Luggage
The amount of luggage you will want to to take will
depend greatly on where you are going, where you are staying and for how long.
Luggage choice will vary bike to bike, but in general
tank bags, panniers (hard or soft), Cargo nets, Bungee Straps and a Rucksack
wont go a miss. Luggage will be available at most good bike shops and you will
get some great advice from a well informed sales person.
At bare minimum we recommend a small rucksack for the
things you'll need to keep to hand. And Panniers. If you need extra room, then
we would suggest a tank bag, and luggage rack.
Remember the more weight you pack on your motorcycle
will affect handling and performance. If you have a luggage rack loaded up, your
front end will be lighter. So take the first few miles incredibly steady until
you have adjusted to riding with a fully loaded bike.
