- I have lost a count how many times I've been asked what luggage do I use on my bag and how do I strap it on a Sportster.
All you possibly need to know about the motorcycle bags I use in this episode.

Thank you for showing not just the bags, but how you attach them to your motorcycle. This is the most important part!
That’s what I thought. Pointless to show the bags if you don’t see how the look on the bike, how much space they take, how long it takes to attach and take them off. And most important know how it is like to ride thousands miles with them.
@@tomboyabit subscribed! Thanks again.
Yep, you’re quite right. Made me smile about the psychology of packing…
Geez... Love this lady, she is soooo ready.
Неожиданно для меня - очень полезное видео! У меня совсем не такой мотоцикл, и на нём есть боковые кофры, но из видео я понял как мне лучше закрепить большую сумку за сиденьем пассажира. Благодарю! Лайк!
I remember those days that I packed many bags, then had to figure out where to attach, hang, or stuff onto my bike. Now I ride a 2019 Harley Tri-Glide Ultra. Those days are a worry of the past...now I have more then enough space to pack & store all my gear! 👊
Yeah but you have to ride a Harley lol rather take the bags.
Just came across this video and found it very helpful. Just bought a Kriega bag and now looking forward to using it. I’m intrigued to see what you actually pack in yours. I’m hoping to go motorcycle camping this year and think it will be super helpful and a great bag to use 😊
In the video I packet cushions of my sofa, but what I pack for a trip will be different from what normal people pack as the biggest part is filming and photography gear. 😳
Thanks for the video, enough there to convince me how to get ready for the next years adventures as been looking at various setups, take care and safe riding
My new internet 🥰 crush! Her smile is so infectious!
Cool video i use the 30 L with 11L on either side on my T700 kriega they are so good Happy riding
Great video. I'm hoping to get the same bike soon so happy to know to prepare for a trip
I like those bags for around town trips. Or if I am going to point A to point B and know that I won't me stopping much. But for international travel those bags have a huge problem, lack of security. Like you said, "clip, clip, clip" and your bags are off. Someone can steal your bags that fast. Like at a rest area where you might stop to use the restroom, or a restaurant when you stop to get something to eat. You must be able to keep an eye on the bike and never be far from it.
When I travel I often find myself stopping and exploring around. Like at a museum, a short hike, quick swim at a like or ocean, etc. I can't do that with those bags and not be worry sick that someone is going to walk away with my things. So for my international travel hard panniers that lock is the way to go.
Also, I think that those bags are good enough quality to work great on road trips. You have a cruiser so I doubt that you go to the type of places I go on my Yamaha Ténéré 700. When you are in a third world country and you must leave the pavement and hit the gravel roads, which sometimes can get a bit rough, I wonder how good those bags would hold up to that abuse?
In my next trip I'll be crossing all of America. Starting in the US and heading south through Mexico Central, and all the way to the most southern tip of America in Argentina, then back. That is 34,000-36,000 miles round trip. Then up through the US and up the Dalton highway to Dead Horse, to the most northern tip of the continent.that is another 7, 700 miles one way. I don't know if those bags could take that type of abuse. The last thing I need in a trip is to worry about my bags falling apart in the middle of no where.
The bags do look great for travelling.
I like how the smaller back locks to the top of the bigger bag 😎 . Well done getting your foot over the top of the bags to get off the bike lol
I like Kriega thoughtful system too. And I do train for that 😉
The new Kriega back packs are roll top & fully waterproof as well.
I put canvas and leather saddlebags from Longride in France or Belgium (great people, shipped very fast to US). Great little mounting system, I got two 7l bags, but they have a 16l or 17l and they have a waterproof liner available. I put them on my ‘21 Scout and love the look. Plus they are easily removable.
Me too, been using them for years never had a leak. I've got the 30l backpack as well which is waterproof and leave the mounting loops on the bike, brilliant system. The waist pack is good as well, I've got the little pouch that straps onto the rucksack strap it's really good for cards, cash, passport etc.
Thank you for backing up my review. And the pouch sounds like worth a try! I’ll check it out! 🙏🏻
Hello, I am a 58 year old traveler and I have traveled throughout South America I confess that I am a disaster to pack, I hope I have learned something about what to take or not to take on this type of trip, the next one will be from Bogotá to the north of Argentina In my r nine t urban gs, let me tell you that the narrative of your vlog is very rich in expressions and casual language, as well as we motorcyclists, that like a lot, greetings from Bogotá (Colombia)
Great video! I have the same two Kriega’s, and they’ve been amazing for 5 years now! Solid craftsmanship, never leak, well designed. I run mine longways, where I noticed you go sideways, but you have less room. I have a long Triumph Scrambler sear with a rack extension. Glad to see you out on long (and short) adventures! Stay safe! ~ Rawhide
Very cool. Doing a 8000klm trip on my 2016 iron. Here in Australia. The only concern is the distance between fuel stops. So running with a 6ltr fuel bladder. Destination Darwin northern territory. Woohoo.
Waw! How amazing! Envy your adventure! Seems we’ve been stuck locally for so long.
Fuel bladder is a good idea. I had a few moments when was making on a fumes and prayers and there is even an episode how I ran out of fuel in Germany and the lady with a knife was telling me directions. In German 😅
Have fun. And come back to tell me how it went 😍
Your riding outfit looks incredible. What kind of jacket and are those motorcycle denims? And the brand of boots?
Do you think you can do a video on your riding clothings you use? You have great taste!
Yes ! !
And what do you wear when the rain falls..
Looks like BodaSkins KAY MICHAELS, which is a normal leather jacket (no protectors)
Hey, thank you. Must be a degree in fashion that makes me put things together in matching ways.
I will do gear reviews too. Promise.
Meanwhile, in this video I’m wearing HD footwear Boots, normal Jeans that I’d wear with protective leggings when riding and Boda leather jacket, again would put a protective shell underneath for a ride. And I knitted my jumper myself 😉
@@trobin4629 I either get wet, or put a rainproof layer. Or wear rainproof jacket, gloves, boots. Haven’t found a nice pair of rainproof jeans 😒
@@chrizzzly_hh Yes you’re right. I’d wear it with an armour shell for a longer trips. Here, we were in a full lockdown still and I only ride only around the corner. Unfortunately.
I’m a Sportster fan, always thought they were super cool, the newer fat tire ones are awesome. I am 6’1” and ride a Busa, but I would own a Sporty.
PS. I would help you carry your luggage
Come to Florida!!!
I too use compartment and department interchangeably.
Very helpful as I need to bring cameras and laptop with me. I'll user your affiliate links when I'm set to purchase.
Same. One bag is full of gear 😅
Awesome vid, super informative, I guess the biggest challenge is when you have say a sports bike with no sissy bar, you are putting a load of confidence in the straps, I suppose you just need to be thorough and careful, kreiga stuff looks awesome ...... love your Instagram channel as well, Steve
I used Kriega without a sissy bar on other bikes. It holds really well. So as what I've heard from other riders.
I have 20+10+10 litre dry bags. I’ve used them on my CB500F and now my Z400 on multi day trips. I have the mounting straps/loops permanently fixed right to the subframe under the seat, tuck them away when not in use. Never had an issue, always feels nice and stable and attached 👌🏼
I'm one of 13000 ppl can't believe he just spent twenty minutes watching a girl strap bags on her Harley n doesn't think a second of it was a waste of time...lmao
😂😂
Have you thought of getting a Biltwell Exfil 80 to attach to your sissy bar?
love your stuff regards ant xx
Nice job packing,I have a quick detach rack/sissy bar but pack same.
It’s handy isn’t it? 👊
I have a Kriega back pack its a good thing. I like to travel light, real light. No snow where I am. Did ya get some free gear?
Awesome stuff again missy!!
🙏🏻 Thank you.
Thank you mamasita. Hello from Antigua Guatemala, OsoYolo.
Thanks for the amazing videos! I have a quick question regarding riding 2 up and having luggage attached to the rear of the sissy bar. Do you use a luggage rack or just rest the bag on the fender? I’m going away with my wife in the summer and I’m wanting to pack my bags in a similar way to how have when riding with your little dude 🤘
Thank you 🙏🏻 Very happy you found them useful. I did just rested it on a back fender. And had a back back too, what was useful for him to hold on.
Perfect thanks for the reply and keep making the videos 🔥
Say..haaai...Miss..tomboy...
Great video. I ride an Adventure bike and sometimes don't want to add all the aluminum panniers for a more sleek look. I think you've made my decision on soft bags a bit easier, thanks! I get on and off my bike like a horse cause I'm not as flexible as you lol.
Trere is a technique to seat on the bike not put your leg too high, just step not on the ground, but on the footpeg
Just found your channel and subscribed. Happy travels
Welcome to my channel ♥️
The Kriega drypack is great
However, the Kriega backpack is way too bulky and heavy by itself, let alone getting all ur stuff in there, very uncomfortable on long roadtrips
Thank you for the video my understanding is that straps are designed to be pulled in a straight line and I think crossing them will have less strength and will fatigue the stitching prematurely.
Also, can you tighten the frame straps all the way to the frame, or are the bag straps too short to reach? If so maybe you could loop 2 frame straps together and put them under your seat just sticking out slightly so you don't have to attach the frame straps every time. They can be semi permanent. It is shown like that in the kriega instructions also.
Finally, the Kriega bags are expensive but worth it. Have you found a cheaper place to buy them?
Thank you. Happy and safe riding.
Most bikes you can leave the straps on. On a Sportster, I didn’t find the way.
I bought mine on Amazon, because of a fuss free returns and fast delivery. Also didn’t find it anywhere significantly cheaper.
@@tomboyabit you can attach two straps together so that it looks like one strap with 2 loops l, one on each end, then put 2 of those under the seat with just the loop ends sticking out.
오토바이도 멋지지만 당신이 더 멋집니다 안전 라이딩 하세요~♡
430 pounds fo bags 😱 noooo !
from car boot army bag 70 liters - 20 pound aaaand let’s go 🏍😅! rest of the money 💰 spend on gas ,beer, steaks , lady’s 😆... 🤟 rocknroll 4 ever
I don’t drink, don’t eat steak and prefer man over the ladies. Quality bags I know will not fail. The rest of cash for a gas and I’m rocknroll. By the way I bough them one by one within a year or so, didn’t feel the price that badly.
@@tomboyabit u don’t eat steaks , don’t drink 😳 and you still alive .... holy Jesus it’s a miracle 😂 hallelujah 🙏)) !
have a nice day 🖤
When do you come to Poland? I would like to travel through Poland with you... sightseeing, landscaping, on bike....you are amazing woman))) I invite you.)))actually I begin my adventure with bike riding. Anyway, I wish you all the best...it seems pandemic time is behind us....for a while
Today I learned a new word. Sissy bar.
How did you call it?
cool, toptip skinny girl like you . can get of the bike by leaving your left foot on the footrest saves stretching .try it.
Una gran obra de ingeniería
Hi, I've only ridden with a back pack with a small amount of weight and found it affected my ride/handling, when you have the bike loaded like on your video do you find a lot of difference handling /wind buffeting?
Hi, yes it does effect your handling, acceleration and stopping time, cornering etc. But you adjust to it and learn. However that first ride afterwards without the luggage or a pillion is like you’ve jumped on a different bike.
Tour on a sporty. Hard core
かっこいいね！She is Like a cast of Mission impossible.
😃 I wish!
I love your motorcycle... Please can you post the picture of your bike so that i can also modify my bike like yours
There is a full video about my Sportster mods also as hundreds of pictures on my Instagram ☺️
@@tomboyabit wow glad to know that.
Thanks for letting me know.
Your videos are so brand and i love it with my top heart.
Well, I venture to ask you, what's your height? Because I'm short，I hope to be a reference. I like the 883 pedal very much ~
笑顔がとてもかわいい!
バイク跨がる話し、分かる!
Lovely
Nice motorcycle ride safe
Thank you 🙏🏻
my dream motobike🤔
just a dream😓

Dreams can come true friend.
@@dodibenabba525 thanks..😭👍
@@muzzammil86 I was 56 when I got the bike of my dreams......never give up. 👍
@@dodibenabba525 I live in village, to big dream for me, but thank you for support👍
@muzzamil_friends .......you don't know the future Muzza! Love your videos, you should do some of yourself too! Have a blessed day friend! 🙌👑
Music name and sources?
It's nice and all, but the question is 'why?' :D . I mean, there's like an infinite amount of alternatives one could choose from in order to travel way more comfortably than this.
The answer is simple. I love riding my bike. And I love traveling. Combining two together, is living the best life. Even at the moments it was extremely challenging and uncomfortable.
One klimb the Everest , one other does the Vendée Globe ..
Challenge yourself and get out your comfort zone , then you would understand.
do you prefer stay on your chair ?
Sorry for my very bad english !
Love your seat...can you share brand and model please?
Hey, sure it’s Roadster seat (2017 model). Got at the dealership.
Is more dificult make this in México but i wish travel in my bike One day One day ❤️❤️
great video!
Thank you
@@tomboyabit I recently saw some bike review videos made by women and honestly was disappointed on how the videos were basically an instagram like self promotion ad on who else but themselves. But your video is really great because you run through how to prepare for a solo trip and how you pack the trip items (such a painful thing for me). A real bikers' video! Bookmarking this to come see it again when I need to pack :) Great! And thank you!
I would like to know why you do not have a quick disconnect windshield on your motorcycle to keep rain off you and your riding gear?
Because I don’t like the look of it. 🤷🏼♀️
Cool
The fact that some man divorced this amazing woman is proof we can be idiots! She rides, is gorgeous, and funny...wow!
Thank you to speak slowly , so i can understand what you say 🙏
Where did you get the sissy bar from?
Custom made from America
Thanks
No problem
What kind of rear signals are those?
Kellermann
Very very usefull and you´re sooo gorgeous. Greetings!!

Hahaha you can use that luggage on any bike. I used it in GS, Monster, Scrambler, Husky.. backpack on absolutely everything 😃
How long it took me to unpack? ;)
Thank you 🙏🏻. Sportster always will be the best Harley to me.
روعه 💜🇮🇶
I'm not a blogger but i want blog with you,just once

I really really want to 🙏🏻
What the sissy bar please ?

@@tomboyabit awesome! Just emailed ya
Nice 👍
Thank you 🙏🏻
Please take me with you...
you know how to frame pictures or your friend. Photography exp
I would like to see the bag but it is on an invisible black background 😢
I don’t understand
She added links to the bags in the description.
Have to say, Missy, old school if you need more than a pair of saddle bags, and a sleeping bag, you taking to much. :)
The only thing is Kriega price is out of touch.. too expensive.
Yeah. I agree they’re expensive. But if to count price per use to me it was worth it.
What sissy bar is that?
Custom made.
You are amazing. I would love to ride with anytime. 😀
Awww thank you 🙏🏻
такая ты прикольная, сразу лайк после первых слов! :)
Don't you think it would be better to use a cart to carry the suitcases? 🤣😜
Can use a van with a bike in it, like most.
883??
Yes
9:34 Jesus Christ… what a mess from the bag down on the floor 😂
Swedish accent sounds very similar to russian
Before all, change that used tyre !
Compartment. NOT department
