A few photos from recent trips and my setup
Here’s my 2007 Yamaha fz6 s2, it’s been my daily for a year and a half so far. It’s done trackdays, commuting, and lately it’s been doing some motocamping, and Im hooked. No longer do I have to try get to a location I want to ride, spend time there and ride back in a day. The setup is a cheap 30L Oxford bag, 4 rokstraps to hold it to the rear pegs, a givi st611 tankbag for often used essentials, a vango Orion 200 2 man tent, highlander serenity 350 bag, cheap sleep mat (next upgrade). Sea to summit pillow, and extra misc. the 30L bag is “enough” but I would advise anyone to go to the 45L for the slight extra in price. Hope to post more stuff soon. Also yeah, the cap stays put behind the strap

I’ve been looking at the Dirtsack Erupt v2, 2x24L bags. Not the cheapest, but far from the most expensive. My main reason is I’ve been on a scooter for the past 8 years and am only just graduating to a real bike, despite doing my licence over 10 years ago. I’m thinking I need to learn to walk, before I can run so low down weight will make the bike a little easier to handle as an alternative to stabilisers

Dude the dirtsack erupt looks like a really good value rackless system. I’m looking to get a crf rally next year and was looking at the offerings from mosko and kreiga, dirtsack is now on my radar too. 🤙

Dirtsack had a stand at this year’s ABR Festival and I got to see and feel the quality of the kit. It felt tough and well made, far better than the Rhinowalk I had been considering. I also like the bag-in-a-bag design to make it easy to pack and to remove when needed

Hi, nice setup! What chair do you have?

Cheers 🤙, it’s the Oxford camping chair that I use, if your in the UK, they are like £35 ish, pack down well and are quite comfy

interesting, this year, so far, I did two (2) motorcycle camping, and the third is coming soon, and the 4th in couple of months. (tried to share photo, but this site wont allow it!)

I love that setup. That bike is light and small enough you could even do some light adv style trails with the right tires.
I can't decide which I like more: bikes that are incredibly good at what they were built for, or bikes that are genuinely useful for almost anything.
Your setup looks fun, and that's the point right? 👍
