

You are very correct. Ride Safe

[@SinisterClutch]

You pack very simple and organized. I can vouch for the ROK straps. They are awesome! I always keep my rain gear in the bag it came with but taking it out does make it easy. Great tips🤘

[@HarleyDayRider]

Taking it out we found makes it less bulky. Chat to you tonight. Ride Safe

[@Bullwolf1965]

Thanks for sharing. Alot of good info.

[@HarleyDayRider]

Thanks. I am glad you enjoyed the video. Ride Safe

[@PinksAdventures]

Great tips and tricks!...looks like you guys had a great trip!!...stay safe...ride safe!!😎👍🤙👍🤙🇨🇦

[@HarleyDayRider]

We made some memories for sure. The storms down South kept us away from where we were really going which was Key West Florida. We made the best out of heading no where and trying to miss the big storms. Ride Safe

[@TheBoyers]

Some great tips. Hope you all are enjoying your trip!

[@HarleyDayRider]

Amazing time out on the road. Thanks! Ride Safe

[@MotoByChance]

Just another reason I love riding my own. We have so much more room! 😁 Great tips and advice for those that are touring 2 up. 👍🏻😎🏍🖤

[@HarleyDayRider]

I've tried to get Mrs. HDR on her own bike. I guess she just likes being close to me? Ha ha. Ride Safe

[@MotoByChance]

@@HarleyDayRider well… that is not a bad thing. 👍🏻😎 So glad you guys had a great trip and time together.

[@RoysMotoVentures]

Nice video. Thanks for the great info. Hoping to use it sometime soon.

[@HarleyDayRider]

We are always happy we can help out. Ride Safe

[@Broncoride]

Teabag and leotards. A classic HDR and Mrs HDR video. Nice job you two.

[@HarleyDayRider]

Thanks!! Ride Safe

[@cohencox8243]

Ride safer and give us a better view by putting your left hand back on the handle bar. First time commenting but have been watching for years. Love your videos.

[@HarleyDayRider]

Thanks for watching. Ride Safe

[@stigma115]

super helpful my wife and I are going to rent a harley in a coupe of months, I would like to know how the size of the saddle bags to look for a bag that fits in the saddle bags

[@HarleyDayRider]

With Harley they sell inserts that we use all the time. Don't over fill them and they slide right into the saddle bags. Enjoy your trip. Ride Safe

[@jamesluster8473]

Great vid, where did you purchase the t bag on the top rack? Thanks!!!

[@HarleyDayRider]

I found that on Amazon and the company went out of business. I think Rick Rack has one just like it? Ride Safe

[@larry68hd11]

Thanks for the tips 😀

[@HarleyDayRider]

Welcome! Ride Safe

[@paulieb.6285]

Hello. Can you please point me in the right direction as to where I can purchase the T-Bags bag you have that mounts on the tour pack? Thank you

[@HarleyDayRider]

They are no longer in business. There was one like it on Amazon but I can’t find a link. Ride Safe

[@harley103-15]

Just wondering if you adjust tire pressure with the added weight or is that not necessary and you don’t tamper with that.

[@HarleyDayRider]

I do not adjust the tires pressure. I do have a constant monitoring system to keep tabs on the pressure. Here is a link if you would like to pick up a set of FOBO2 TPM. amzn.to/3hP1GdL. Ride Safe

[@mikebigeasyrider]

We always pack to much....also, good is having your wife along for navigation, seems like you got lost a few times...lol..... I can get lost in a fish bowl.....lol

[@HarleyDayRider]

I think I do this on purpose to get her more involved with the trip. Ride Safe

[@splodge57]

Toothbrush, did you remember your toothbrush? Jacking up the preload because your wife has put on a few pounds, recipe for an argument.🥰 Have a great vacation.

[@HarleyDayRider]

Yes don't ever tell your wife you are changing it for her. We all know it is for the added luggage. Ride Safe

[@rollinstone1969]

Correct the memories are the most important

[@HarleyDayRider]

Those are what you will remember for years. Ride Safe

[@brianrichards517]

I know you have mentioned this I'm sure a thousand time but what helmets do you guys wear

[@HarleyDayRider]

They are Bilt Route Journey. Very light weight and they have great vents on the top to allow air flow. www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/bilt-route-journey-helmet. Ride Safe

[@brianrichards517]

Ok thank you sir

[@wskeyson3382]

How comfortable is the abacus?

[@HarleyDayRider]

The beads are very comfortable. Our first day riding we went 160 miles before our first stop. We normally only get 100-125 before stopping. Well worth the money. Ride Safe

[@nelsongn9]

Good evening sir

[@HarleyDayRider]

Good evening. Ride Safe

[@chuckhanson35]

I always say, don’t pass up a chance to go to the bathroom, gas up or have sex. You never know when you will get the next opportunity!!🤣🤣

[@HarleyDayRider]

Sex what? Hummmm? Ride Safe
