- Before I reveal my new motorcycle for my South American journey, I've decided to show you everything I pack, by popular request. So here's a rundown of EVERYTHING I take, well, with the exception of two things that I'll never share...

It's very cool to see everything you pack. I didn't hear you say anything about carrying a spare tube, flats are always possible - even with tubeless rims. As a petite woman, can you fix the very rare flat on the road? Do you have Tire levers? Now we need a video on how you pack all of it and you strap it to the bike. 🏍️ As always, you look GORGEOUS! We miss you at the NY Powerteam events. ❤ Love you, Jim Lewin, L.I., NY., USA ❤ 🏍️
I usually get help! 😂😂 I know my strengths & weakness 😂 Yes they are in the tool kit. But to be honest, I have found those things to be very easy to come by. There are shops everywhere.
Haha that is the ultimate jigsaw! Haha thanks Jim!
Yes. I thought today's video was going to be the introduction of your new motorcycle.
You are seen very happy now. I am happy you are enjoying all this traveling now. Keep it up! We will continue to support your channel. Thank you for showing us your perspective of the world.
Thank you!!! So appreciate the encouragement! 💜💜
This is great for people considering a trip similar to yours, better than learning by mistakes! You’ve got a good healthy skin, hair and a nice tan, whatever you are eating, using and enjoying time in the sun, keep doing it! 😁👍🏽🏍♥️
Ah thanks so much!! The sun does wonders!
12v charge plug + usb charge cord. bic lighter. conversion plugs (to charge using local power/receptacle configuration), pertinent documents, maps, antibiotics/antidiarrhea/antiemetic/excedrin/sunscreen, scissors (small), bug spray?, balaclava (for cold weather), few extra fuses, metal mirror, headlamp, pillowcase (to make a pillow out of clothes or to carry dirty clothes), and a lightweight backpack (like "Sea to Summit" type), and finally lightweight bag to carry goodies from the store or bike to the hotel. Whew- you're going to have to pull a 6 foot trailor....!
Hahaha awesome list!
Wow, you carry more stuff on your bike than most heavy duty pickups I see tooling around! I went down the whole less is more road when I younger and have carried that philosophy into bike trips, but I'm also not doing anything comparable to what you are. Water is the biggest bulkiest part of my one backpack luggage. I take trip videos until the gopro batteries die and then it's just cellphone videos/pictures when the scenery awes me. If I was a motovlogger it would all be from 24 hour laundromats outside of the scenery! Subscribed and will binge some or your vids. Safe Travels!
hahaha 😂😂🤪 Oh yea less is DEFINITELY more. I do find it a little tricky because I live full time on the motorcycle, I don't have a home, the motorcycle is my home! ☺️☺️ and I'm no minimalist as much as I'd love to be! But little by little I am pairing down. Haha scenery & laundry mats! 😂😂
Thanks for sharing your staff. But I am a little shocked how much you are caring. That means of course that the bike gets really heavy. On the other side most of the things are really necessary and makes life easier and comfortable.
So heavy! Always too much! Always trying to figure out how to downsize and carry less but with camping, filming, and living long term on the bike it is tricky! Also, the dance between making due and buying new expensive items!
Frogg Toggs are AWESOME. They work so great, are budget friendly, and strong. I have one of the "paper" 'Tyvek'-type jackets and a wet weather set - and they've both been lifesavers! I carry the wet weather set on my bike at all times and oh man, have I been glad to have them!
Very helpful video. Thank you.
Ha! Love that you love them too! I had not heard of the brand before but I've liked them. Cool that others can attest to the brand! thanks for sharing!
This was such a glimpse into your travels. Thanks for showing us all your personal stuff :) I'm glad the video has done so well. I don't ride a Moto at all but I have been a full time traveller for almost three years -currently in Mexico. I do find it so interesting to see how other people manage their stuff on the road. Cheers!
Haha you’re welcome! That’s so awesome, Mexico is the best, also find it so interesting what people carry, it really is so unique to each person
I love Pacas and merino wool! Thanks for sharing :) it was fascinating!❤
It's the best!!!
👍Tammy...I had know idea you carried that much gear ....It's totally amazing, how you can fit it on your bike and still have room for YOU !...
.....and I complain about Not having enough room in my Caravan !
All I can say is You sure are a Keen rider !...Thanks for showing us your Personal luggage....Stay SAFE and LUCKY and UPRIGHT !
Love from Australia 🏍🦘🇦🇺🌹
Haha all fits! Doesn't seem like a lot to me. If I was on a trip that had an ending point, it would probably look lot different but I'm living out here on my two wheels! Thank you Syd!!
@@MindBodyMotoGirl I have a LOT of RESPECT for you and what you’ve chosen to do with your life ! Keep it up Tammy …..and Stay SAFE ! …..Love again from Australia 🏍🦘🇦🇺🌹
thanks for sharing! Your clothes take up such little space!!! At 6'2" my clothes are quite the space-hogs. I've got the same mushroom tire repair kit (but with a different compressor)... it's a PIA to get those mushrooms in... I also keep the older "rope" type plugs in case I can't get the others in. I certainly agree with you on the merino wool, and packing extra socks and underwear, as it's more important to be able to keep rotating thru clean pairs of those!
Haha that's one benefit I have!!! If only all my other stuff could be in petite form! Good to know about the plugs!
Thanks for your sincere comments around your overall gear. I bet that if you (I'm sure) you keep on around the world in motorbike... sooner or later you will be carrying just 1/4 of all your stuff. A big hug & keep on, are my best wishes.
Hahaha I bet!!
You have some items for tubeless tires (which your GS was). Noticed a lot of the bikes you were looking at had spoked wheels. While spoked wheels doesn't necessarily mean tubed tires, it often does and swapping the tubeless gear for tubes and tire irons in your kit could be a potential change you might have to make. Stay safe!
Very observant!!!
Excited to see what bike you chose!
Thanks guys! 💜💜
Great video, not sure where you put it all. I don’t camp and can’t imagine how long it takes to get going in the morning. The problem I have yet to solve is how to pack my dinner jacket (Tuxedo), for all the smart places I get invited to.
Haha good question! Packing up camp usually takes me between 30min-1hr (or even more if people are stopping to talk to me! 😂) We need a special smart dinner tuxedo pannier compartment please! 😂
This was really interesting. Thanks for sharing!
So glad you're welcome!
Thanks for sharing, been a girl you carry too much cloths and toiletries😂, I carry 1/4 in does two departaments, Camping I carry the same...Motorcycle wize I carry almost the same
Hahaha typical girl moves!!!! 😂😂😂
Thanks for sharing, I also carry some random things that only have value to me, but I carry probably less than half of what you do and all the time I'm trying to trim things down because every time I drop the bike I wish I had absolutely nothing :)
Haha I bet! There's never I time I wish I had less and I've never met a moto/bici traveler who doesn't say the same!! 😂
You have so many stuff.. I always keep only one bag on my bike and just one tank bag and yes just one small bag for my gopro and battery 😊and great video friend, have a nice day..
Thank you!! I do!! ☺️☺️ I am no minimalist 😝 but I also live on the motorcycle FULLTIME! 🤪
Mi querida y adorada Tammy!! Que alegria estar contigo nuevamente, estas preparada para cualquier situasion,eso es algo sumamente importante, besos y habrazos desde Berlin Alemania ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Muchas gracias Eddie! Siempre me gusta recibir tus palabras!
ha,this was great! Thank you for sharing. So interesting to see the choices you made & what you took. I have that exact same knot-tying card kit! My brother gave it to me! Can't wait to see the new bike.
Ha! That's so funny, what a random thing! It's very cute and inspiring to think I could learn all those knots! ☺️
I appreciate the clever way you have filled this hiatus in your journey between motorcycles, and it was in fact interesting to see what you have been carrying along all this time. Even though I remember, from previous videos, that large front compartment on your motorcycle, and the masses of things in the back, I find like other commenters that it's hard to imagine how you packed all the stuff in -- you sometimes must have to do a lot of digging to retrieve whatever you need at the moment. One thing I carry on my travels that I don't recall you showing us is a small Spanish dictionary, preferably with verb-conjugation tables (which I realize you won't need once you finally move beyond Latin America). I know you can access on-line dictionaries and phrase lists, but they won't be very useful if what you need to say is "I've lost my internet connection"!
Hahaha that's a cute thing to carry! I definitely do all things like that on my phone. Oddly enough, I never found I had to do a lot of digging, with a little organization, I always knew where everything was!
ThankYOU. This is helps a lot :)
Oh I'm so glad!
The older I get, the less I take with me. I challenge myself, to carry less and less. And I never have regretted it. It makes travelling so much easier. Of course there are sometimes situations, when it would have been great to carry an additional important item. But often, there's the possibility to improvise. I just don't want to carry items any more, that are needed only once per year.
Same with my motorcycle. It only weighs 118kg. It makes driving easy. Especially in rough terrain, it's a big burden to handle a heavy motorcycle.
That's awesome. It's really the best having less. I am still tweaking and learning. So true the heavy motorcycles are a lot to handle!
Hi Tammy..You look well..so cool to see what you take along the way..thats a lot of stuff there..but must be nice to have a lot of get you out trouble things..really handy..cant wait to see the grand reveal of your new machine to carry you on your cool adventures.🙌.Stay Safe as always and ciao bella..✌️
Always feels like way too much! And at the same time, I still feel so proud of myself for having one sweater 😂😂 Reveal comes next week!
Peppermint oil 👍 - also repels mosquitos, good on bug bites and makes you smell minty fresh if you miss a shower for a few days 😄.
Hahaha multipurpose!!!
I am excited to discover what you pack girl !😃
Haha always too much 😂
I just found your channel today and subscribed. Blessings from Germany
Aw thanks! 💜
Such a great video Tammy. It’s always so interesting to see what other riders carry. Wondered if you carried any form of stove or saucepans? I have a one ring burner and a really lightweight camping saucepan and kettle set that is wonderful on cold tent nights when you need a warm meal or drink. Also really agree with finding people on the road who can help mechanically. I have the lots of stories of riding through Africa and finding people who knew what to do at just the right moment. I broke down in the middle of nowhere in Tanzania when my electrics went haywire and 10 minutes later, a Tanzanian in a Hockey Canada Tuke was looking over my shoulder, told me he was a motorcycle mechanic, and fixed it on the spot.
Thanks Andy! Nope no stove or saucepan, I don't do much cooking. A warm tea would be nice in the tent but I haven't found myself really wanting it so much on my camping nights so I haven't included it.
Ha! I love that story! It's been my experience as well so I don't go crazy trying to carry so much moto repair stuff.
Thanks for sharing, one thing that I like having on my bike when traveling is the right socket sizes to remove the tires, they don't take a lot of space but they make things easier even if someone else changes the tire or if you have to remove the tire to take it somewhere to get it fix.
Cheers from Austin tx.
Oh sounds like a good tip! I will keep that in mind, thanks!
Wow! So fun to peek over your shoulder. I can’t believe you can get all that and you on the bike! ❤❤❤
Me too, it's wild! Glad you enjoyed!
Looks like you are ready for everything 👍
Haha yes!
Informative, thanks Tammy!
So glad!
Very interesting! Are you taking any extra stuff through Venezuela? My guess for the two extra-unusual-not-weird things: 1) coral nail polish and 2) high heels. 💅🏻👡
haha love those guesses! But nope to both, there are nail salons in every little town that I don't need to bring my own! No extra stuff for Venezuela specifically
Thanks for sharing, great video😊
I'm so glad, thanks!
A+
🙏🏼
I use a sleeping pad from Kilos Gear - it is air but has a built in foot pump, is super robust and is so comfy - warm on a cold day and cool on a warm one. It also packs really small when not inflated - may save you some space?
Oooo I like that! thanks for the Recc! I never liked the blow up ones but that one sounds nice with the foot pump. Will check it out. Could def save space. Although the one I have is so light that I don't mine the space that much.
Great video!!! (new subscriber)
One thing i use "other" than those horrible yoga mats, is thick carpet underlay...honestly amazingly comfortable compared to mats, and so light/ soft and pliable for transporting on bike. 👌😎
Wow that's so interesting! Ive never seen those. Do you have a brand you can recommend to check out?
@@MindBodyMotoGirl Any carpet place has underlay that goes under carpet when laid, i got mine for nothing from a local carpet place (offcut) that i trimmed to suit. Normally lasts for about a years use..... sooooo soft and spongy, as sleeping mat!!! (only thing is, best to be kept dry - plastic rubbish bag for me) 👍👌👍
Hola!, super tu video en Bogota!! Recorriste buenos lugares y viste hermosas motos. Votaria por la Himalayan, se acopla mas tu talla, pero espero tu proximo video para ver que escogiste. Feliz viaje!
Aw muchas gracias!!
Seems a shame to change the BM for something less substantial being as your living out there on the road. There are lowering kits available for that model, you could still swap the boxes for bags, it's certainly possible to to shed a good few lbs else where, food for thought if it's not to late. It's a good bike that's all.
I totally hear you, tough decision, I ultimately decided to make the change to have the experience of a smaller bike, I loved my bmw so much, who knows perhaps eventually I’ll go back! 😜
Thank you so much for sharing your personal packing items. I'm getting ready to spend 5 months on the road and I always over pack. I think you are extremely minimal on your clothing and personal items 🎉
Amazing! Excited for you! That's nice to hear, at least I'm minimal on something! 😂
Not to change subject but what bike did you choose ?? Nice informative vid on what you carry also !
You'll see next week!
Seems like a great way to live i,m buying a van to live in soon can't wait. If you dont mind me asking what do you do for money do you work odd jobs on the road like bar work ect or are you taking time off work.
Great video as usual cant wait for the next.
YESSSSS that's amazing!!!! nope no odd jobs, just follow my creativity, live of savings, and take opportunities as they come!
@@MindBodyMotoGirl Best way to live go with the flow and creating memories
If you haven't chosen yet i think you should go with a Honda they're reliable & their service network is quite strong either way have a safe journey much ❤
Awesome, love to hear the thoughts! Thanks!
Baking soda to clean your fruits and vegs? who are you babe, Jerry Seinfeld?
By the way. Love your work.
Hahahahaha I don't get the JS reference but it's making me laugh!! 😂😂😂
Thanks so much for the words!

when I would take a passenger with me, ( I'd say you have one saddle bag and half the top bag, for all your gear), so, I went to pick her up and she walks out with 2 large suitcases and a day bag. and I just stand there looking at her, Like What?.... A' NO !!!! another trip I picked her up in a 40' couch bus, and on our way out of state, she looking through a hotel stay magazine. I ask her, what you looking at? she say's for a place to stop for the night.... ( I'm like deer in the head lights, with a touch of sherk look) looking back at the living room, kitchen & master bedroom, Thinking, why did I rent this Bus for 10 days?.
Hahaha classic!!!! Such a funny story. It's so hard for us women!! 😂😂😂
Question: Is that tubeless sealant toxic? Because I would probably drink it thinking it was juice or a multi-vitamin drink. I had to google What is a stuff bag? Brilliant! Your two secret items have really piqued my interest. Hmm... a hemorrhoid pillow for your bike seat? Again, brilliant! Thank you for sharing! :)
lol 😂😂 they really do look like those little smoothie packets! 😂 Haha you have my lol-ing at your guess!
That is allot of stuff! How do you pack it all? No 9mm?
hahaha you'll see, it fits! 😂
Could you make a video on how to store all this stuff in a motorcycle?
That's a good idea! I'll talk about it a little in my next video but let me know if you want more specifics...
I´m not sure if you choose your bike already, maybe you look for the most powerfull and with better torque. best regards from Bogotá.
Awesome thanks for the thoughts!
Why you don't carry and small machete it's cheap and a handy tool for many purposes.
Ha! That is not a bad idea! And for Coconuts!!!
I thought you had way too much stuff, but not compared to a mc in India carrying the family, a couple of chickens, a goat and a tablesaw. 😃
hahahahaha so true! But I do have too much! Help! 😂😂😂
Hey! Now I know, a lot of guys are going to ask you to have a "date"with them.😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Hi. You said you have 9 GoPro batteries? Why so many? I mean, I carry 5, but in two hours I can charge another 2 in the same time.
You never charge them while riding?
If you have more GoPro cameras, I got you…
Haha yes! A friend who is a big moto RUclipsr suggested me the 9 so I went with 9 but I find i run out of them so quick and it gets complicated to organize the charging on the bike etc, I do a lot of filming off the bike. And yes I have two GoPros :)
super concerned that bmw was best of bread to haul a functional load as such
riding a honda Africe Twin now but looking to get gs next since it has a fatter fronttire
Yea definitely better for the load!!!
Have you already decided on a motorcycle yet?
Yes!
I'm at 1:40 and I'm wondering what the fuck bike are you riding to carry all these huge ass items!? My whole camping kit fits into about 35-liters of space.
Lol, aside from the mat and tent poles because of their shape, all my camping gear fits into my 25L bag with room to spare :)
I think you need a little trailer lol.
Me too! I’ll do one soon
Pepper spray
Haha little share - I carried one with me on trips to Canada bc my brother gave it to me and the Canadian border confiscated it 😂🤣
@@MindBodyMotoGirl you should get one in every single country, it’s not to expensive
Seguro que vas en moto? Parece que fueras a ir en un camión por todo lo que llevas....😂😂😂😂
😂😂
Hello bby how r u ?
..About eight or ten t-shirts, cosmetics, oil for body, for hair, for ..oh-my-god…
Lol! May be the difference between a motorcycle "trip" and living off the motorcycle :)
@@MindBodyMotoGirl Maybe, we girls just different, cause I don’t use so much stuff in my life out of the bike) in trip i use one t-shirt, two pairs socs, one wool shirt and one pants(they are and shorts too With detachable trousers) that’s all)) and one liquid soap for all-body, hair and And for washing things..That's why my luggage is not heavy..
Way too much stuff........ I'd toss about 3/4 of it, for sure at least half. You may be facing doing just that when it comes time to pack the new bike.
Like Bronson said with his lone bedroll strapped to the bars of his sportster .. I think I got too much stuff. 😆
TOO much stuff! What would you throw out? Would love to know!
😂😂😂 I say this to myself all the time
@@MindBodyMotoGirl well, part of the Stop&Go kit, all the bikes you looked at have tubes. Stop &Go is for tubeless tires. I'd try to avoid duplication of items. The old sleeping bag and mattress could go, get newer ones that pack smaller and lighter. I carry a yoga mat too, but it's thin, and when I'm packed, it rides on top of my pannier with my mattress. Like you I carry a tent, sleeping bag, mattress, plus, a small Jet Boil, spork, and plastic cutting board. As far as clothes go, you could cut back some. I have a weeks worth of t-shirts, socks, underwear, plus a day, I do laundry every week. I have swim trunks, four pairs of shorts, one pair of sweat pants, and a hoodie. I also have some tools, maintenance stuff, and resistance bands. Electronics are just a MacBook, camera, power bank, two drives, and two phones. Not much, but I'm not a RUclipsr. Last year when I bought my Himalayan in Iowa I had to toss a bunch of stuff, it will be interesting to see what you will be letting go of when you are packing. Oh, ya, I carry green tea too.... 😁
