that is correct but many people (myself included) wouldn't do that due to our tropical climate.... the greenhouse effect might cause over-heating, and those who perspire excessively might suffer from rashes~ especially when the journey might included riding during the day (when the sun is up and blasting away)

with the exception of raincoat and bikey's stuffs, everything else fits into my 1.5L waist pouch which is water resistant.

 

so far i've only been on overnight trips (2 days 1 night), so dun really need to cart an entire wardrobe along with me.

 

 

here's a tip: pack small, pack light and share some load (toiletries, first aid kit, chain lube... etc)

 

 

 

but my bike has a box and i do bring an extra bag~ good for carting local goodies home....

okie i noob~

[PaLmEr]

Day to day ride:

 

Me, myself and I, 2 CO2 Cartridges, basic bike tool kit, tyre pressure kit, bike cover, raincoat

 

 

1 day trip:

The Above PLUS

Map of malaysia (just in case although so far not needed @ all)

 

Thailand Trip:

The Above PLUS

Map of thailand, side bags, tank bag.

[luminox]

travel light, watever u can buy from the 7-11,dun bring. Thailand n Malaysia got so many bike shops,tools/spares oso dun bring.

 

7-11 got palm-sized shampoo,shower gel,powder,facial scrub,toothbrush,toothpaste....enough for a few days' use. when leaving hotel/guesthouse,just leave it in the toilet, dun bring back.

 

clothes dun bring so much,coz 7-11 oso sell FAB washing powder at 5bht, can wash in the toilet bowl, but must hold the clothes when flushing away the soapy water.

 

bring a lot of confidence/faith when touring, scared this scared that u won't enjoy the trip.

 

somebody i know go for 1month trip all in 1 top box. oh yes, i forget to add,he has a pillion too.

i disagree. what about the times where you are on the NSH? or in the middle of the nite travelling to your destination?

[danieltanboonhuat]

how about the Super X tyre inflator , seems to be butane gas and some foam thing.. anyone used it?

[moccajava]

thinking bout that i saw one super4 with pillion with 2 storey high top box... no kidding... one monokey one givi. shaits! condo on the move!

 

i think personally #1 must bring is tyre patch kit AND spare bike key. i forgot the latter the other time and was worried phuck.
