HERE IS THE SOLUTION The Trasharoo! If we don't want our roads to be closed, we have to pick up after the fucking assholes that trash it
/u/seasond As an avid shooter and off-roader, I totally agree with you. I hate that when I'm looking for shooting areas off of Rampart (or anywhere around CoS), all I look for is the totally thrashed trees with crap littered around them. It's horrible that people don't take the extra second to pick up after themselves. It's pretty similar everywhere I've been offroad shooting in Colorado. I also agree that OHV campsites usually have more broken glass and general crap than others.
Forest Service is not supposed to pick up our crap. I'd guess the cost of paying a 2-body team to ride around and clean up is roughly $100k+/year. I have fun on these roads, but I understand why people are asking for 1. more regulation, or 2. shut them down completely
and /u/Moegain is totally right in saying that TOO MANY IDIOTS ARE ACTUALLY GOING OFF TRAIL! Offroading is such a misnomer because you're really just trail running, but so many people just build a rig and go out without understanding how much damage your vehicle can cause.
I bike through the winter up until a certain temp cutoff. My no go temperature is colder than -12. Anything warmer and I'm going.
With the right gear it's actually nice, and your commute to work turns into an adventure every day, and you feel like you're on an expedition conquering the elements.
bike setup: i have a single speed 1970's road bike that i use in the winter. I have 32mm studded tires on it for icy conditions.

I use these ATV bar mitts because they are way cheaper than bike specific ones. I wear thick gloves inside of these when it's below zero.
base layers: you need wool or synthetic long johns as the base layer and wool socks. when really cold i double up
pants: I have winter biking pants that are lined with fleece and windproof on the front. get some chinese made ones on amazon, just make sure you get the really big size
top: so on top of the base layers, I have a soft shell jacket that breaths a little. when less than zero, sometimes there will be a fleece under that
boots: I have undersized snow boots I ride with, using flats for pedals. If you have the jack and ride clipless, look into 45nrth boots
face: balaclava, and when really cold, I wrap a scarf around my head too. I used to wear goggles but they would freeze up so I just stopped and let my eyelids freeze shut every once in a while.
that's about it.
Trasharoo
Aw man, if you don't have one yet This Bag save my life on many occasions.
I may borrow my buddy's puig touring, and I just bought a tail bag! Got this one Nelson Rigg CL-1060-S Sport Motorcycle Tail/Seat Bag https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00RGQ1OJW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_E3INAbACGSENN

I have these-

Not sure if they're available in the UK- They're good bags for the price, fit the grom nicely
It's not wrong at all; you hoist it away from you and everyone else in the campsite but you mentioned you woke up to it being torn open. The only thing I can think of that would cause that to happen is flailing tree branches in the wind or raccoons. It's most likely the latter.
The reason I recommend getting a tougher trash bag, like a Trasharoo, is to mitigate trash pandas tearing into it. What you would do with a Trasharoo or literally any tough fabric bag (cordura) is throw your full Hefty bags inside of it. Then before you lay down for the night, unclip the Trasharoo or Alice pack or whatever from your vehicle and hoist it up into a tree like you would with the regular Hefty bags.
A Trasharoo is only about $40. You can get an old Alice pack ruck for about $15-$30 from a local surplus store depending where you live.
You're doing what you did before, with a tougher bag. Then you can keep all the trash out of your car when traveling and keep it hooked up to the outside. Alleviating bad stench from your vehicle.
I love the Bestem 929, I've had two of them now.
https://www.amazon.com/Bestem-T-Box-TBOX-929-BLK-Motorcycle-Scooter/dp/B001O77CMW
These Cortech bags. They were good, did their job. The waterproof covers are a bit of a joke, but hey, what do you expect at 70 mph in the rain.
. 3M High Reflective tape. This stuff is incredible if you ride at night.
. Top case with extra brake light. The extra storage is super handy, and the extra light and surface area make you easier to see. Plus, you can apply more highly reflective tape to the flat black parts of the case!
. New full face helmet, from a good brand, and with good reviews.
. Full tune-up with oil change, air filter, spark plug. Check your brake pads, tire pressure, and tread depth while you're at it.
Just to jump in on what /u/kittennought has said, you do NEED a good jacket, boots etc. If you're worried about carrying gear around, invest in a topbox to store your helmet and jacket so you don't have to carry them around with you. Unfortunately heavy gear is part of owning and riding a motorcycle. Also, make sure that you get boots with ankle support. Jeans are okay, leather/armored trousers are better.
Got it from Amazon, super cheap but decent quality (esp considering the price):

Amazon has 'em
How do you like those saddle bags? I'm tempted to change my leather bags to a fabric, like these.
They're these:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000RN4FK6/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Very removable. However, I didn't pay that much for them! Keep checking Amazon - they occasionally come down just under $40.
I've got a Honda 919 (hence the name :D). Naked standard with a retro 'hoodlum' look. I got a nice size tank bag that holds the CamelBac backpak and other stuff.
They are kinda like these: https://www.amazon.com/Cortech-8230-0305-36-Black-Super-Saddlebag/dp/B008Q5J6UG
But bigger and square shaped. The outer part of them expand with a zipper to about 2X the size. If you put a bracket between them, below the seat where the rear fender would be, they can handle some pretty good weight. I lock mine under the seat and have a net and straps in case things are larger.
What I want now, is a fold down cloth bag that has rigid foam that folds out to cover the rear seat and attaches to the bags, for things like pizzas and larger orders.
Basically if you look at a truck organizer, but with rigid foam board for the side and have it break down for storage.
Like this: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Collapsible-Folding-Trunk-Organizer-Caddy-Car-Auto-Truck-Storage-Bin-Bag-New/107440840?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=709&adid=22222222227042534523&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=107048086637&wl4=aud-566049426705:pla-172685740638&wl5=9032530&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=112343202&wl11=online&wl12=107440840&wl13=&veh=sem&gclid=CjwKCAiA7vTiBRAqEiwA4NTO67bl_-NI_2bkPKGVcqfSdeBWjlj5e9VwqcxFAD3_xZcaUMIjvy6bahoC4z8QAvD_BwE
But smaller and add some foam sides and straps.
Here's the deal. It costs me about $0.08/mile or so to ride for gas. We get $0.58/mile for tax write off for regular maint. So far, it looks like most of my earnings are tax free, meaning (if I understand it correctly) I have about as much write offs as I have earnings. So the game is, best MPG you can get and most orders in the least time you can get.
If you get to $15/hr after taxes, account for gas, etc... You're close to maybe the $20 gross earnings range. Meanwhile, I'm riding around listening to music and getting food for people... Laughing at people stuck in traffic :D

I'm going to buck the trend and mention that I bought a $20 heated vest on Wish, and that thing is the tits. Sizing runs extremely small, because... China.
It runs for a bitchin' long time off of any USB power bank (the knockoff vests are cheap because no battery is included). You provide your own, but the upside is you can go as big or little as you want in that department. The vest just has a USB plug that you can bung into anything. You could plug it into your bike, too, but a small battery bank is way less of a hassle. It lacks sleeves, but I have not found this to be an issue at all.
Under my normal riding gear it is more than warm enough if I have it on just over my undershirt. Having an insulating shell over it is critical when you are moving, otherwise the heat it generates just blows away. I have never felt the need for heated pants. My ADV pants are plenty warm with the removable liners installed and all the vents closed. If you keep your core warm, your arms/legs should remain warm as well. Fingers and toes are a different story.
I have heated grips, and use a set of cheap GI poly glove liners inside my "winter" motorcycle gloves (which are not actually very warm by themselves). This combo plus the heated grips is adequate for around 30-40 minutes of riding around freezing before I start getting pissed off. I do have handguards with wind deflectors on my KLR, which probably helps -- albeit very slightly.
For extended riding in cold weather, or if you have shit gloves, check out snowmobile hand warmers:
https://www.amazon.com/Kolpin-Geartector-Mitts-Black-92185/dp/B001Q4YMXA/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=snowmobile+hand+warmers&qid=1573939191&sr=8-1
They offer pretty much complete wind protection plus if you have heated grips they will turn into little hot boxes. The trick is to get snowmobile or ATV variants (make sure they'll clear your mirrors, though). You can get "motorcycle" ones which are the same damn thing, but cost 4x more because they say "motorcycle" on them.
Keeping your toes from freezing is more of a challenge. Heated socks exist as do heated insoles. Avoid heated socks. They get stinky fast and they're a major pain in the ass to wash. At the moment I use thick wool winter hiking socks and a pair of Thinsulate full height hunting boots -- possibly throwing crash safety to the wind. They're stiff as fuck, just as much so as some of my dedicated "motorcycle" boots, authoritatively waterproof, and cheap. And warm, most importantly.
I've got this and these on my bike and they're excellent. I hold my tools, 1/2 gallons of gas and my papers in it and I have enough room to fold my jacket up and stash it away if I don't want to carry it with me. I've never had any issues with water, and they have a little mini-pocket that has a blaze green bag that goes around each one that you absolutely can not miss, it's like they're glowing in the day light. They just catch your eye.
You really can't beat these for $100(total), and they're Prime! I would give them a 9/10, the straps can be a pain as you have to kind of tie off the loose ends to keep from flapping or catching on something.
I have this Nelson Rigg bag and it's awesome. It fits a gallon of milk without having to expand.
https://www.amazon.com/Nelson-Rigg-CL-1060-S-Sport-Motorcycle/dp/B00RGQ1OJW/
Nelson Rigg makes a nice big set that looks like it'll hold quite a bit. Make sure to check dimensions against your exhaust spacing so you don't burn the bottoms of the bags.
http://www.amazon.com/Nelson-Rigg-CL-855-Formerly-Touring-Saddlebags/dp/B00BQ0FM8S
I personally use a cheapo set I got on Amazon and they work fine, but look cheap and don't hold as much as I'd like them to.
http://www.amazon.com/Classic-Accessories-73707-MotoGear-Motorcycle/dp/B000RN4FK6
I also run the top bag and the tank bag with that Classic Accessories set when in full touring mode. For a given trip, it holds enough for:
And as mentioned before, 2-3 days worth of clothes, toiletries, medicine, and my laptop are in my backpack.

Get locking luggage. It's not cheap, but once you have it you'll wonder why you ever rode without it. Givi makes great stuff, but you pay for it. There are much cheaper options that work just as well, for example I've had this case on my V-Strom since '08 (~30K miles) without any problems. Givi is pretty much the only game in town when it comes to affordable locking side cases though. I use their E21 side cases: they're the narrowest side cases they make. You can stuff a jacket into the e21, it's snug but it'll fit.
Here is a list of upgrades to the bike, and some of the gear I brought with me.

For flats I have a set of the X-Large Bar Mitts also, and frankly I've yet to find anything that has that much room inside them. They're huge, big enough for a ski glove.
Road bars are a bit more difficult, Bar Mitts are really the only good solution I've found.
I've got a set of Kolpin Bar Mitts, the bar end zips open a bit to help slide them over stuff. With heated grips, these are seriously warm.
I generally just use Moose Racing elephant ears. They are just foam pads, the don't wrap around the handguards. They offer way better wind protection that just bark busters. I have heated grips so these work well. Another link.
Nelson Rigg Sport Touring Tailbag and Nelson Rigg SPRT-40 Saddlebags. Haven't used them much yet but I'm happy with the fitment and ease of install/ removal.

I haven't tried them yet, but they seem like they'll work well. Their main purpose is to block wind - you'll still need to wear decent gloves.

The swing arm bag isn't big, but it's good for registration, insurance, a lock, and a few super burritos
The buzzing on the handlebars landed me comfortably in carpal tunnel territory off the batt, with most of my right hand going numb. Yay for the 2018's hard mounted handle bars! My buddies already had these so I stopped at a random bike shop and grabbed one (was $24.95usd) and it was the best thing ever. Unlike those "cramp busters" that let you release your grip because a flap rests against your palm, these allow you to take your hand completely off the bars while the throttle stays where you set it. I find them at every random bike and atv accessories store. Made all the difference, didn't get in my way at all during twisties, was easy to effortlessly set/release without effort while riding.
I just ran premium, as that's what the manual asks for. US gas is stupidly cheap to start with, so it was substantially cheaper than regular fuel back home, and the MT07's so good on gas anyways. Cost me on average around $7usd/250km, but that was mostly in twistier roads at a good clip; if we did the speed limit I could have extended that range considerably. For how I ride it turned out 250km range worked very well as a guideline.
My shoulders where fine, as you can sit right upright on the MT07 if you wish so there's no strain on them at all.
My ass, on the other hand, was in screaming pain. The seat was simply inadequate for that kind of ride. I find it's good for up to 2 hours at a time. I'd do another ride with this seat if I had to, but I'm hoping to grab... Something, I dunno what yet, to make it better. A seat cover or something.
I brought a toolkit consisting of a Leatherman, a couple crescent wrenches, a set of Allen Keys, a multimeter, some zip ties and some metal wire, a tire pressure gauge with a length of duct tape wrapped around it, and spare universal control cables. I'd say for most people a multimeter is less important, but mine came in handy diagnosing and fixing (bypassing, rather) a friend's gimpy clutch/neutral switch.
Also packed: socks and underwear per day, a pair of spare t-shirts and a pair of pants packed into ziplock freezer bags with the air squeezed out (way more compact than just rolling clothes, AND guaranteed to stay dry), a sweater and an undershirt (layering yo! Adjust to the temperatures), a couple microfiber rags and lens cleaner for my face shield, some Tylenol, a small first aid kit (thankfully unneeded), toothpaste/toothbrush/floss/antiperspirant.
The tail bag is a Nelson Rigg CL 1060S which was phenomenal and looked really nice on the bike, and a cheap cargo net strapped over top for carrying loose stuff (removed layers of clothes, bottles of water, bag of Cheetos, etc) that I wanted fast access to.
Also had a RAM mount off the left mirror stem with a wired in charger so my phone stayed at 100% while rocking Google Maps (downloaded maps, so worked offline) and music to my Sena headset. That charger would fast-charge my phone if the bike was running, or just slow charge otherwise. Having GPS going all the time really relieved some anxiety as I could stop and take photos without worrying about losing the group. Location sharing is super helpful too once your in town; can split up and find each other again effortlessly.
Great bike eh? The bags are Nelson Rigg CL-950.
They work for the bike and sit 1-2" above the pipe, but are a pain in the neck to take off and put on again, so plan on leaving them on.
How on earth did you get a lunch box under the seat?
Here's the bags I used. They're actually side bags for harley frames, but the contours worked nicely with what I wanted. From what I've seen, saddle bags tend to add a lot of size to the back of the bike, so I went with something smaller and with more unique lines. The bags I got are here and here
Nelson Rigg CL-1060-R Black Commuter Lite Motorcycle Tail/Seat Bag https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07KZCLGXS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_hi2SCb161BGWM
I commute to work a lot and it fits my lunch box and a few other small things. It still looks sporty. There’s different sizes you can get depending on how much space you want.
I did a quick search online and it doesn't look like there are any side case mounting options for your bike. Top racks do exist which will give you more room for stuff on the back. You'll probably pack way more than you need but that happens to everyone on their first trip; I remember bringing so much crap that I thought I needed but I never ended up using. I know a lot of people here recommend ROK straps. I am really paranoid about stuff falling off so I use rachet or camlock straps (super cheap from Harbor Freight). The downside is they may scuff up your bike if you're not careful and let them rub on the fairings but I never had a problem.
I have a cheapo (~$30) tank bag from Coleman, yes the camping gear company. It's got 8 magnets that stick to the tank pretty well. If your tank cover is plastic then you'll need to get a bag with detachable straps. It comes with a rain cover but I never needed it.
As for the charger, I got something like this; the leads attach to your battery terminals and you can run/strap it along your frame up to your handlebars (I had my phone in my tank bag). Just make sure that your SAE cable has a fuse on it. The 2.4A USB adapter makes charging your phone a cinch plus it also tell you your battery voltage.
Regarding the distance that's easily doable in half a day. I'm not familiar with the ergos of your bike but make sure to stop often just to stretch your legs and move other parts of your body.
I used to have these saddlebags and go through drive thrus all the time. I'd quickly unzip the top, drop the food in, and take off. Most of the time the person handing over the food was impressed, because they had no idea how I was going to get my dinner home on a motorcycle!
There are also underseat bags and saddlebags.
ETA - Sorry, didn't realize this was so old :P
I use something that looks like this.
Although what I'm using isn't actually that because it's a knock off. But it's relatively small with a curved top for "aerodynamics" (lel) Has plenty of space too. And you can use a tiny padlock to lock the zipper to the plastic D-ring near the handle.
To block from the wind this is really the only thing that will help
Kolpin 92185 Geartector Mitts Black
Jokes aside, buy some snowmobile gloves and heated grips. The gloves should have thinner palms and heavy outer layers.
For the heated grips I have been very impressed with the tusk lock on one's. Their about 50usd. Got mine from Rocky mountain atv Mc but you can probably get em anywhere.
These are the bar mitts I am using. They are a bit bulky on my Zuma/BWs but keep out the wind and rain.
I use a motorcycle back pack I got from amazon for $50. Works great great it's like I'm not wearing anything at all. There's no wind resistance and it has a chest strap and a waist strap with plenty of room so I wouldn't worry about whether your laptop fits or not. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00KXMEL3M/ref=ya_aw_oh_bia_dp?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Suggestions on backpacks?
I just migrated from a 89 Goldwing 1500 to a 13 Triumph Thruxton. As in going from riding a bike with more storage than an RV to riding a bike with absolutely none. I don’t like the look of tank bags nor the look of saddle bags. This bike just has the perfect look to it and I feel like any bolt ons or strapped stuff will ruin the look. So I’m looking for a decent backpack. Mostly for the typical commuter stuff (lunch/gloves, etc.) I’m looking for a low cost one. I did a little research and some of those bags are going for like $300+. I’m not down for spending that much.
I was thinking about this one on amazon
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KXMEL3M/?coliid=I1OM82UDZKEDCM&colid=Y67HC6V61JV9&psc=0&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it
Anyone have any experience with it? Any other recommendations?

It’s not perfect but gets the job done! Use it mainly to carry clothes and shoes to the gym
I have these and the tail bag and they've been awesome for the 6 months I've been using them. You really can't beat them for the price, and the tail bag snaps onto the saddle bags so you don't really have to mess with latching it under the seat.
A regular backpack does fine for a quick sprinkle but I dont think the contents would stay dry in heavy rain. A waterproof tailbag would be a good option and keep any weight off your back. I picked up this one and its solid: Nelson Rigg CL1060 tail bag

My only complaint is that my Pixel 2 XL doesn't really fit in the map pocket up top, I can barely button it closed.
Bike cover and cheap saddlebag recommendations? Hoping to spend under $200 total. Currently looking at the Cortech Super 2.0 but have no idea what to look for in terms of covers. About to go back to school and will be losing my garage, thus the cover need. The saddlebags would be used for holding my gear while I'm not riding, as well as a small gym bag or other miscellaneous items. I'm not particularly worried about locking the bags as motorcycle parking at school is all in high traffic areas and well covered by cameras.

I have the Cortech 2.0 for my ‘17 T120. Love it. 👍
Probably my Nelson Rigg CL-1060 Tailbag
It's big enough to fit everything you will need, yet doesn't distract from the look of the bike. I haven't had to wear a backpack because of this tail bag. It even has an expandable zippered portion.
I have a 2012 ruckus that I got used from craigslist. I got it for 2000. Works like a charm. Steers easily. Haven't had any issues with it in the year or two that I've had it. I'm in love. I love Honda scooters and smaller motorcycles. One of the reasons I chose ruckus is because of the option to put a storage bag under the seat. I don't have a car, so my ruckus is my way around town. Unless I need to get on the highway, then I use uber or car share. But, for the most part, I scoot everywhere. The bag comes in handy, since I can just take it with me into the store. I also have a backpack that I take with me when I need to do a little bit more shopping. Between the two, I can fit all of my groceries for the week. Mine only goes up to 40 mph(unless I'm going downhill) despite going up to 45 on the speedometer. I usually like to cruise at 35 though, because that's my happy speed. One of the reasons I chose a ruckus over a motorcycle/bigger scooter is I didn't want to go through all of the extra paperwork, lines, test, and classes to get a motorcycle license in my state. I REALLY like that it only costs me 2-3 dollars to fill up the tank(1.1 gal) and I get 117 miles on each tank. I haven't ridden in about 9 months due to health issues, but I can't wait to get back on!
The Honda Elite 80 would be worth looking into if you want a bit more speed.
The Honda Elite 150 can go up to 60-65mph, but I wouldn't feel comfortable with that on the highways(at least not in my area with the way people drive).
The Helix looks like it can accomodate two, and go highway speeds comfortably.
To get the right scooter for you, you have to think about what your needs and wants are. Are you going to use it for mostly fun rides around town? For quick errands? Daily? Weekly? Seasonally? Do you need storage space? Or will you just wear a backpack? Do you want a scooter that has space for a helmet underneath the seat or on the back? If so, do you want room for a full face helmet or half helmet? What speeds are you wanting to do when riding? Are you wanting to ride solo or be able to have someone else with you? Do you care about aesthetics at all? What are the laws in your state for scooters/motorcycle licenses(here, you don't have to have one for 50cc)? What price range do you want to spend on insurance? Is gas mileage important to you?
I was just looking at these,
Nelson Rigg CL-1060-ST Sport Touring Motorcycle Tail/Seat Bag https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00RGQ1PDC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_zg0UzbMHXVR31
Seems pretty nice but I think I'm going to get a hard case.
Hey guys I am looking for the best bang for my buck for luggage for my 2015 cbr 500r. Mainly looking for something suitable for day / weekend trips.
Was looking at this but may be a bit on the small side..

Tankbag. Coleman Magnetic Motorcycle Tank Bag https://www.amazon.com/dp/B006JMKLPM/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_PweOBbERNKCMA
I used that one. I just suggest cutting the handle off or else the plastic part will leave marks on the tank.
2012 DL650A owner here. The Suzuki version of the SW-Motech mounting racks that we have are actually not quite standard - at least, the trunk rack isn't. Suzuki modified it specifically because they don't want you to to be able to easily mount the box without buying it from Suzuki. Canadians got more color selection and the trunk came with the bike, not sold as a ridiculously overpriced after-purchase addon. Bastards. I just got one of these instead:

Way cheaper, only have to drill 1 hole in the adventure rack and you can attach the bestem rack with the hardware that's included. Super easy and sexy.
I have never seen anything like the rear tire backpack thingy, that's awesome. Looks like a Trasharoo if my google serves me?

Maybe something like this would fit? Would probably be a lot easier than trying to fit all your stuff into one backpack.
I modified a set of kolpin ATV mitts to use for the winters in NYC. I cut two holes in the top and screw the rearview mirrors through the mitts. This way they can't get stolen (lost a different pair less than 1 week after buying).
Before these I wore two sets of gloves and would still end up with numb hands by the end of my 30 minute commute home in the winter. Last winter with the mitts I rode throughout with just a single set of riding gloves.
Get a motorcycle and one of these:

I miss mine so much.
