Re: Touring tips

Dirty clothing takes up more room than clean ironed clothing

so what I do is take all the pants, socks, t shirts etc that are ready for the bin and ride in them then throw them away

or buy some cheap stuff and throw away

more room for the duty free[ is there still such a thing lol]

I also take loads of tesco's bags for any dirty clothing im taking home, for lining ur boots if there wet to help keep ur socks dry and as makeshift raincovers for boots etc. I actually have these stuffed into crevices under the seat for emergencies

if u have space a roll of insulating tape can come in handy for lots of little emergencies


infact that reminds me when i picked up an SV1000 years ago, 50 miles from home and it started snowing, wet snow. and I forgot to take my boots so I hit tescos for some bags and tape. worked a treat but my new bike was filthy
