HOW TO PREPARE FOR A ROUND THE WORLD TRIP ON A MOTORCYCLE - Part 2

How to prepare for a round the wold trip on a motorcycle? This is my second video in which I cover topics such as the gear on my bike, motorbike clothing, tools and spare parts, motorcycle's transport, shipment of tires and sponsorship.
In April 2017 I left Australia for a solo trip around the world on a BMW F800GS. I named it “Are We There Yet” because I don't know my final destination or the duration of this journey.

The clutch cable thing is such a good idea!! 👌👌👌

[@macexpert7247]

Awesome idea to have that spare clutch cable pre installed!!!

[@akonkoch9971]

Your channel is becoming more interesting , simply because you talk practical.

[@DunyaFollowUp]

Agree

[@LuckyNikitaBoba]

First time viewing her video. I'm 100% agree.

[@charlesjohn4518]

She's now famous.

[@billcotton1551]

The best thing you carry is your spirit of adventure. But the clutch cable is brilliant!

[@MohammedRABAH]

I love so much your adventures. Ten years a go I had a very bad crash. Till now I can't recuperate my mobility/motricity. And could not ride a heavy bike any more. I hope, before I pass away, to ride once more , even if it just a little trip around my country ( Morocco). Wish you the best for your adventures. Ride safe. You surely inspire many peoples to go on adventure. Thank you for sharing with us, what you live during your trips. Sorry for my bad English. ✌🤘

[@onherbike]

Stay strong and focused. Light bikes can be a good physiotherapy.

[@MohammedRABAH]

@@onherbike thank you so much. My best wishes for your coming adventures. May God the Powerful, protect you and makes your adventure's dreams realized. ✌✌✌

[@monicamariecelis]

This is my dream to drive around the world using a motorcycle go to different places but the reality of life strikes me money and family need to support maybe someday even in a simp lies way i can achieve my dream thank you for the videos you upload and the adventure and tips more power and keep safe ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻

[@davyboycolon530]

Doubling up the clutch cable is an amazing idea that's something i will do on my tiger 800

[@keyboarddancers7751]

Brilliant solution!

[@1yazsh4life]

really a nice idea !!!!!!

[@soundzrinmygarden3833]

You can put a chain joiner link on your cable as well so you have a spare link

[@leemski]

Agree, great tip!

[@posterestantejames]

Truly. Great idea!

[@131313blackcat]

Hi Kinga, good channel I enjoy your frankness and disposition I recommend you to my daughter as a strong female role model, Stay Safe from NZ

[@teresaswiger6993]

can't wait for next video. Have safe travels

[@IceColdDentist]

Love the clutch cable, neat idea

[@TechnMoto]

Great idea with the clutch cable and the fuel tank. Kinga thanks for sharing

[@Back2TheBike]

I'm a fellow KZbinr, recently subscribed. I've really enjoyed following yours and ItchyBoots travels, taking me places I'll never visit. I have a serious heart condition and came back to the bike a couple of years ago. I now ride a Monster 1200R. Keep up the great work Kinga andi hope to see you riding again soon once Corona has passed.

[@DunyaFollowUp]

Great to know about your story. I wish you best of luck. Same here i have PSVT and Psoriasis. I can understand you well.

[@ronabout]

Another subject you should cover is non-motorcycle clothing and laundry. I use to backpack a lot and that was one subject I find no one covers. My first time I over packed clothing and 3 months later realized I was carrying stuff I still hadn't worn. People should know how little you really need to carry.

[@swteng73]

The best compilation of relevant advice, tips and know hows ever! I enjoyed both part 1 and part 2 very much. Awesome tip of a spare clutch cable readily installed and also enjoyed your sharing of your tools and gear that you use. Awesome awesome awesome!

[@GortaDejan]

Drive save , Kinga. We are all following you. Thank you for your honesty. Dejan

[@jayblogsmoto9416]

Useful and straight forward advice that every adventure biker would do well to take note of - thanks for making the effort to put the 2 vids together.

[@rasflp]

Hi, Kinga. Thank you! Your videos really make this quarentine less boring. The adventure is fantastic and I'm sure that you've been inspiring lots of bike lovers. In this "how to prepare" episodes, please show your camping gear and how do you pack them. All the best!

[@1200airhead]

I would agree 100% Forma boots are the best boots

[@amgharani1980]

Useful information for any one who has in mind to travel with you , I’ve got them all ready to follow you right now Can’t wait to see when you hit the road ❤️from 🇮🇷

[@SidebandSamurai]

I just recently subscribed because your channel was offered after I watched an Itchy Boots episode. Think I will go back to the beginning and binge watch the whole series.

[@OgnianBorisov]

Hi Kinga, my admiration for what you are doing and I really admire you. I am from Bulgaria, and if your path ever brings you here, you can count on support. Greetings

[@aruvis6524]

Hey lady, thank you,You are super cool. Thanks for making such a informative video more than all you are so genuine,honest and your open to share all your information in social media in a simple and brilliant way.... you look very stylish .. especially those dancing moments and while throwing things around...hahaha...keep going smart lady...

[@joaofitas4371]

Very detailed advice. Thank you for sharing your experience. Greetings from Portugal.

[@Simon-sf6dc]

Your such a Legend Kinga for being so open and sharing! Thank you. I’m looking to ride from Perth back to Syd and you have given me so much valuable info, confidence and inspiration. This is not a dress rehearsal right!🍻

[@onherbike]

Thank you Simon. You'll be probably going though my favorite place in Oz - Lucky Bay, WA. Say hi to the roos from me. Safe travels🙌

[@Simon-sf6dc]

@@onherbike WOW! Lucky Bay, it looks amazing, I'll add it too the list. Thx for the great tip😉

[@martingranger188]

Great advice again Kinga , stay safe n ride free. 👍

[@VishalAmbedkar]

aap ek symbol of knowledge hai jiske anusharan ki jrurat hai your video very charming

[@katyamato1347]

As long as you are healthy, don’t worry about it. Enjoy it. Great philosophy 😘

[@johnnysechrist6313]

You should add the smallest pair of micro grip mini vise grips and a safety link for your chain. Rubber boots for front forks. I did a bit of traveling in the late 1970's, JB Weld epoxy and cable ends with set screw comes in handy too. Never clean sheilds with paper towels....they scratch them. Always replaced my headlight bulbs with off road higher wattage ones. They always state not for highway use, but never had anyone check them.

[@ironhorsegladiator5034]

Kinga, You are truly a "KING" within the women adventure bike traveler, just like to know where do you get the drive and energy to keep going as beside the exciting adventure, you hardly take any breaks since I have followed your adventures since you started it. These two parts informative and recent tips have been very helpful, but I don't trust the world as much as you do, so stay safe.

[@adamashton74]

When you have a breakdown on your bike, my mindset is this becomes part of my adventure. Remember, when travelling solo you will find great people and you can embrace the adventure with all things that come into your universe.

[@adamashton74]

How many kilometres do you get on your tyres generally speaking?

[@onherbike]

Hey, I run Bridgestone AX41 now which are soft compound tyres. The rear lasts me about 8000km, the front one double that.

[@frankpinion4937]

Well done Kinga! I run the C Bow- Hepco Becker system, which I've used on 3 bikes now. Obviously the brackets are unique. I love them for the same reason's as yourself plus you're not overloading the bike & less weight the hard panniers. Mine probably not big enough for your type of travelling though. There were quite a few upgrades to the BMW. I had not upgrades but accessories I needed to add to my Ducati Scrambler to bring it up to spec for any sort of comfortable touring. Previously I had a Himalayan which although a bit heavy for a 411 cc and not overly powerful, in terms of a complete set up which is very useable as is without spending a lot of money on it, they are brilliant. Highly highly underrated. Thanks for sharing your video-

[@williamtravis9283]

Good Job Bridgestone for sponsoring Kinga! Bridgestone tires really are a great tire in all weather conditions! I highly recommend the Bridgestone Battlax Hypersport S20 tire for a sportbike!

[@mohamoudhassan7167]

Amazing! Wishing you a safe ride around.

[@rytmonr1354]

Very good advices kinga , thank you again for this 2nd part , very nice idea for the double cable clutch !! All the best , stay safe !

[@cezarzabala855]

Great information Kinga.. You are awesome.. Lyndon has a lot of respect for you.. I can wait to see you on the road again.. Stay Healthy

[@ihsanyosuf1697]

really i get lot of information about your nice teaching INSHA ALLAH i will be soon start my journey.THANKS A LOT

[@badbadgerretiredinthailand]

love it, lots of information and followed you for sometime, your channel gives me some ideas for my own small channel, ride safe and wish you health and happiness

[@FREE_PUREBLOOD333]

Great, honest and informative video. Always like the addition of some outtakes on all your vids too. X

[@charlessykes6927]

Thanks for sharing, always enjoy all your video's and your experienced advice.

[@jimallen199]

loving the lock down content Glad to hear you are safe in Poland.

[@jeffhower8151]

I'd recommend adding a pair of ViseGrips to your tool kit. They have many uses. Clamp, wire cutter, shift lever, ... If you ever run over the wire left from a burnt tire it will wrap around the axle so tight it will stall the bike. Very difficult to remove. I also carry a metal cutting and wood cutting Sawzall blade and you can use the ViseGrips for a handle.

[@TravelerMalik]

Such a AMAZING rider

[@OMGMOTO]

That great advice someone gave you on the clutch cable. Great episode!

[@ericleger8158]

What is old is new again! We were doing the spare clutch cable piggybacking a long time ago in the 1950s & 60s.

[@stevennongrum.7525]

Having double clutch cable i think its very helpful.esp for long ride and the other thing is we need to gain knowledge in mechnical experience .

[@estudiohighpass]

Such a helpful video Kinga, thanks for your input, definitely will apply several of the tips you gave us... Looking forward to see your adventures again!

[@luksweam]

Huge respect, Kinga! I would probably never dare to go to many places you went. Stay safe and healthy. Happy Easter! @21:30 totally agree! An good off-road training on your bike ( the one you are riding ) gives you idea what you and your bike can really do. And what you can't ;). You will be amazed! This will give you knowledge and confidence. You will be less stressed => less tense => you will fall less often. :) Many major motorist associations offer trainings - check in your area.

[@carloshenriquecostadossant384]

From Portugal and North of Lisbon where I am living, I am a follower of 100% of their posts / videos I do not miss any. Here are my congratulations for the boldness, congratulations for the desire for adventure, congratulations for the explanations and teachings and for everything that transmits to us, a great determination and a great desire to live. I would like to ask you if you can answer me if it is in your plans to go through Mozambique, South Africa and go up to Angola. If you pass, I intend to tell you if you want some beautiful places that you will love in Angola where I lived 20 years of my youth and where I still have friends. Thank you very much for the opportunity that offers us to see such beautiful landscapes. May everything go as you wish, have a very good trip, with the calm of a traveler, enjoying the beautiful pleasures of life, take care, good luck.

[@davelewis2576]

Thanks for another great insight video Kinga, makes the long days in lock down more bearable, stay safe.

There were a couple of surprises, but this is basically how I would prepare a F800GS. I met a lot of people that couldn't place my origins on a map, but I had only recently discovered their location. A lot of people I met never left 'home'.

[@2wheelgirlcamper]

Love your channel and follow you since your travels in Australia. I only have to say that I had a very bad experience with Forma boots. Cheers from Perú.

[@santideneco]

Great tip "the clutch cable spare"!!!

[@johnmartlew5897]

At 9:38 Where did you find that gorgeous model? Ahem......At 11:03 those boots! Well worn veterans of the world! Did you know, the young Picasso briefly retuned home. While he rested from the trip, his mother cleaned his sandals for him. When he got up he was outraged over the loss of the dust and evidence of his journey. 😉 This is the best information series on tour prep I’ve seen. Informative, detailed, and fun to watch. Love your humour! Stay safe, happy, and helpful!

[@cap1985]

Good tip from the extra clutch! The only thing I would add would be a narrow tube to transfer gasoline from one motorcycle to another if necessary. (so you don't have to use the camelbak tube). Good videos and good trip

[@TimKirkmt]

Just sat and watched through a tonne of your videos. Really great content. Keep.it up. Love your story and why you decided to hit the road. Many yrs ago I got inspired and cycled from UK through europe to russia, a really great solo trip. Keep going have fun, and be safe...

[@dalehunt1383]

Best hair day I've seen in all your vids! 👍love the information. QUESTION: How about a video explaing your younger years becoming interested in motorcycling , how you decided to get into videography while traveling and possible future plans? Hope we all can get back to a new normal soon. Take care.

Preparing for my solo bike trip through Africa I decided to watch a couple of videos. After watching a couple on Amazon I found Kinga's on her bike. What an amazing discovery of an amazing woman-on her bike around the world. I watched two videos on amazon and the guys kept complaining and whining but I love the way Kinga connects with communities, stops to interact with nature and people. I'm stuck to the videos atm.

[@onherbike]

Have you ever read "One Man Caravan " about someone going around the world on his bike in the 1920's? It's a very good read. One of those books you can read over again.

[@johnmartlew5897]

tim johnson .....thanks for this. My favourite so far is “Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance”. In the 1920’s....omg...what the world was like then, you were really on your own ......check out the movie “The Sheltering Sky” ....Debora Winger, Jon Malkovich. filmed early 90’s......Ca 1930, two couples off the beaten track, Middle East, one woman ends up alone early on.....

You are quite interesting indeed and very fun to follow. I love the comment where you specify that even as influencer, you must remain straight, true and honest with the comments on gears or anything else. I feel you are such a women; A TRUE PERSON. it shows in all of your videos and this is what keeps me interested. one of the comment, by JUST IN, says he noticed the camel gas tank. I did too but mostly, I noticed your freshly colored hair at 17:35 which look more of cinder than ''blonde'''. Stay safe and keep entertaining us !

Another remarks who made the sucess of your movies, for a french, It's very easy to understand you when you speak in english (same for Lyndon Poskitt), less in polish...

[@gregearley4123]

Great video as is normal, have often wondered about the history of you and riding, some of the places you go amaze me. Your skill set is not a new rider so how about it in the next video! Enjoy following you for your skill, humor and the old jumps .

[@riendetout8812]

[@motazabdelazeem3533]

9:17 this is the most brilliant idea and trick that I have ever seen in my live :)

[@johnmartlew5897]

Motaz Abdel Azeem ....yes It is brilliant! It might even work with other cables like the front brake. Depends on bike models? The BMW clutch cable might be really hard to get at for repairs making this set up so smart.

[@patrickcooper9641]

It sure is. I have been practicing this since the 70's when you knew that your cables (especially clutch ones) would not last more than 5000 miles if that!

[@geoffnepo]

this is a really useful vlog, and glad you took the time to subtext the gears you've vetted out in the field that actually works. if you had to do it all over again would you have taken the time to vlog all your trips? I'm guessing it would be so much more enjoyable journey without the distraction of setting up and retrieving the camera, equipment, editing and etc...

[@shahrama7714]

But the fun part is to share your experience with others. Others give you energy and courage.

[@stylller100]

Come to brazil! You welcome in sorocaba/sp, Brazil

[@mrcharlesw]

Good video. Regarding shipping, ensure that you ask freight forwarders for a "Door to Door" as opposed to a "Port to Port" quotation. This will give you an accurate cost to work with. As you will need an address i.e. "door" at the destination, this could also be a freight forwarder at the destination country (as opposed to your home country) that could arrange the shipping for you - they should be happy to keep your cargo at their warehouse as long as it doesn't stay there long. Finally, get multiple quotations, as many as you can, you can often easilys save a few hundred. Good luck on your travels.
