===============================================
Packing for a long weekend motorcycle ride can be tricky. You don't want to pack too light and be missing important items, but you also don't want to overdo it by bogging yourself down with too many non essentials
The easiest and most convenient way to get started is to get your motorcycle equipped with some decent saddlebags and even a tail bag.
Clothes take up a lot of room, so be selective. On a typical three day trip, you can get away with one or two changes of clothing.
- Tail bags or saddlebags for storage
- Tire gauge and tire repair kit
- Flashlight and small multi-tool kit
- Small First Aid Kit
- Helmet, riding boots and extra rain gear
- Damp hand cloth in a sealed zip-lock bag
- Comfortable walking shoes
- Chargers for your devices
- Water and power snacks
- Travel-sized personal hygiene items
- Sunscreen and chapstick
- Insulating layers
Let us know in the comments section what items you pack on a motorcycle trip. If you found this video helpful at all hit that LIKE button for us!

    I love my fjr.I love riding my fjr, however I'm not able to where I live in South Between the soft ground and crooked politicians we have to have the worst roads in America! I've ridden on better roads in 3rd world countries.literally.I don't even take it out anymore unless it's to creep to a freeway and get out of the state and depending on which freeway it might get destroyed before you make it out of state.the roads around are brutal on street bikes!three words,pot holes,buckles.nothing enjoyable about hitting a 4x4 post laying across the road every 100 feet or so which is what the buckled up roads are like or having your front wheel fall off in a 5 gallon bucket out of the clear blue at 60 mph which iswhat the pot holes are like.ALL roads around here have one or the other,some have both.ive been through 3 front wheels on my klr in two years because they were bent beyond repair.the t7 so far has been the only bike to withstand the abuse so far.when I take the fjr out I spend more time screaming and cursing when my teeth get jarred out of my head every two minutes than it's worth.Iwould highly advise anyone riding anything besides a durable dual sport or something to go around Louisiana all together if you care about your bike and are trying to enjoy the ride.they dont deserve one red cent from motorcycle tourism if they cant do any better than this!!

    Hwy 145 from Cortez to Telluride then Hwy 62 to Ridgeway. From there you're back to 550 (the million $ hwy) I burnt up a set of rear brake pads and wore out a rear tire on that route.

    Everyone knows Hwy 29 "The Dragon's Tail, but as a local, I know getting there is just as fun. From the intersection of Hwy 28 and Hwy 11 in West Union, SC up to the Dragons Tail (along Hwy 28) is motorcycle gold the whole way. And if you want a different route back, take a tour through Tellico Plains, The Cherohala Skyway through Robbinsville down to Wayah Rd and on down 76 to War Woman Road back onto 28 south to West Union. Back in the early 2000's me and a group of Honda Magna owners would do this twice a year all in a single day. The area has grown up a bit since then, so now it might take 2 days to accomplish, but certainly well worth the ride. Us locals call this loop the Dragon's Breath since it incorporates the Dragon's Tail as well as all the area twisties. Also nearby is the Blue Ridge Parkway and there are so many routes to create in this are where SC, NC, TN, & GA meet

      My apologies, it's not hwy 76 south from Franklin after Wayah road, it's hwy 23 south to Clayton, GA where you pick up War Woman Road back to hwy 28. Some of us who were tired by this point in the day ride would take the easier (yet still fun) hwy 76 from Clayton back towards West Union.

    Honestly, I did 15 hours, overnight, only stopping for gas on a 1200XL sportster. From Mississippi to New York, left at 9PM, arrived at 12PM(noon) next day. The key for me was multiple seating positions, wearing compression base layer/dressing in layers, earplugs in full face helmet to help wind noise/fatigue, staying hydrated with cup holders.

    The best way to enjoy our roads out here is, slow down and enjoy your ride. Ride to enjoy the ride, it is not a racetrack.I been riding bikes on these roads in North Carolina since I was a kid on a bicycle. Then hauling shine on the back roads. Lot a people come here and see how dangerous they really are. Some don't make it.

      Even better if you can carry it under your removable insoles of your boots. In some countries I visited (not on a bike) we carried $100, CC, mini/micro SD card with scans of the passport, drivers license and contact information on a .pdf. If you get robbed...you can recover infinitely faster.

    @michaelkrenzer3296 22 дні тому

    My two biggest learnings from longer and shorter trips: Under pack your available bags by about 20%. When you are trying to repack in a hurry (and doing it for the first few times enroute) things rarely fit back in the way they did when packing it at home. Keep all the things you need for the day while riding in tankbag for small hydration backpack. I do both but I absolutely will not wear the backpack while riding...but the second I want to go for short hike, off bike tour, etc. it is one thing to grab. This has my sunscreen, bug spray, sunglasses, wipes, a snack, small backup battery and phone cord and, of course, water. Bonus item...cheap combination cable lock big enough to loop through your gear and helmet. If you want to take that 3 mile hike up to the Gilas Cliff Dwellings and it 80f...you are likely shedding the gear but not afraid of rain. Slip the cable through the sleeve, pant leg and visor hole then latch it to you bike. Won't deter anyone but the opportunity thieves but how many hardcore thieves are trolling remote National Park parking lots for used motorcycle gear?

      I use the steel wire mesh Pacsafe in addition to the cable lock, I use the cable lock for my wife and I's helmets, put jackets, pants, and boots into the Pacsafe, cinch it tight and lock it to the bike. Like you said, it won't deter serious thieves but I've been using it for 18 years and haven't lost anything yet.
