05/12/2020 Are you worrying about what you should pack for your upcoming motorcycle road trip? Well, you are in the right place. Let us help you with the most practical tips that will help you reduce clutter and focus on enjoying the trip rather than worrying about your luggage all the time!
Prioritize your needs
You obviously do not need everything that you use at home during a road trip. The first and most important key to reducing luggage clutter is to prioritize your needs during the trip and then pack accordingly. Understand that the purpose of going on a road trip is to explore and enjoy the destination rather than being uncompromising with day-to-day comforts. For example, if you do not need to carry the laptop with you, leave it back home. If the plan is to be on the road for a few days, you do not obviously need a lot of clothing as well. Find out more about the weather at the destination and prioritize what clothing you should carry in the motorcycle luggage boxes.
Invest in motorcycle luggage bags
Dumping a big pile of luggage on the pillion seat of a motorcycle is not a good idea, and in many countries, it is considered a violation of road safety law as well. While it might be very cost-effective to bundle all your luggage and tie it down with bungee cords, it completely leaves your luggage exposed to the elements, and if the weather suddenly becomes inclement, everything will become damp and soggy. There is a better way: motorcycle luggage boxes! You can either buy them in pairs or one box at a time, depending on your luggage needs. Motorcycle luggage boxes are attached to the side of the motorcycle, but if you need to carry large objects, consider investing in a motorcycle top box as well. These are perfect for carrying large objects such as motorcycle riding boots and camera equipment.
Improvise with multi-purpose items
A good way to reduce clutter is to carry multipurpose items that can solve different problems without taking up a lot of space. While packing your bags, look for objects that can come in handy in different situations rather than packing specialized items. A good example is having long underwear that you can wear under the motorcycle riding gear during the day, and sleep in it at night. If you are riding in the winter, instead of packing two different gloves for riding and normal usage, consider investing in good quality motorcycle riding gloves that you can use for riding as well as for general usage.
Buy non-essential items on the road
Leave nonessential items at home. You can always buy those in shops at the destination. A few examples that come to mind are disposable batteries, paper napkins or paper plates for having food. Unless you are particular about having healthy snacks, buy things to eat and drink on the road which will save you a lot of space. If you are planning to camp during the trip, you can depend on local stores and malls for food items, as well as fuel to cook the food. While disposing such items be responsible and protect the environment.
Keep large objects and dirty cloths separately
Staying organized with your luggage is very important when you have limited space to manage everything. Keep the dirty cloths separately in the motorcycle luggage box by creating a compartment either by using a cardboard separator, or by collecting them in a bag and putting it aside inside the luggage box. Large items should also be separated from normal items because they take up a lot of space. Things such as riding boots, camera equipment, lunch boxes and medicine boxes can be kept separately in a top box which you can install at the rear of the motorcycle.
