Camping on a motorcycle
Camping on a motorcycle, can be a real challenge, because you can not have a lot of weight or volume to contribute, and there are few places to store equipment on a motorcycle.
Most riders use bags or panniers on the back of their cars to keep the camping gear. It must be hard and resistant to water – a bit 'like their owners – camping equipment safe from the elements. And if you do not want anything to come loose and fly or not. This could cause an accidentand will be responsible for damage – or worse.
With a truck or a car, you can create your own camping gear inside. But with a motorcycle, must somehow be prepared for the outside of your machine. Some fancy fairings (wind breaks) are small pockets, but she loves the camp are not.
It is usually possible to mount a large cube-shaped bag on the luggage rack or back seat passenger, and maybe a tank bag for motorcycle fuel tank, and you're done.
A few bicyclesMaybe a couple of large bags on their backs, saddle bags and leather that you see on some Harleys, or elegant briefcase fat "guys who are seen on a German BMW Motorcycle Touring. (I have always wanted one of them.)
All your camping gear had to fit the limited space, so camping in motion gives you the same kind of storage constraints, such as backpackers, unless you can run much faster on foot.
Depending on whether you want only two bicycle or on horseback,want a small tent, sleeping bag (or bags), sleeping pad (s) between you and the earth, a small camp stove, cooking kit, plastic cups, bowls, spoons and knives and forks, maybe.
Have tea or coffee supplies, including milk powder in an airtight container or sweetened condensed milk. (Loss or theft Something simple for my experience.) As for me, I like to sleep in a hammock Hennessey, who is perfect in warmer weather and to keep mosquitoes away from you so thatsleep well at night.
Only enough food (and water), helps to make some quick meal when you're tired, cold and hunger, and miles of a meal or a McDonald's.
So a change of clothes and extra socks and underwear. Toilet kit – toothbrush, toothpaste or powder, half a bar of soap (or a small cake of soap from a hotel), a small towel, comb, a pair of patches, some aspirin or Tylenol for pain, and more stuff hygiene woman or prescription medicinenecessary.
The country, or if the intergovernmental highways, main gas stations, which take into account truck drivers and hot showers. What can really refresh you were camping away from the comforts of home in a few days. Buy a meal or even pay for the shower.
For the relief camp wearing a small flashlight and / or a candle. Some will light a mechanical problem, "as one long line, and the operation of 12 volt battery of the bike. If you enter aground with the power grid, by all means wear a network-powered 'light of the problems. "
These are the things that a mechanical use when crawling under the car to check the garage.
The car must have its own little toolbox, but it would be appropriate to create a free tube and a pump. In case you get a flat tire 50 miles from heaven. Here, where membership in a club car might be a good idea, as the realization of a mobile (GSM) will be cheapsecurity.
The only other thing you need when camping on a motorcycle is a sense of humor and a sense of great help. It should also show respect for other road users. Why? Because almost everything out there is bigger than you! Ride your bike safely and with care and stay in one!
