Tourers, your feedback will be helpful. Day / hotel luggage on top. Camping and tools on the sides. Side opening luggage works well in this setup but what am I missing? Max:110l, more than enough space #motosky #v85tt #motoguzzi #motocamping #mototouring #swmotech Secret collapsible stool, too!

Be realistic on the tools you bring, unless your going completely off piste you don't need as much as you think.

BUT... If there's something your bike needs that the average mechanic won't have (e.g. the 65mm socket for the wheel lug on my Ryker) be sure to bring it.

I still need to work out a toolkit for the V85 TT. I'll do some servicing in the next quarter and work that out. @nevada-stray-cat.bsky.social Yeah, there's a few bits, i'm sure.

Bedroll? Tent? I mention because you said you're going to be camping. Something novices sometimes miss in the bedroll? A pillow.

I've done some camping this year so I've already got my pillow tested. "FLEXTAILGEAR Neck Contour Inflatable Camping Pillow." I need to decide on a new sleeping bag and I think I'm going for something very lightweight, plus a liner.

Liners are good -- they make a bedroll more flexible.

I have an earlier revision of that sw motech bag and it’s a banger. Good stuff. I like how stuff is packed small and down low. Lots of people build a big tower behind them. Keep the weight and volume down low

Thank you for all your help. I wrote about the setup in a new article on MeetMobility. I'll be testing it in a shakedown tour in the UK at the end of September. meetmobility.com/information/...
