so in a month or so we are leaving for an overland trip to italy, slovenia and croatia- should take us 2 weeks

I am trying to complete a list of stuff to take and this is what i came up with ....

Full gear
torch
extra clutch/break levers
tools + extra screws + extra master link
extra engine oil
chain lube
rain coat
puncture kit
1/2 litre bag of fuel
video camera + tank mount
mobile charger
(clothes, socks etc)


Sorry if im mentioning the obvious stuff, but it is usually these things which you forget. What more?? i know i forgot a dozen.
I have to fit this on ONE tail bag strapped to my passenger seat. No tanks bags or lateral bags.

thanks for any help u can forward
Chris

 

rain gear.... locks......extra sheild...saddle bags cause you just wont have enough space for all this crap.

 

That is some cool country your going to... if your going to italy, bring a gun and watch your bikes! shoot anyone that gets to close. Are you going to be camping out or staying in hostels? sandels for the beach... take a detour to austria if you can they have some awsome roads there, though they may not be maintained very well, the view is awsome. someday im gonna do that, either rent a bike or bring mine over there. Good luck and have fun!

 

gas sounds dangerous bro..

 

i wouldnt be comfortable bringing gas along w/ me...maybe just a bag incase u need to get gas back to your bike...

also, y cant u use saddle bags?

get a helmet cam...take the camera off the tank, and get a tank bag....just an idea

 

Here are some fuel bottles for backpacking. Might be good for the bike.

is there a tire pressure guage in the puncture kit?Do you have a cover packed? I'd love to see some pics of your bike...

 

these are the pics. the pres gauge is separate from the tyre inflator... so its quite a game.
