Selection of Motorcycle luggage is Key to a successful and enjoyable journey

By Harry Alan


A long tour we've packed for was fourteen days. A variety of weeks was travel time the opposite was spent at our destination. Throughout this trip we used expandable luggage by "T-Bags". Many thoroughly I have found being of quality workmanship and materials. The model I favor most could be the "Sturgis Bag". The "Sturgis Bag" has 4 external storage pockets along with a several map pockets that face the spine within the motorcycle.

The outer pockets are useful for the people belongings you should get to in the daytime: camera, sun block, maps, cell phone and snacks. It's internal capacity of 2.5 cu. Ft. utilizing the roll-top provides more than enough, considering the saddle bags for overflow that anyone can appear like we're ready around anything I think that earth can throw at us.

The "Sturgis Bag" is, with regards to I could truthfully find, the greatest bag available. T-Bag as well as other companies generate a big selection decides from so I know you can find that you fit virtually just about any travel that you could come to be planning. My recommendation for virtually every trip regarding green weekend get-a-way add the "Sturgis Bag"

Some caution can be employed when loading and securing the "Sturgis Bag" or any rack mounted luggage system on your own motorcycle. The excess weight hanging outside the back using the bike can mess up the geometry while using bike (the account balance) so that you can need to ensure the packs are secured tightly along with the weight is balanced (saddle bags & T-Bag).

Usually do not exceed the designers recommended load capacity. When fastening the luggage to my motorcycle, I prefer the strapping system that coded in to every single T-bag after which secure it with bungee cords plus a cargo net. I enjoy the cargo net to help keep our jackets or vest each day whenever we don't require them and will strap secure them towards front with the luggage. This creates additional space in the saddlebags for other considerations which often can add too much bulk or weight inside tailgate end together with the motorcycle. Proper planning, packing along with the right selection in luggage will greatly enhance your next trip.
