Another subject you should cover is non-motorcycle clothing and laundry. I use to backpack a lot and that was one subject I find no one covers. My first time I over packed clothing and 3 months later realized I was carrying stuff I still hadn't worn. People should know how little you really need to carry.
This is my dream to drive around the world using a motorcycle go to different places but the reality of life strikes me money and family need to support maybe someday even in a simp lies way i can achieve my dream thank you for the videos you upload and the adventure and tips more power and keep safe ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻
I'm a fellow TH-camr, recently subscribed. I've really enjoyed following yours and ItchyBoots travels, taking me places I'll never visit. I have a serious heart condition and came back to the bike a couple of years ago. I now ride a Monster 1200R. Keep up the great work Kinga andi hope to see you riding again soon once Corona has passed.
Hi, Kinga. Thank you! Your videos really make this quarentine less boring. The adventure is fantastic and I'm sure that you've been inspiring lots of bike lovers. In this "how to prepare" episodes, please show your camping gear and how do you pack them. All the best!
Hey 👋 not sure if your going to see this lol but I recently just found your channel and I love it, it's awesome to see all the country side and ppl from all walks of life that you run into. My question is how long did you save up to travel and stay traveling for undetermined amounts of time?. I noticed you camp alot rather than staying in hotels or cabins so you are on a budget or you seem to be, anyway love the channel and your doing awesome 👌 you just need 1 more thing a cooler full of beer 🍺 for finishing those long rides. cheers!!!
Why is that in such an important topic you haven't mentioned your camera gears? Those along with the camera accessories are equally critical for such vlogs. You had covered all the important areas for making the journeys but left out the ones that too are crucial for making such amazing videos.
Have you ever read "One Man Caravan " about someone going around the world on his bike in the 1920's? It's a very good read. One of those books you can read over again.
tim johnson .....thanks for this. My favourite so far is “Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance”. In the 1920’s....omg...what the world was like then, you were really on your own ......check out the movie “The Sheltering Sky” ....Debora Winger, Jon Malkovich. filmed early 90’s......Ca 1930, two couples off the beaten track, Middle East, one woman ends up alone early on.....
Greetings from the US, east coast, New England, specifically New Hampshire! When are you coming to the US?? Probably not a challenge for you....LOL! Great videos, what an adventure, lots of info. Surprised that you didn't mention anything about carrying a first aid kit. I carry one all the time, never know what could happen, and with the type of riding you do, in the areas you are, I would think that would be mandatory!
3 things. I believe you have an engineering back round no? I also carry some duct tape and mechanic's wire. Last "regardless" not "ir-regardless". Cheers
The best compilation of relevant advice, tips and know hows ever! I enjoyed both part 1 and part 2 very much. Awesome tip of a spare clutch cable readily installed and also enjoyed your sharing of your tools and gear that you use. Awesome awesome awesome!
Greetings from 🇨🇦 Learning a ton from you, - ty! What helped you decide on what bike to choose for your adventures and why did you change from the flip up style helmet to the current style? Keep the shiny side up and stay safe!!
love it, lots of information and followed you for sometime, your channel gives me some ideas for my own small channel, ride safe and wish you health and happiness
From Portugal and North of Lisbon where I am living, I am a follower of 100% of their posts / videos I do not miss any. Here are my congratulations for the boldness, congratulations for the desire for adventure, congratulations for the explanations and teachings and for everything that transmits to us, a great determination and a great desire to live. I would like to ask you if you can answer me if it is in your plans to go through Mozambique, South Africa and go up to Angola. If you pass, I intend to tell you if you want some beautiful places that you will love in Angola where I lived 20 years of my youth and where I still have friends. Thank you very much for the opportunity that offers us to see such beautiful landscapes. May everything go as you wish, have a very good trip, with the calm of a traveler, enjoying the beautiful pleasures of life, take care, good luck.
Hi Kinga, you asked for questions - I would like to know about your communications. As you know in Australia there are lots of places with no mobile phone coverage. I expect the same would be true elsewhere in the world too. If you were to have a mechanical or medical problem where there is no-one around for days, that could become serious very quickly. Do you carry a satellite phone? PLB device? Something else?
Hi Kinga! Well, first of all - You're an absolute Star, with cojones larger than my fist (and I have big hands)!! ;) I hear you're in Poland at the mo, so I was wondering if you'd find some time to swing (pun unintended) by my neck of the woods, and come visit me on your way at some point. I'm a biker myself ( I've owned, among others - CB500, BMW650GS, Kawasaki Versys, BMW1200GS, and now 1988 Honda Africa Twin), and it would be absolutely lovely to pick your brains on your travels, and other bits and bobs related to your lifestyle. I've lived half of my life abroad (incl. a year down under), and always aspired to do exactly what you're doing. I am now getting the bike ready, so it's just a matter of time (and the current situation, of course...). Give us a shout if you'd be interested in that; I'm located near Nowy Sącz, and have a house near Jezioro Rożnowskie, where I live with my cat. Either way, safe riding, and, again - ALL MY RESPECT !!! Darek
Well done Kinga! I run the C Bow- Hepco Becker system, which I've used on 3 bikes now. Obviously the brackets are unique. I love them for the same reason's as yourself plus you're not overloading the bike & less weight the hard panniers. Mine probably not big enough for your type of travelling though. There were quite a few upgrades to the BMW. I had not upgrades but accessories I needed to add to my Ducati Scrambler to bring it up to spec for any sort of comfortable touring. Previously I had a Himalayan which although a bit heavy for a 411 cc and not overly powerful, in terms of a complete set up which is very useable as is without spending a lot of money on it, they are brilliant. Highly highly underrated. Thanks for sharing your video-
Love your channel and follow you since your travels in Australia. I only have to say that I had a very bad experience with Forma boots. Cheers from Perú.
Another remarks who made the sucess of your movies, for a french, It's very easy to understand you when you speak in english (same for Lyndon Poskitt), less in polish...
I love so much your adventures. Ten years a go I had a very bad crash. Till now I can't recuperate my mobility/motricity. And could not ride a heavy bike any more. I hope, before I pass away, to ride once more , even if it just a little trip around my country ( Morocco). Wish you the best for your adventures. Ride safe. You surely inspire many peoples to go on adventure. Thank you for sharing with us, what you live during your trips. Sorry for my bad English. ✌🤘
@@onherbike thank you so much. My best wishes for your coming adventures. May God the Powerful, protect you and makes your adventure's dreams realized. ✌✌✌
You are quite interesting indeed and very fun to follow. I love the comment where you specify that even as influencer, you must remain straight, true and honest with the comments on gears or anything else. I feel you are such a women; A TRUE PERSON. it shows in all of your videos and this is what keeps me interested. one of the comment, by JUST IN, says he noticed the camel gas tank. I did too but mostly, I noticed your freshly colored hair at 17:35 which look more of cinder than ''blonde'''. Stay safe and keep entertaining us !
Huge respect, Kinga! I would probably never dare to go to many places you went. Stay safe and healthy. Happy Easter! @21:30 totally agree! An good off-road training on your bike ( the one you are riding ) gives you idea what you and your bike can really do. And what you can't ;). You will be amazed! This will give you knowledge and confidence. You will be less stressed => less tense => you will fall less often. :) Many major motorist associations offer trainings - check in your area.
Hi Kinga my Wife and I find your videos very cool! We are also big motorcycle Riders I ride a R1200RT and she a F700GS we ride aprox 30.000 km in a Year! I would like to ask you how many Km dose chilli have! Maybe we meet someday in Stuttgart Germany where we live or Cluj-Napoca Romania 🙂 from where we are!! Greetings, Oana and Sorin
Can you talk about all the stuff that you are carrying? how much clothes would you recommend? How do you manage laundry? Would you recommend a bigger bike? a 1200 GS perhaps? Any country specific challenges?
Yo Kinga you certainly have given us some sound advice flower 💐 on your video’s one n two ( excellento ). Your very fun loving and have a natural ability to communicate wi other people, good on ya 😁. You can even be crazy 😜 sometimes ha har but hay it brings a little light heartedness to life as there’s a lot of negativity going on in the world 🌎, keep it up 👍 girl yr doing great Chuckee. XX 🤠🤗✊🤸♀️🤸♂️🙏🌈
Hey lady, thank you,You are super cool. Thanks for making such a informative video more than all you are so genuine,honest and your open to share all your information in social media in a simple and brilliant way.... you look very stylish .. especially those dancing moments and while throwing things around...hahaha...keep going smart lady...
Hi Kinga! Happy Easter! I hope this note finds you both happy and healthy. I am just getting back into motorbikes. I love your videos. I liked the walk around and the tips. I also noticed the zip ties easily accessible. And the hammer! I s’pose that’s dual purpose - tires and self defense? I think the clothing issue is confusing me the most. Boots are pretty straight forward. The jackets, pants, gloves, and layering? The prices vary greatly. Do you wear a waterproof jacket and pants or do you carry a rain shell for rain? What would recommend for layering? Best!
Kinga, excellent video, very enlightening, helped me a lot. A can't stop watching your videos, they are wonderful. Thak's. I'm Brasilian. Sorry my English no so good. I hope for more videos.
Witam Pani Kingo... Bardzo dobry materiał bardzo przydatne wskazówki... Pełen Szacunek. Sam jestem motocyklistą i jeżdżę gdzie się da i kiedy się da. Fakt teraz zaraza która nas dotknęła czyli covid-19 przystopowała wszystkie moje plany miały być Bieszczady w czerwcu w sierpniu Rumunia ale trzeba to wszystko będzie przełożyć góry zostaną tam gdzie stoją więc nie ma problemu problem jaki jest dla mnie to czas. Rodzina Praca itp... Myślę że jeszcze dużo km przed nami czego Pani życzę. Sam próbuje coś tam wrzucać amatorsko na Yt ale trochę to takie dziwne😀 Nie nie chce zaistnieć ale kiedyś może dzieciaki czy wnuki popatrzą co to znaczy turystyka motocyklowa. Pozdrawiam i szerokosci🤟
Allo from Canada 🇨🇦 Thank a lot for thé information… i am planning à trip from Montreal to Yukon next year and thinking of riding North road as possible… Question, Is there any MAJOR changes on you’re list, since it done more than a year go… Thank you,
Hi Kinga, my admiration for what you are doing and I really admire you. I am from Bulgaria, and if your path ever brings you here, you can count on support. Greetings
A suggestion for you, and anyone else riding the the third world, and your bike does NOT have a catalytic converter, if you get a chance to get some aviation gas [100LL] at an airport, carry a few liters in a spare can as if end up somewhere where you can only get say 80 octane (or lower) fuel, as say from a farmer who has some for his 60 year old 6:1 compression ratio farm tractor, mixing it with 1/3 Avgas will make a fuel that your bike can safely burn. The manufacture's recommended minimum octane requirement is for sea level, you can generally drop it about a point for each 750 meters (2500 ft) in elevation you are riding.
You should add the smallest pair of micro grip mini vise grips and a safety link for your chain. Rubber boots for front forks. I did a bit of traveling in the late 1970's, JB Weld epoxy and cable ends with set screw comes in handy too. Never clean sheilds with paper towels....they scratch them. Always replaced my headlight bulbs with off road higher wattage ones. They always state not for highway use, but never had anyone check them.
Such a helpful video Kinga, thanks for your input, definitely will apply several of the tips you gave us... Looking forward to see your adventures again!
I'd recommend adding a pair of ViseGrips to your tool kit. They have many uses. Clamp, wire cutter, shift lever, ... If you ever run over the wire left from a burnt tire it will wrap around the axle so tight it will stall the bike. Very difficult to remove. I also carry a metal cutting and wood cutting Sawzall blade and you can use the ViseGrips for a handle.
Probably your well aware already but evacuation from Africa might be coming due to the corona virus.... Itchy boots was evacuated from Peru just yesterday... Good luck to you..
Inspiring that is for sur and needless to say, I do not miss any of your youtub Vid…now, can I ask you how much weight you carry, I mean all you Camp Gear, Riding Gear, clothes, Food Tools, Etc ???
First and foremost, I have to thank you for all your hard work in producing such great content. My question for you has to do with your navigation. You mentioned previously that you broke your phone, and that your Garmin(?) wasn't working. How many redundant systems do you carry? Second question, if it is not too personal. You quite often say you have long legs, etc.. How tall are you? I am 1.95m and almost 110 kg, and I find it a lot of work to handle my KTM 1290, so I was just looking for some perspective.
Kinga Ty musisz być dziewczyna z Mazur :-P ... ja się niedawno kapnąłem, że Ty jesteś z Polski. Podziwiam Cię ! Może kiedyś razem pojedziemy gdzieś. Who knows
Thank you for the great tips, you have an awesome channel! I'm planning for one in the near future. I've done a couple of local adventures and prefer the soft luggage as you mentioned, I can't agree more. Perhaps you can add another tip to answer this question: Where do you pack your electronics with the soft luggage?
I think she packs it in the tank bag. That`s what i would do, its the safer place in my opinion and most of times you kind of use electronic stuff a lot so it is easy to reach in font of you :)
Good Job Bridgestone for sponsoring Kinga! Bridgestone tires really are a great tire in all weather conditions! I highly recommend the Bridgestone Battlax Hypersport S20 tire for a sportbike!
Did not see a single First Aid Kit in Part 1 and Part 2 of all that you carry on your bike, I assume and hope you do carry them and if so, what are the items of First Aid Kit that you take with you on your bike?
What do you do with all the expensive gear you buy when you are done the trip? Would you know any motorbike second hand online store or what not...? :)
Awesome idea to have that spare clutch cable pre installed!!!
Another subject you should cover is non-motorcycle clothing and laundry. I use to backpack a lot and that was one subject I find no one covers. My first time I over packed clothing and 3 months later realized I was carrying stuff I still hadn't worn. People should know how little you really need to carry.

it takes minimum 6 weeks to get Tires from Germany to South Africa. DHL told me 12 days...hahhahhahhaha...
Great idea with the clutch cable and the fuel tank. Kinga thanks for sharing
The clutch cable thing is such a good idea!! 👌👌👌
Doubling up the clutch cable is an amazing idea that's something i will do on my tiger 800
Brilliant solution!
really a nice idea !!!!!!
You can put a chain joiner link on your cable as well so you have a spare link
Agree, great tip!
Truly. Great idea!
aap ek symbol of knowledge hai jiske anusharan ki jrurat hai your video very charming

Keep the shiny side up and stay safe!!
Good questions! I'll cover that in next video 😁
I would agree 100% Forma boots are the best boots
love it, lots of information and followed you for sometime, your channel gives me some ideas for my own small channel, ride safe and wish you health and happiness

Hi Kinga,
you asked for questions - I would like to know about your communications.
As you know in Australia there are lots of places with no mobile phone coverage.
I expect the same would be true elsewhere in the world too.
If you were to have a mechanical or medical problem where there is no-one around for days, that could become serious very quickly.
Do you carry a satellite phone?
PLB device?
Something else?
Roger that! It's a very good question, I'll include this topic in next video.
Hi Kinga! Well, first of all - You're an absolute Star, with cojones larger than my fist (and I have big hands)!! ;)
I hear you're in Poland at the mo, so I was wondering if you'd find some time to swing (pun unintended) by my neck of the woods, and come visit me on your way at some point.
I'm a biker myself ( I've owned, among others - CB500, BMW650GS, Kawasaki Versys, BMW1200GS, and now 1988 Honda Africa Twin), and it would be absolutely lovely to pick your brains on your travels, and other bits and bobs related to your lifestyle.
I've lived half of my life abroad (incl. a year down under), and always aspired to do exactly what you're doing. I am now getting the bike ready, so it's just a matter of time (and the current situation, of course...).

If you ever run over the wire left from a burnt tire it will wrap around the axle so tight it will stall the bike. Very difficult to remove. I also carry a metal cutting and wood cutting Sawzall blade and you can use the ViseGrips for a handle.
Probably your well aware already but evacuation from Africa might be coming due to the corona virus.... Itchy boots was evacuated from Peru just yesterday... Good luck to you..
Very detailed advice. Thank you for sharing your experience. Greetings from Portugal.
Inspiring that is for sur and needless to say, I do not miss any of your youtub Vid…now, can I ask you how much weight you carry, I mean all you Camp Gear, Riding Gear, clothes, Food Tools, Etc ???

Well Explained, you are welcome to our country in Bangladesh.
First and foremost, I have to thank you for all your hard work in producing such great content. My question for you has to do with your navigation. You mentioned previously that you broke your phone, and that your Garmin(?) wasn't working. How many redundant systems do you carry? Second question, if it is not too personal. You quite often say you have long legs, etc.. How tall are you? I am 1.95m and almost 110 kg, and I find it a lot of work to handle my KTM 1290, so I was just looking for some perspective.
Very informative content, and very practically too. Keep it up motorcycle traveler guru ❤️. Salute from Dubai
So, from BMW motor bike, you just bought the bmw sticker, and the rst of the bike is a mix of honda, yamaha, kawasaki, susuki. Blimey

Having double clutch cable i think its very helpful.esp for long ride and the other thing is

Kinga Ty musisz być dziewczyna z Mazur :-P ... ja się niedawno kapnąłem, że Ty jesteś z Polski. Podziwiam Cię ! Może kiedyś razem pojedziemy gdzieś. Who knows
You looks like a Finnish popstar called Anna Puu :) maybe your hairstyle. Take a look pictures about her in google.
Hi everyone, do u know how tall kinga is? I'm 1.55 tall , what do you recommend me?
Thank you for the great tips, you have an awesome channel! I'm planning for one in the near future. I've done a couple of local adventures and prefer the soft luggage as you mentioned, I can't agree more. Perhaps you can add another tip to answer this question: Where do you pack your electronics with the soft luggage?
I think she packs it in the tank bag. That`s what i would do, its the safer place in my opinion and most of times you kind of use electronic stuff a lot so it is easy to reach in font of you :)
Good Job Bridgestone for sponsoring Kinga! Bridgestone tires really are a great tire in all weather conditions! I highly recommend the Bridgestone Battlax Hypersport S20 tire for a sportbike!
Hi and congratulations! Do you use moose in your tires? If you come by La Paz, Bolivia please come visit.
Ciekawy jestem Twojego zdania w jednej kwestii- stabilizator karku, co myślisz o jego używaniu przy jeździe szosowej? :) Pozdrawiam ;)
Very interesting to watch your you Tube channel

Did not see a single First Aid Kit in Part 1 and Part 2 of all that you carry on your bike, I assume and hope you do carry them and if so, what are the items of First Aid Kit that you take with you on your bike?
