I was browsing this subs top all time posts yesterday and was inspired by the girl who traveled 2 years on a scooter so I thought I’d do something similar : overlanding

I posted originally to r/advrider but since I was inspired by a post I saw here I figured it belonged here as well!

Oh, and since this isn’t a bike specific sub I won’t assume knowledge of what it is. This is a 2017 Honda Africa Twin CRF1000L (manual not DCT)

My Loadout for full time/indefinite travel (Currently in Colombia)

────────

One – Cortech Tank bag – 18L (I think, don’t remember exact model) – For quick grab n go items

Headlamp and spare AAA batteries

• Whatever random shit is in my pockets when I get on the bike (can’t stand having things in my pockets while riding)

• Sunglasses, gloves, and headphones when not wearing them

────────

Two. Right side pannier – Mosko Moto Backcountry 25L – Clothing mostly

• 10x socks + underwear

• Specialty tools: Chain breaker/press tool, oil filter wrench, hatchet (doubles as a hammer)

• spare oil and filter

• spare front tube (can be used on rear in a pinch to get me to a city)
