Love exploring the world on a motorcycle? Maps and luggage are essentials that you always need to have with you when you are on the road exploring long distances. In addition to that, there are also many other things that you cannot miss out on. Here is a comprehensive checklist for your next two-wheeler cruise.

  1. Hotels Vs. Camping: If exploring is in your blood and you love doing it frequently then you can save a lot of money by not staying in hotels. But camping also means that you will need additional supplies to set up your camp and then there is the matter of getting permission from the landowner. If you are up to the challenge well and good, if not it’s better to stay in a hotel and save yourself the hassles. In both cases plan what you need and take only the minimal amount of clothes and accessories with you.
  2. What To Pack?: A key factor that you will need to consider while deciding what you must pack is the weather condition. If it is winter and you are traveling to a cold location then you will need more protective gear compared to if you were heading towards the desert.
  3. Luggage bags Vs. Backpacks: In either case, you are going to need a solid and reliable bike luggage case that comes in two different configurations, one that can be hung on the size of the motorcycle and the other type that can be placed at the rear end of the motorcycle. It is also known as the top box and you can find both at any bike accessories shop near you.

Now with that out of the way, let’s find out what other things you need to ensure before setting out on your expedition.
