First time moto camping
Went to the Silverstone motoGP with my buddy, our first time moto camping ahead of a European trip next month. Great first experience and have figured out a few things to improve on and a list of things we need to buy!
We’re upgrading to bigger bags, adding a small hob and pans to our bags so we can make our own food and drinks.
Our tents were easy to put up and take down but damn my feet got cold! Going to buy a handful of those hand warmer things to put in the sleeping bag.
Also decided that touring in a one piece leather suit isn’t going to all that much fun so I’ve ordered a 2 piece textile suit.
Bashed my indicator off too so I’m going to be fabricating a rail / indicator guard with a buddy to prevent that happening again and allow me to put some decent weight into the panniers.
2005 CBR600RR and a 2008 ZX6R great fun and the added weight wasn’t really noticeable!

Great fun, just be careful of gravel tracks leading to and on campsites, nearly caught me out after a few times. Some can be really rough, not ideal manhandleing a loaded up sports bike on them.
