Baggage

Over the course of my life I have slowly learned how to pack smarter and lighter. Yes, I used to be a chronic over-packer, but if traveling on a motorcycle has taught me anything it is to continually ask myself the dreaded question..  "Do I really need this?" I have to say that it is always a challenge.

Here are two bags that make my travels easier.

The Cortech sport tail bag is easy and fast to attach with built in bungee cord hooks. It is cushy on the inside and durable on the outside with an expandable, easy access, top-loading main compartment. For $80 it is a great travel bag. Cortech is currently sold out of them but I found it available here.

I love this backpack! It is super comfortable with adjustable shoulders and lumbar strips. It has internal waterproof lining, a padded inside pocket for your laptop and it expands for full-face helmet transportation. It's $100 and worth every cent. Buy it here.

As I plan to take longer trips on my bike I know I will have to step it up on the luggage front. Here is what I am thinking of next..

At roughly $400 for each side, sadly, these bad boys will have to wait..but just imagine how many pairs of shoes I could travel with if I had them!
