What I Have in My Motorcycle Saddle Bag?

What you really need to travel with motorcycle?
I always preaching go as light as possible, less is better, the weight is always matter, but I never really showed you what exactly I have in my saddle bag. In this video I am going to open it for you.
In fact I had one similar video, but it was made a long time ago the audio is not so good and that’s why I decide it to make it again. Also, since then, most of my preferences have been changed and now I carry even less. Believe or not, you actually don’t need that much to travel.
As you know I started this video series about the luggage we need on long motorcycle trips. I already did a detailed video about my tank bag, you can watch it here, if you haven’t already.
All right, most of you prefer to have some extra clothes or shoes and the end they finish with 50kg of luggage with things which they might need. Please do not miss the important fact that you are going to travel on our planet, not on Mars. In every town or village, it doesn’t matter where exactly, but you will find clothes or shoes. The things that are usually hard to find and it is better to have it are riding gear and boots and they actually do not stay in your bags.
Before I do it let me tell you few words about the bag I have. As you know I use it for the last couple of years and I can highly recommend it now with open hearth! This is actually my second bag from the same company and this is even better. The last model was with zip. It was waterproof, but not really 100%. In fact this zip system was the only downside I have found during the years of use.
Sometimes, especially when it is cold, it’s hard to zip or unzip it. Also to do it you actually need move the whole cover and let the zip to go easy.
With the new model all of that is already changed and it has this simple open and close solution. They also made another one leer inside and now the bag is 100% waterproof. I really appreciate everything they have done and it is obvious that these guys are riders, they know what we need.
Because I am always honest with you I will tell you that the bag was sent to me for free, because of the number of videos I have in my channel and the clients that I have sent to them. I did it because I really like this bag and I am always ready to pay for it regardless how much they will ask. Link to the Polish company you can find in my website. They don’t have English in the website, but send them an e-mail and they will reply as soon as possible. This is not affiliate link and I am not earning any money from it, just happy customer.

    Thanks Pavlin. I prefer another method - and almost the same result or a bit less. Imagine you go by yourself. NO bike. Take only staff which you can carry whole day in your backpack. Not 1 day but day after day. That is all you need. Actually it is the same staff in different places - walk with backpack, on the bike or motobike or at the car. Same everywere.

    Just a comment on hard zippers in general: if you rub a candle on them it makes them much easier to move. And it also helps a little with water tightness. Now I just got a week ago the new model from 21 brothers and although I have only been on one long day trip with it yet I can already say I absolutely love that bag - it even protected my leg and my motorcycle when I crashed on a steep muddy uphill in the jungles of Costa Rica (where I live) and itself came out without a scratch. Only downside is it makes it easy to take too much stuff :)

    Wow, great video! I agree with you that less is better, however I realised have a problem - my saddle bags are close to 60 litres (30 litres each side) and with all this "available" space, i tend to pack way more then I need. I've done this mistake twice already, I think it's time to look for smaller saddle bags, so that I don't take more then I need. Also compartmentalising your luggage is a great idea, I will steal it and implement it, if you don't mind. I already divide some of my luggage in smaller bags, but to have one that you just need for the night that you take up into the hotel is great, coz not everyday you want to unstrap the saddle bag and carry it all the way up to the room. Thank you very much for all the tips and ideas, ride safe and enjoy every moment of it!

Do you think about a video where you show how to instal your saddle bag on the bike and some practical info how to "operate" it during the trip, whether you need to lift your seat when you remove it from the bike, etc.? I believe nowdays because of good weather a lot of riders are looking for some bags and will be interested for many guys. I´m actually looking for one and wonder how to travel with it. Thanks for consideration.

    I like that soft saddle bags, even had a great deal on big givi bag on sale, but I bought a couple of givi trekker aluminium panniers. It is because I travel mostly in russia and want to go to europe and Turker. My tent with sleeping bag fits to smaller left pannier (bike is 2008 bmw r1200gsa). It is a good travel direction in Mongolia, but I'll need a different lighter bike to do that anyways.

    When you said you only take one pair of normal socks I was first very baffled, but then you explained that taking more is not necessary because it's possible to buy socks everywhere - mind blown. Thank you. On another note: Last year I went on a +1 week hiking trip and learned that carrying one piece of underwear, one t-shirt, one pair of socks, etc. per day was completely unnecessary because you can simply wash all these things by hand. It's not as perfect as machine washed clothing but it's completely fine (and it adds to the "adventure-y feeling"). Cheap hotels and other accommodations likely won't have a washing machine but you'll find a bathroom with a sink to wash your clothes everywhere. In fact, you won't even need to take detergent with you since using liquid soap works for washing clothes as well. Question: I assume it'll be hard to find places where you can buy a single pair of socks. I watched a lot of your videos and you talked about how there are always people around to help. Would brand-new unused socks work as a sort of trading currency? Giving people money is not always an option, I assume, but when you visit a region that is "poor" compared to Central Europe, would it make sense to take spare things with you to give them to locals?

During my last trip all I carried was a duffle bag and a laptop backpack because it was only waterproof bag I had. Duffle bag in a polythene black Dustin bag rolled over. Since I have tubeless tires, no need for tubes except the repair kit. Sparkplugs, extra cables are already zip tied to the bike.

    In case I am only traveling somewhere I completely agree with you. I have done 3 trips like this last year. The problem I have encountered with this is if you want to also see something and you need to go away from your bike for an hour or two. Carrying your stuff with you is almost impossible (these bags are not made to be carried for long distance). Leaving it on bike makes it vulnerable to opportunistic thieves (I got one backpack stolen). Your MC gear is also not the most comfortable in 30 degrees to walk around in. For these reasons I am buying aluminium panniers this year. I just wanted to share opinion from different point of view. Not to mention if you travel in two. Camping gear for that alone would probably take more than whole bag if you don't travel only somewhere with warm nights so only light sleeping bags are needed. Btw: Where do you keep your rain gear and hygiene supplies? Anyway good luck on your future adventures!

What I do is to stop the bike in front of shop, coffee, petrol station or someone to look on it. The tank bag always taking with me. Never had any problems.

    That's pretty much what I carry clothes wise. Like you I also wear synthetic or "technical" clothing. Washes easily and dries quickly and packs small. As for your "camping" bag,I'm impressed with its small size. I've cut back and cut back on the amount of stuff I take but can't get my camping bag down as small as yours. I'd like to know what chair,tent,sleep mat,sleeping bag you use,please. Are they listed on another video?

    Wow! You sure travel light! I'd like to know what the total weight is including your tools etc as mine have to go in the luggage, as I have no where on the bike to store them. Looking to reduce my luggage compared to last year! Anyone having trouble with sticking zips.... beeswax is good, just run a stick along the length of both sides of the zip, or you can get products from any SCUBA diving shop, they use it on the zips on diving suits. Forgot to say, I prefer a long sleeve base layer compared to T Shirts to ride in.... even in hot temperatures...I find if my skin is in direct contact to my jacket, I sweat on my lower arms... long sleeve base layer 'wick' this away by design.
