Show me your bike loaded with tent camping gear

[navynuke]

haven't loaded the S10 up yet, but here is how I setup my Vstrom







Was a 4 day trip from AZ to NorCal and Northern Nevada then back. Made for a good 10 year high school reunion trip.

My Stop Sign Cargo plate has been working fantastic, even at yard sales.. ;D

Overboard bag 90L holds Sleeping bag, Tent, Chunk of Memory foam in an I-Pad bag as a pillow, camp shoes folding chair mess kit book to read lantern, Stove food and some light clothing And My Little Friend. >

Extra pair paints, Socks Underwear and T-shirt (for extended trips). Rain gear in side bags along with two cans of Isobutane if I am going for more than three days.

The red thing under the bag is a folding insulated cooler for food and Brew from the local stores in camping zone . ::003::

I am going crazy trying to figure out what the Lemon Pledge is for.

Cleans windshields, windscreens. Polishes your tank and plastics...etc.

It's also tasty with Vodka and spices up your fish tacos!

 

[Bappo]

What West said.

Lemon Pledge is the same stuff as the old Honda spray cleaner/polisher only it smells lemony fresh ;D About the very best all purpose cleaner I've ever found. And a ton cheaper than anything else too.

LP is a winner..
I also have a small spray bottle of Prestone Bug remover windshield wiper fluid.
Stuff melts the bugs off everything, just wipe them off then hit it with the lemon pledge..

Polishing that stump by the campfire and giving it a nice lemon smell

 

[jwhuls]

Lemon Pledge Vodka and Fish Tacos! That sounds legendary.

I need to get out that way and ride with you crazy fools. ::003::

 

[Bravo12]

Just a few weeks ago, camping in West Virginia. I've been using the same Moto-Pak GT-Roll bag for years to carry all of my camping gear. The saddlebags get packed the same for short trips or long trips: clothes/toiletries on the right, bike gear and tools on the left. Electronics and extra gloves in the Seahorse top case, and chargers and snacks in the tanks bag. The GT-Roll bag has my tent, sleeping bag (in a waterproof bag), sleeping pad, sleeping bag liner, cooking stove, etc. And the bike still handles great all loaded up.

I just read this entire thread and got some great ideas. I just purchased a S10 but also have a 12 Vstrom 650 Adv. I purchased the OEM Yamaha side cases but passed on the huge top case. I am thinking of getting a Wolfman Dry Duffel to strap over the massive rear platform/rack.


Here is my Vstrom setup in Rivière-du-Loup, which is NE of Quebec.
