My travel bag weighs like 8kg. It pays to pack light when doing the HCM to Hanoi trip. I about ruined my laptop though by keeping it in a Givi box on the Honda Winner 150cc and it shook the crap out of it until i noticed a little ways past Da Nang. Don't do that! 😅

Hi Jon, you need to insert a video link at 8.27 :P

[@Tigitmotorbikes]

Video in production. But yes, thanks!
Didn't realize you watched the channel.

Dude, the laundry service will steal your underwear. It’s no fun riding commando for a week.

[@Tigitmotorbikes]

That is why you have 3 pairs?
Now you have 2 backup.
In seriousness though, they don't steal. They just mix up laundry all the time, so someone else gets your stuff. I have actually never used hotel laundry services :)

John is there anyway to reach out to you via social media or email? I feel like I already know you but still have a couple of questions as I’m about to embark on my first solo travel to Thailand / Vietnam….would love to hear from you !
Cheers,
Shayne

Some people carry photography gear, you get easily past your "you don't need more than 15kg"

[@Tigitmotorbikes]

Disagree.
All content on Tigit site is recorded using 6 litre saddle bags on Enduro bikes. Sure if you have a photography setup not designed for adventure then it is a problem. But there are lightweight options out there.

Take about half what you think you'll need. I've got it right after so many years.

[@Tigitmotorbikes]

About 1/4 :)

[@user-sw2lv3zp6o]

@@Tigitmotorbikes Maybe. 1/2 was just a generic figure. I have been doing it so long now that everything I take, I use.
