I'm off on my NC500 adventure in a couple of days and started getting the Hyperstrada ready for the trip this evening. I forget how much this little mule can carry, as I've usually got the luggage off it hooning around the locality. I've decided to be a good lad and put the baffle back in so I'm not disturbing the locals too much.
Surely you just need a few pairs of pants, a couple of T shirts, a couple of pairs of socks and a toothbrush?
it will be fine. Tuesday scortchio. i rode most of the OuterHebrides at a 45degree angle due to the wind and rain, the evenings where usually good tho. and it was still fun. lots of coffee stops, lots of reasons to stop where normally i wouldn't of. you can miss so much when yer on a mission.
My hyperstrada going upto Scotland last year I found the two panniers were more that enough, I always take old knickers socks and t shirts and bin them after use.
Well, packed and ready for the off. I’ve taken @panigale66 ’s advice and managed to get everything into the side panniers and a bit of stuff in the tank bag. I’m sure I’ll be fine with a pair af jeans, trainers, 4 tops, 4 pairs of kegs and socks. I still think I’ll end up smelling like a caber tosser’s jock strap though, for some reason.
Try washing/showering. I find it helps immensely. On a more serious (if it really is that serious) note, buy some of these. https://www.marksandspencer.com/2-p...T14_6062A_Y0_X_EC_90&color=BLACK&prevPage=plp They come in various designs, long trunks, hipsters, briefs etc. I don't think they do a g-string one though, at least I couldn't find that one in the store when last over there. The beauty of them is you can wash them out in the sink at night and they will be dry and clean by the morning, they're comfortable too. Can't do that with cotton ones unless you have a radiator on all night to put them over. Thus you only need 2 pairs - just one pair might be cutting it a bit fine. Get a couple of T-shirts in the same material and the amount you have to carry is cut in 1/2.
