Practical motorcycle: sports bags like the interior of suitcases!

If a pair of side cases or a top case makes it easier to load the motorcycle on vacation, you still need to make sure these accessories are waterproof. The neater ones put their clothes in trash bags, but this is not the most chic. Internet users have noticed that well-chosen sports bags can help ...

Equipping a motorcycle for recreation for two requires a minimum investment. But informed travelers always scrutinize good plans: that's how we noted this trick when we checked out the Maxitest Moto-Station. Something confirmed in several motorcycle touring forums. The suitcases and panniers found on some road bikes, even GTs, aren't always perfectly waterproof. In any case, joints inevitably begin to show signs of fatigue with age. While it is sometimes possible to "re-inflate" these seals - by bombarding them with silicone spray, for example - or replace them, many motorcycle travelers opt for truly waterproof trash bag protection: effective, but not the most elegant! Others use airtight bags that can be suction sealed: the space savings are drastic, but it is often necessary to have a household vacuum cleaner on hand or opt for special bags that are emptied by hand.

Finally, there is a range of interior bags specially designed for these suitcases and top cases. They are often waterproof, ideal for saddlebags, but the price is usually low, especially for seasonal use. Some Internet users, including those involved in contributing to the Maxitest Moto-Station database, recommend using public gym bags. Less than 10 often sold? for containers of about 30 liters, they effectively protect your personal belongings from possible water penetration. Polyester materials often do well in wet conditions, and some bags even have a storage lid to avoid unnecessary clutter. A good plan for overland travel for an inexpensive price!
