Motorcycle packing list

When I'm traveling on two wheels, my packing list is much smaller than usual; I only take the bare essentials with me to travel with my luggage.

Are you wondering what to do with your other travel items when you're traveling in a country and switch to a motorcycle? In my experience, many countries offer affordable self-storage units in houses or company buildings where you can rent affordable storage space of any size.

I've been to Thailand many times and have traveled by car, motorbike and scooter. For me the country is perfect for exploring on two wheels, yes the traffic/driving style should not be underestimated but with sensible defensive and anticipatory driving you can get by just fine. What I learned from Thai traffic is not to rely on others and think for them, this isn't always the case but it helps you avoid getting into dangerous situations. Because I didn't want to overload the motorbike and wanted to stay agile, I decided against side bags/cases and am traveling only with a hard-shell case and a motorbike bag that is easy to secure and water-resistant. Originally my idea was to travel with just one bag, but because of all the electronics for filming and editing I decided to go with the case.
