    Just got back from Sturgis yesterday. 1400+ miles on the Low rider S. Definitely feeling it in the hips today

    I've been traveling all over Europe for over 20 years both on hyper supersport bikes, Harleys, BMW K 1200RS touring and 2018 Honda Goldwing as well as in my Ford Mustang, my old Aston Martin and my old Jaguar. I also worked as a long distance truck driver and drove all over Europe for over 20 years and i agree with you. Pack light and bring extra socks, underwear and also extra gloves and a per of waterproof gloves.

    An underrated long distance accessory is a cup holder. You’ll always have one once you get one.

      Or you could switch to a Camelback water device. It's even easier to use, and it actually holds more fluid. Trust me, if you try it, you'll toss the cup holder!!!

      I recently switched to a Camelback drink bladder from using a handlebar cup holder. They hold more fluid, hold more ice, and are easier to use. Try it, and you'll like it!!! I also refrain from drinking coffee on long travel days. I drink a 5 Hour Energy drink instead. They equa the caffeine of 2 cups of coffee , in a 2 ounce drink!

      @@Marvelkid87 Since you like customization, you might want to check out Top Hand Ventures out of Texas. Apparently, they will build what you design. Ultimately, this may be the way I will need to go if I can’t find a good “off the shelve” option.

    I just returned from riding to the tail of the dragon from just north of Boston round trip was 2200 miles round trip not counting the 300 miles we road while in the Smokey mountains some of the best riding around.
    We had five riders four on baggers one guy had a 94 soft tail and trailered his scoot. Tossed all our gear into the trailer made life easy. Have done a few multi state trips on my SG I pack as light as possible but always try to keep it simple. Ride safe brother good point on packing light you’re on point

    Would you say the alcantara is gonna hold up ok? I’m def doing Lepara and really want that fabric but they don’t recommend that fabric for getting wet. So buttery though! I hardly ride in the rain. Would only be if I do a trip once or twice a year. You say go for it?

      @Arizona_rider Месяц назад +2

      I still have my 2021 883… I still ride it because I get tired of riding the bigger bike. I actually stop at red lights laughing because it’s so freaking fun to ride. Too many people get burned out riding the same bike and not getting the same thrill. The 883 is not nimble and not as powerful and that’s what makes it fun to ride. I can’t get rid of it

    We carry a small 1st aid kit and tyre puncher repair kit and a small basic tool kit - should include Philips/flat head screwdrivers and a set of torx wrench (and Alen wrenches if you fitted non-HD accessories). I also carry a small microfiber cloth in a plastic zip-lock bag which I use with water to clean the bugs off the windscreen and faring at fuel stops.

    I put my clothes in zip lock bags and then into a bag I strap on my back seat. Keeps everything organized at each stop and you can push the air out and it packs up really nicely.

    Got to make sure you go over your bike before the trip at least like 2 weeks in advance so if there's any issues you can solve them before the time comes to leave or you know you don't get stuck on the road
