Motorcycle Adventure Touring

How to travel the world, or go cross country, on a motorcycle. Bikes to buy, luggage systems to consider, and equipment that will make your ride a whole lot more enjoyable. One thing I noticed in my travels is that most of the sites that claim to cater to motorcycle adventure tourists require you to wade through an incredible amount of nonsense to find the answer to your questions. Hopefully, this guide will help you get the information you need when you need it.

Laundry Soap

In most supermarkets throughout Central and South America, you can buy a big block of glycerin laundry soap for about a dollar. This will last for months of washing your travel clothes at night or every other night.

Quick, Cheap and Easy Motorcycle Alarm

In the US, JCWhitney offers an alarm in their motorcycle catalog that clamps to the handlebar. I have used them on many of my trips and they work pretty well.
