How To Minimize Luggage Clutter For Your Upcoming Road Trip?

Are you wondering what you must pack for your upcoming road trip? Well you are in the right place. We are going to help you plan your luggage in such a way that you do not carry anything that you do not need and everything that you do. But before we begin, let's set the fundamentals first. You go on a road trip not to carry everything you have at your house along with you, but to enjoy the freedom and an uncluttered experience of being on the road. With that out of the way let's get started with what you need to do to pack your luggage the right way.

Invest In Good Quality Motorcycle Luggage Bags

Motorcycle luggage bags are godsend for people who want to carry their luggage without straining their backs with a backpack. Luggage bags are available in different configurations but the most common ones come in pairs which you can hang on both sides of your two-wheeler and one on the grab rail behind the motorcycle, which is known as the top box. There are also additional luggage carrying options such as fuel tank bags and mesh nets which can carry titbits and other small things on the side of the motorcycle without filling up pressure space on the motorcycle luggage bag. If you are riding with a pillion rider, then you must plan for accommodating everything in the limited space that you have, versus when you ride alone, you do not need to worry about space management. Luggage bags come in either hard-shell designs made of polycarbonate or soft bags made of synthetic fabric which are tough enough to carry your stuff for many years to come. Depending upon how frequently you ride, invest in the right option which makes sense for you. Hardshell luggage bags are more expensive compared to fabric bags but they return their worth in money by lasting longer and keeping your luggage protected even in harsh weather conditions.

Leave The Clutter Behind

You don't need your laptop or big mobile devices unless you are planning to work while you are on the road (which is a bad idea anyways), so leave them behind at home. It's a good idea to get yourself disconnected while you are on the road because this will allow you to experience nature at its fullest inside of constantly worrying about checking your emails or messages from work! The same goes for other items such as books and clothes. Pack only the very minimum that will keep you comfortable and nothing more. Unnecessary clothes can quickly add up into huge piles that you never used but only carry around which also reduces the mileage of your motorcycle.

Leave Large Solid Items At Home

A good rule of thumb to minimize clutter on your road trip is to never carry solid items that are bigger than your helmet. Even then, you must never replace your motorcycle helmet inside the luggage carrying bags because it takes up less space which you can use for other important items. Other solid items such as cameras and mobile phones or other important accessories must be of small size so that you can chuck them in the corners without consuming a lot of space. Plan properly and find substitutes for big items which you can carry with you. For example, you do not need a full tube of toothpaste for a week-long road trip. Similarly, you don't need large chunks of soap or shampoo bottles because small sachets are available which can do the job without taking up space for a full-sized bottle.

Buy Disposable Items On The Road

Speaking of sachets and packets, you can always get them on the road from malls are local shops that carry such items in abundance. And other small items such as tissue papers and paper napkins are also not necessary to be with you at all times. You can purchase all of such disposable items on the road and throw them away responsibly when you are done with it. The same goes for packaged food which you can easily purchase at any shop so you do not need to take up space on your luggage bags for such items at all. If you plan on camping, you can depend upon local stores for supplies such as disposable plates and wood for your campfire at your destination. Having said that, it is always a good idea to carry disposable plates and spoons so that you can immediately have a meal without looking around for those items when you are hungry!

Improvise With As Little As Possible

Have a dedicated space in your luggage bag for multipurpose special tools that can do a lot of things without taking up a lot of space. For example, multi-tools which have spanners, screwdrivers and other important motorcycle management tools in one small package is very helpful to get you out of tough situations. Aluminum foil and duct tape are also very multipurpose items which serve a lot of purpose which you would otherwise invest in several items when you are at the luxury of your home. All the motorcycle riding glasses do not take up a lot of space but you can still save some useful space by not carrying your goggles. Invest in a good quality dual visor motorcycle helmet which comes with an inbuilt sun protection which will keep your eyes from getting tired even under bright sunlight.
