Past the Pavement with Brady
United States
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 8 พ.ย. 2023
Welcome to my world of two-wheeled adventures!
My motorcycling journey began shortly after I was old enough to drive. I started on street bikes and landed on adventure bikes. Now I have well over 100,000 miles of riding experience in a little under a decade. When you ride that much, you get a taste of what works and what doesn't when it comes to motorcycles, luggage, gear, and best practices.
I spend hours meticulously selecting my gear, my bikes, and my setups and routines, and I'm excited to bring what I've learned to the table and have that conversation with all of you! Join me as I (figuratively AND literally) unpack the gear I've acquired and routines I've developed as my riding career has matured.
We'll be riding, MotoCamping, and reviewing gear near the Ozark Mountains on a Honda CRF250L and a Honda Africa Twin 1100. Tune in to traverse the saturated market of motorcycles and motorcycle accessories with me.
Gear up and ride on! The path beyond the pavement is waiting!

$300!? Is the Mosko Moto Nomax V3 Worth the Price?
มุมมอง 13K11 หลายเดือนก่อน
In this video, we'll explore Mosko Moto's flagship tank bag: the Nomax V3. This bag packs a punch with a variety of purpose-built features. Top-notch organization, integrated water storage, backpack conversion straps, and some extensive compartmentalization make this bag so awesome... but is it worth the high price...? This will be the last tank bag I buy for a long time. Is it because it's jus...

That's the Nelso. Riggbag I have, RG-1055... It's the perfect size for the bike, about $150 at Nelson Rigg. You can also get a Rain Cover for the trail bag we are talking about; CL-1060ST/ST2-RC is the item number at Nelson Rigg, and it is about $18.
That's a lot of redundancy. I think a two piece t handle with a few sockets/bits and a couple wrenches for high torque stuff like axles and like two adjustable wrenches would do fine at like half the weight.
nice kit. Thanks for the video.
noce review, thanks
Could you do an in-depth rig walkaround of your bike? I am looking into the hobby and would like to learn more about yours.
Great vid thanks
I would buy this if it was designed as a tail bag. What tail bag are you currently running on your AT? I have the same bike.
Good overview and a pretty complete set. I’d add some nitrile gloves, some gorilla tape and maybe a small roll of 1mm steel wire.
so is it worth the price?
My new bike has a rally raid tail rack. Can you imagine any way to quick release the Nelson Rigg Adventure tailback on my rack, perchance?
The front end of the africa twin looks so corny, the wheel just sticks out too far or something
Anyone fit this on a Honda cb500x? I'm not sure about the size.
Hand sanitizer and chapstick? ..is that a bit … “limp dick.?”
Great quality content! Keep going, you definitely got the recipe to have a successful channel.
😅 agreed, glad I found this guy. Just got a bike, this is golden.
Nice
No not worth $ 550 here in Australia…. Yes looking at the bag it was perfect for what I’m looking for, but yeah no. $550 is criminal. For a bag design that’s been around for the last 10 years that they just put tank straps on to make it worse it’s not even waterproof/ weather proof. Even looking at using that $310 with exchange rate. It’s about $440 aus.
Good video bro lil tip lose the rear tube unless your on a trek with no homebase you can use the font tube for front and rear in a pinch
Great video man. Really surprised to see you don’t have at least 10k subs!
Mosko Moto gear is second to none. Their customer service is exceptional. I had a warranty issue, and they went beyond what I expected. Thanks for sharing.
Nice kit. How much weight is your tool kit and accessories? Thanks!
I saw people carrying a 10-15 cm long, 10-15mm thick screw, to mount it with zip ties or hose ties to broken clutch or break or gear leavers…😉
A simple 12V power tester: 2 1m wires soldered to a little 12V light bulb.
You’re definitely well prepared 🙂However I’d be interested what it weighs altogether. I try to keep weight down, but still be reasonably comprehensive - and I do that by doing all maintenance with that one toolkit. But I only have just enough spanners, Allen keys, etc to fix most stuff. Over time you see what is excess, and take it out. Also always think weight - a small plastic hand pump will inflate a tube tyre just fine. I do carry excess zip-ties, tape and tie wire, plus some jb weld. A 21” tube can be shoved into an 18” wheel in a pinch too, so you only really need to carry one tube and heavy duty tubes in the tyres very rarely fail anyway. Anyway - good video and great range of tools
That wouldn't happen to be an ALTRIDER sidestand, would it?
What a wonderful review. Thanks for this! I had one question - I run a KTM 390 Adv on most days. Would it be too large for that bike? Otherwise I am absolutely sold on the Nomax. Seems to be a well thought & engineered bag.
15:45 What was that? Sasquatch, wendigo, skin walker or a pokemon? Btw, my tool kit is an epipen and a spot messenger. 😊
Great video. Thanks for it, it really help me to make my choice.
The brass one was definitely a gag gift.
Any product from Mosko is the best bar none. Super great people. They truly care about our community.
I'm sure they do care a lot, you keep going the shit tons of money for glorified back packs!
Just curious. Storing your tire tubes is it a good idea to put a little of baby power from chafing. Good idea or not?
It IS a great idea. Otherwise it will start to stick and the rubber will get deformed.
Great took kit. My tool kit was born from my first flat on a tube tire, and a 300 tow home.
I love my Starbucks instant!
Man their stuff is expensive... but man it's really good.
Its colour matches your bikes colour scheme
For me, that's an easy,,,, no. The Tusq $75 one holds your crap just fine, and puts crap ton more miles in your tank, beers in your belly, and a v-day gift for your gf,,,, yeah, that's coming right up. I bought a mm tank bag for the fit, and promptly returned it. It wasn't the size stated, way overengineered for a "bag", and so many pockets no way I could remember which one I put shit in. Yeah, very nicely made, and great people, but squarely marketing to the mosko moto gucci crowd.
Oh man "Giant Loop" products look like crap. Oh I'm sure they function fine but they get no points for design or style. God-dam they are ugly. I have mosko moto gear on 3 of my bikes. I drove 5,000 miles from Beaumont, TX to Montana last summer with all Mosko gear. One word, perfect. I bought the tank bag he has and a whole 40L rackless system for my KTM500 EXCF with their pico tank bag. I like their shit and I like it a lot. Foock that ugly-ass giant loop crap.
Great Video
Happy Belated Birthday Brady. Great video.
By far the simplest and possibly even the best method I've found after over 30 years doing this, 23 of them in the British Army, is with just a simple strainer, MSR Mugmate or similar. Very quick and easy to use, very easy to clean, way lighter than anything else, no waste other than grounds, cheap and nothing to brake. tried a few other things in the last few years, Aeropress is a great product, got a WACACO Pipamoka Portable Coffee Maker thinking it might be good, but just way too much faff, difficult to clean and the coffee at the end isn't better than a simple pour-over. As someone who likes to travel ultralight I might be being swayed here by my gram counting addiction, but generally the simplest solution is the best one. Thanks for the film, great watch. Mike
That’s on my list of the next few things to try! Also, I just got a friend a pipamoka for Christmas, and we tried it out, and I thought it was delicious. Mostly, I just thought it was neat to see a company create a “new” way to make coffee. I’m excited to try out some new ways to make coffee, including what you mentioned.
@@PastthePavementwBrady the pipamoka works great, it's just difficult to clean if you have minimal water - defo the thing I love about the Aeropress is how easy it is to clean, get a metal filter and you then have no waste, so easy to dispose of the grinds. The mug that comes with the Pipamoka is awesome, it's now my go-to trail mug if I'm making coffee on the trail. I always take a thermal mug with a proper sealable lid so I can make one for the road, and the wide neck means my filter fits in it nice. I really liked the collapsable mug you used, far more practical looking than those horrible wide-neck ones from S2S. Firemaple isn't as easily available here in the UK but I found another company that did the same thing, so many thanks for that tip!
This is soooo helpful man. Thanks!!
That’s awesome! I’m glad the video can help some folks out!
I’m a Mosko fanboy, and I had the V2. I sold it though, because it felt like it was overdesigned. Too many layers, zippers, pockets, etc. made for a lot of fiddling with things when used regularly. I ended up going back to my Hood tank bag. I want to love the bag because it does so many things, but I think the problem might be is that it does so many things.
You definitely have to get into a kind of rhythm when you use it, and it’s easy to overpack it. I keep all of the stuff I *might* need in the pocket with all of the organizers. It’s a good spot for things like chargers and things you might carry just in case. And then the main pocket is usually open for carrying larger items or stuff I might need to access often. It can be a pain, but when on longer trips (especially camping), it’s nice to know I have everything I need and also to know where it is without having to dig around a whole bunch.
Mosko makes nice stuff but pricey.. I like the color but that bag looks completely out-of-place on your AT, it doesn’t match the camel hump tank geometry and sits too far rearward. No map window is a deal breaker for a tank bag. I do like it double duties as a backpack..
That’s an interesting observation, and I understand what you’re saying. I think the best fitting bag for the AT is the OEM Honda bag, but because it focuses so much on matching the exact shape, it compromises a lot on space. Regardless, fitment was definitely a concern of mine when ordering this bag, and from a practical standpoint, it seems to fit on the bike just fine. They do sell a map pocket that attaches to the top, but I have never found myself in need of a paper map, so I haven’t got it.
Absolutely not way to large why do you top heavy the bike when you do not need too.
It’s a good way to move stuff from a pannier rack or tail rack closer to the front of the bike. Sure, weighting the top of the bike is not ideal, but I prefer adding weight there than putting even more weight out back over the back tire. This keeps the weight of your daily carry and water between the axles.
So the algorithm presented me with your video tonight. I have the same bike and same tail bag. I guess you might say we are “Africa Twinning” 😂. Nice review though. I’ve been pretty happy with mine over the last few months that I’ve had it on my bike. Happy New Year. Cheers.
Haha that’s great! It’s been a great bag, and I like it a lot! And it gets a lot of attention on this channel, so I thought it would be good to do a video on it!
Rain cover can double as a dust cover (IMHO). Helps keep dust from clogging the zippers and prevents the inside from getting dusty.
That’s a good point. I find that the raincover is kind of a pain to get in and out of, so I only put it on when I really need too, but it sounds like I should loosened my definitely of what it means to “need” to put it on.
I have an AT with a V1 Nomad (before the Nomax). My biggest complaint is the size- you can’t properly stand over the bike. I’ve been wearing as backpack more and more.
I don’t find that it gets in my way all that much, but when the water bladder is in it, sometimes the hose does. It is a large bag though. Definitely couldn’t put anything bigger up there.
If you like using it as a backpack, the V3 is a good upgrade. The straps are way better on it.
In the toolbox on my bike I carry bits, wrenches, sockets and a t-handle. In my tank bag I have a screwdriver and 5” vise grip. My Mosko Moto rackless bags have larger tools to remove both wheels and repair the tires. Make sure you test out your tool kit before you get stuck. Practice changing a tube with what you have on the bike
Great point! I think it’s a great idea to try to do some jobs with your toolkit in the garage before believing that it’s as comprehensive as it needs to be. I actually find myself using my kit at home more than I find myself reaching for tools in my toolbox. Except for tire work… I always opt for the more convenient tire tools when I’m in the garage.
@@PastthePavementwBrady I had my front wheel off the other day. Checking bearings and brake pads. Disassembled just with the tools in my kit. Because I was in the garage I have a torque wrench for assembly.
Cut about 6-7” off of the hose or to where it’s about an inch from the second clip and remove the last clip off of the bottom of the bag. Huge upgrade as far as interference when standing.
That’s a great suggestion! I haven’t brought myself to actually modify the hose yet, but I do feel like as far as interference when standing goes, the hose is the main perpetrator.
Excellent job, and stick with it! As u know or not Dork in the road took 6 years to hit 100k , you have the personality to do this...the one thing I added beyond yours is a amazing heat handing silicone monster like tape..hard to find but great...and a tip to others : if you wrap painters tape first onto your tools then you can add, duct or electrical tape.. way easier ...cheers
Thanks so much! That means a lot! Did I see you lurking in the Dork in the Road livestream Friday night? I feel like I saw your name in the chat!
You can find sump plug kits in automotive spares/tools suppliers, these have a selection of drivers for various sump plugs, usually there is a 14mm & a 17mm hex, I use this for the front axle on my Honda with the adjustable spanner. I also only carry the motion pro type tyre levers with the adapters for 32,27 & 24mm spindle nuts. Both these are a fair but lighter than 1/2" drive sockets and steel tyre levers. Finally solder has an L in it 😅 That was a good breakdown of a usable tool kit, thankyou. (I carry way to much stuff 😀)
Thanks for the info! I’ll have to check those out because the half inch drive socket business is a heavy one! I knew that about solder, but I’ve always heard it pronounced sod-er. Maybe it’s just a lazy Midwest accent. 😂
