Prepare your bike to ride with luggage
It depends on the days that you think make your trip, but a good approach to take and how much luggage you take will save many problems. If you are traveling as a couple will have to provide two things, you have less space on the bike and the number of objects multiplied, though not necessarily both.
The best way is to equip your bike with a luggage set, all will be well anchored, you will not get wet and leave room for you or for driver and passenger … Luggage sets are virtually all types of motorcycles. Scooter If you travel you will have struggled with the opening of the case and a Topcase or trunk. If you travel by bike is the most complete kit trunk, panniers and tank bag. I have traveled on a motorcycle with tank bag and backpack with octopuses tied to the back, but I assure you that the time invested every day in fifth and put the octopus, it would have been better to invest in a good set of luggage.
As a recommendation, puts everything staple in the tank bag. Wallet, camera, maps … For two reasons, first because if you lose one you can easily remove it and prevent you remove what is necessary … Do this even if you get off the bike to pay for refueling, traveling alone there are a few friends gossiping on the lookout for motorists.

Be careful with credit cards and magnets of the tank bag is not found but I have the intuition that might affect its magnetic strip.
The personal baggage must be as small as possible. T-shirts, comfortable pants and shoes when we go down the bike, which will blend in with the team to relocate to ride on a motorcycle.
Jacket, gloves, boots and a good helmet is essential. Leather suit or two pieces, depending on your taste and level of riding the route. Good jeans can replace the bike pants, but you think something will go unprotected.
It is obvious to say, but it must have another look at the idea that never travel in shorts, shoe that fits well on the feet, shirt or without gloves. What the helmet goes without saying, but it is an integral or convertible and closed. A jet or open helmet is not a good choice to embark on a bike for miles.
Do not forget to throw a monkey of water, rain can surprise even in AlmerÃa. Plus, if you travel north or if a trip through Europe. I came to North Cape route after 15 days of rain.
Expected to carry a bag of detergent if you take a break and some laundry, it is more practical to carry a million shirts. An octopus, always practical, you can claim for hanging laundry.
