How to pack for a motorcycle trip, Part One

The title says it all. This extremely boring, but somewhat informative video, details what I consider essential items for long distance motorcycle travel. This is part one of four.

Airhawk and Helibars were the two best comfort investments for touring but not overly obtrusive when i want to take the gear of and use it for spirited or track riding.

I also find stopping about every 200km for refuel is just enough to stretch and stop cramping.

Just finished watching all three of these videos, some great advice.

@blocka000 I agree with you on the frequent stops, I've never had bum issues, but I hear the airhawks are great... I've been looking diligently for a set of helis for my ZX-12R. I appreciate the feedback

I've toured on my Blade and with a few mods and the right bags then it can be fun and comfortable for touring.

@blocka000 You Sir, are a brave man..I applaud your endeavors..that would most likely kill me

If someone wants your bike badly enough, they are going to take it. The idea is to make your bike as less appealing as possibly. This includes, but is not limited to, redundant locking mechanisms.

why would you need a bicycle lock if your streetbike will lock by the ignitation?

why would u need a bike lock if your bike locks with the key?

Hello. I haven't bought a bike yet but I have a question regarding traveling. Is it safe having a gps device attached somewhere on your instrument gauge? I listen to my iPod quite al lot and I even have earphones plugged while driving. Is it safe to listen to music while riding a motorcycle? Sorry for my noob questions but I would like to know what your thoughts are.
