All the gear

When we set off on a trip, no matter how long, we take some sort of kit with us.  Traveling on a motorbike involves a lot of kit, especially if you plan to stay out over night, or if your riding in a place where help is very limited.  Below is some of the kit I never leave home without:

Garmin Zumo with Middle East mapping. Great on and off-road.
Used with the Garmin BaseCamp App.
Garmin Foretrex 401.  Normally for walking but very useful to
check nav and record waypoints.

Drift Ghost HD video camera & remote control.
Normally mounted on my helmet (with mic) or fog light.


North Face "Gulper" day sack.  It carries 2l of water, emergency food,
my lunch,  hat, spare goggles and other bits. 

Leatherman Wave.  Fantastic do-it-all multi-tool.
It goes everywhere with me.
Nokia.  Far more robust than a smart phone.
It only makes calls and send texts, what more do you need?

Real time GPS tracker with emergency SOS function.

There's more to it than that, but I know that as long as I'm on the bike and carrying this kit then if I break down or crash I can keep myself going until help arrives, and record the event to laugh at later.
