Motorcycle touring is gaining in popularity, due to its relatively low cost and easy accessibility, with many modern motorcycles having excellent reliability, comfort, performance and longer fuel range, than motorcyclists have ever experienced before.

However motorcycle specific gear tends to be rather expensive and somewhat lacking in practical performance, So it’s easy to see how more affordable and durable gear options like some of the range of Adventure Kings gear can improve your motorcycle camping setup tenfold.

A motorcycle is much more limited in cargo capacity than a typical 4WD rig and just like with any camping setup, you have to weigh up the pro’s and cons of what gear is necessary and suitable for your motorcycle camping setup!

The first bit of kit you might want to look at is a Kings cooler bag, to stash your frozen sausages and a few sneaky cans of your favorite beverage in compact and versatile this is one of the most under rated bits of kit you could ever buy!

It’s also not often you’ll find yourself touring alone, so splitting larger group gear between your mates makes sense, and what better place to start than with Steel BBQ Plate to cook the snags over your campfire, and a good quality First aid kit like the Adventurer Rescue swag.

The most basic camping setup for your motorcycle touring rig would be as simple as strapping down a compact Adventure Kings Kwiky Single Swag.

The benefits of such a simple setup is you can unroll it insert the poles and you have a fully waterproof, insect proof place to sleep, that is also very comfortable no matter where you end up for the night and just like the original Swaggies of early days, you can stash all your spare clothing and other bits and pieces inside to keep them dry and safe inside the waterproof canvas and waterproof PVC base.

Another excellent addition to any motorcycle tourers arsenal is a good LED Lighting, this can be as simple as a battery powered Illuminator LED Head Torch or Illuminator 24 LED Worklight all the way up to 12v bike powered systems, like an Illuminator MAX 1.3m LED Light.

The more powerful and water resistant, Illuminator MAX 1.3m LED Light system includes 5m of extension lead and battery alligator clips, which you can attach directly to your bike battery for a few hours of bright (dimmable) night time lighting. However, without a large battery or dual battery system, don’t be tempted to leave it on much longer than you need, you may end up staying at camp for longer than anticipated with a flat battery

And any long-distance motorcycle tourer worth their salt wouldn’t be caught dead bump starting their pride and joy after foolishly draining their battery overnight. plus the added hassle anyone riding on sports bike tyres will know,  it isn’t much fun trying to bump start on grass or dirt!

This is why an Adventure Kings 120W Portable Solar Blanket is the perfect solution to a  flat AGM bike battery, with the ability to charge your phone and digital camera’s via USB and top up your bike battery with Alligator clip connections and it’s automatically regulating PWM circuit

The 120W Portable Solar Blanket will generate up to 7.4 amps in good sunlight and update you with exactly how many volts are being read at your battery, it will also automatically cut out charge when your battery voltage has reached its peak. The Adventure Kings 120W Portable Solar Blanket is a compact 40cm x 40cm size and comes in a handy carry bag with all the accessories you need to get powered up.

With all the great value practical gear from 4WD Supacentre there is no reason that you can’t kit out your motorcycle touring setup for less with gear from Adventure Kings.
