Nice presentation Florian. T-handle plug tools are the way to go... no bruised palms! We have found that for Adventure and travel, the Hurricane luggage that keep your gear DRY without the need for rain covers is key too. Allows us to just keep riding! Thanks for all you do, we are looking forward to the Trail 125 expedition, that will be epic!
As a newer model Goldwing rider, one would think I could bring the kitchen sink if I wanted to, and for the most part I used to overpack alot. But anymore I actually keep it as simple as possible.
What I pack for trips staying at motels:
-basic tool pouch to keep the bolt on accessories tight, kickstand pads, and full or 1/2 size bike cover depending on locale traveling thru
-small battery jump box, air compressor, & tire plug kit
-rain gear, neck gator, cool & warm gloves
-sunscreen for my face and wrists since sun can get into open areas around helmet and gloves
-small bug cleaner spray bottle & cloth for windscreen & lighting
-zip lock bag for needed paperwork, including how to bypass & start bike if key fob system has an issue
-packed when off the bike clothing: 2 t-shirts, 1 pants, 1 shorts, 2 pr. underwear, 1 pair socks, sandals/shoes depending on locale's weather, light jacket
-zip lock bag of needed wires & chargers, ear buds, & wireless Android Auto adapter
-and of course my smart phone, helmet w/ speaker & intercom, cooling/warming under liner clothing underneath padded mesh riding gear, and stay dry socks & boots which I'm wearing all the time.
+1. Great video. Thanks.
Very well done. I now have a Trail 125. More information regarding the accessories you have on the 125 would be nice. Windshield info too if you add one. I'm a RoadRUNNER subscriber. It's such a beautiful magazine.
This was a really interesting, well done video. Never seen this particular take on packing before. I have two comments. I always pack my lesser used items in the left-hand saddle bag. The reason being I have clamshell bags and the left-hand bag is downhill things tend to fall out, I reserve the right hand bag uphill for the items I access frequently because they stay in place better. Also, I divide my tools into two smaller bags, one for tires and one for General tools these I split into the bottom of the right and left bags for weight distribution .
An absolutely fabulous video, Florian! Nicely done.
I'd love to see a video about seven days WITH camping gear (probably on the Yammie). I'm on a BMW R1250RS with a tank bag, Givi 42L topcase, and BMW side cases.
Super good tips! I love all the realistic comments as to convenience vs. extra straps, etc! My 2 cents : Synthetics fabrics are nice, but I recommend merino wool as well. There are lots of light weight tshirts, under wear etc., and it’s all comfortable and dries quickly and not stinky. It washes out nice with Castile soap - e.g. Ivory and Dr. Bronner. You can then choose between stretching your packing to 10 days, even without a wash. I think synthetic socks are a bit nicer than pure wool Socks.
I'm about 80% with you. The main difference is that I have an Oretlieb dry bag that rides on my pillion with what I need for an overnight and transfer a change of clothes from a pannier to the dry bag to carry in.
Main bikes are "Adventure Tourers" with alu side and top cases and a tankbag. Sidecases are packed one for the bike (tools, repair bits, rain gear/heated liners, etc.) and one for me (clothing, laundry bag). Topcase gets camera gear and enough room to swallow the tankbag and GPS units.
This works for me whether I'm doing a Fly-n-Ride or doing it from home.
I ride across USA 6,000 miles each year for 30 days. That’s a little light for my needs, but similar in process. I still carry oil, stp booster for low quality gas, oxygen can for high altitudes, and coffee and non-fridge creamer. Sometime you just can’t get coffee.
Coffee is a great addition to the list!
Excellent video…!!!!
Lots of useful information….
I really like the packing cubes.
Where do they come from…???

I pack pretty much the same, but without the tank bag as I have a 46 litre top-box. I didn't see you pack any shoes for off the bike walking, maybe you just wear motorcycle boots in the evening too?
Depends on the trip. Usually it's flip flops but sometimes I bring regular sneakers if I plan on walking more. Note: It's the item I most often forget to pack. That means very often I wear my motorcycle boots in the evening too.
After over 1 million miles of riding, packing is simple, pack for 4 days. You only use half of what you take, and there is always a Walmart within reach. Don't overpack, too many things you can get locally if needed, if you cannot fit y our trip into the bags or a tank bag, take the car. Of course my ride experience is limited.........lol
Yep, this is what I do, 2 to 4 days of clothes to wear, depending on where I'm going, how often and how long they're worn each time, as some clothing they may never see cleaning while on the trip. Simple truly is best.👌 BTW I got 11K miles riding just in the last 6 months packing this light and this has worked out quite well.😁
We just recently did Route 66, and we did the same. Packed for 3 days this time. Worked well, but washing clothes in the sink every night was a chore. :)
@@roadrunnermag we do laundry ever 4 days, arrange motels with laundry facilities, but have used the sink too.
@@gwrider2146 yep you get it! Just because you have the room you don't have to fill it! our longest trip was 37 days, 31 states and 1,000 miles-, think small ride longer
