Motorcycle Camping
I’m planning a motorcycle road trip from Brisbane down to Phillip Island around MotoGP time. I’ve never camped with a bike before but I’m keen as I love camping in general.
I have some questions for those who are experienced in this area, I have a MT-10 and am planning to fit it with saddlebags and a tail bag.
What are the most important things to bring/plan when doing this?
I need to find a quality, compact tent and sleeping bag mainly. Any great options out there?
In terms of what to bring, it’ll be roughly:
- Couple changes of clothes
- Wet weather gear
- Toiletries (toothbrush, toothpaste, mouthwash, trimmer)
- Compact tent + sleeping bag, inflatable pillow
- Tool kit for basic maintenance
- Compact tyre inflator, gauge, chain lube, visor cleaner
- 4L fuel cell?
- Water, will make a lot of jerky before departing also
I plan to use sites like Hipcamp along the way to find places to sleep.
Is there anything you wouldn’t go moto camping without?
Feel free to drop any suggestions, tips, or items/products!
