Yamaha How to avoid luggage problems on your motorcycle routes: this isn't a joke
If you like riding a motorcycle, you're probably also drawn to traveling. Do you already know how to organize your luggage?
Summer, vacations, and your motorcycle. Everything seems idyllic, and it truly is, although it's never a bad idea to be cautious when thinking about every detail.
One of those details, if your destination is far away and it's going to take you a few days, is your luggage. What are you planning to take for those days?
In reality, logic tells us that, since we're riding a motorcycle, you should carry as few things as possible with you.
That's fine, but what if you end up missing something? My friend, welcome to the unique world of motorcycle uncertainty: doubts before the journey.
The easy part: set up a full set of cases
Of course, if you have a full set of cases, everything will look rosy... although their capacity isn't infinite and you'll need to follow a series of steps.
The first step will be to choose carefully what to take with you, but don't overdo it. Remember to always keep what you need most urgently during the trip within easy reach.
In this regard, you should distribute well what you take with you not only to have things handy, but also to balance the weight.
A recommendation: wallet, phone, and keys are always better kept in the safest and most protected pockets of your jacket and pants.
The most complicated part: without cases "and going wild"
If your budget doesn't allow you to set up a set of cases, or you simply like your motorcycle without these accessories, let's solve it...
First, whether you have cases or not, a tank bag with magnets, or a mounting base at the tank opening or tank cover, is vital.
Then, take the middle road and be as practical and functional as possible: an elastic net lets you carry any backpack on the rear seat.
Wherever you carry it, a backpack solves carrying lightweight items; in case of "maximum load," the net solves it for you.
Be careful with the saddlebag option, because they don't always "fit" well with every type of motorcycle: scratches and discomfort can catch you off guard.
Don't rule out using a waist bag or leg bag for small items either, although it's always preferable to use the pockets of your jacket and pants.
Don't forget to take basic tools, and keep them handy, in case a battery terminal loosens or a mirror starts to wobble... Enjoy the ride!
