Packing For A Backcountry Discovery Route Trip On My Light Adventure CRF450L

This is what I took along on the IDBDR in 2020 on my light ADV bike. From camping and cooking to tents and tarps, and everything in between. And it all fit on my Honda CRF450L in Mosko Moto's Reckless 80 Revolver system.

What I wear:
Arc'Teryx Atom SV Jacket -
Jersey
Gloves

On the 911 Bike:
Zeta Levers, Chain Guide, Heel Plate,
Front Sprocket Cover, Bash Guards,
DeCal Works Graphics
Acerbis Front Fender
etc...

I got a CRF250L and I like it when you said " I ride Honda and I carry tools for other people."

“Everything on a bike will vibrate and cut through everything”. Words to live by!

Best vid on Tube about keeping it light and real. My kit is 95% the same. Tiger 900 Rally Pro.

You are living my dream. Keep on riding.

I love hearing about people riding BDR's on smaller bikes! Awesome gear list and I love the pants lol

[greatfallskam]

Having done a few BDR myself on a WR250R, I can tell you're the real deal. Excellent video.

The Therm-a-rest neo-air Micro Pump is a great addition to a lightweight kit.

Yeah when you spend enough time in the bush, you can feel weather coming. Either a smell, or a chill in the air or a change in the breeze. Happy trails, I'm just starting out on my biking journey. Got my license at 31 and I'm quite enjoying myself. Got the bike put away for winter and just jonesing for the next riding season.

John, I came here a couple of years ago for your helo mountainside rescue video. I stayed for the excellent adventure riding videos plus the informative travel prep videos like this one. I probably won't ever do the type of solo riding you do. However, watching has given me many ideas for equipment and packing for our two-up touring on our Super Tenere. Thank you for all the great work you do.

Absolutely in love with that motorcycle

“But I ride a Honda so...” 🤣🤣🤣 excelente

[LibertyEver]

Thank you for the video, John. Very helpful to see what you carry and how you carry it. There was a lot more than I expected from the initial appearance.

I wish Honda made an ADV version of the 450 with longer service intervals, much larger fuel tank, large rear rack and tubeless tires.

I sprayed my Reckless 80 bags and paniers with silicone spray and it made it quite a bit easier to insert and remove the bags.

Well thought out! Backpacking on a smaller bike.

[brianhansen]

It was amazing how much stuff you pulled out of that small space 😮

[blairguinea]

Great vid John, its amazing what you can carry on a bike and it helps if you can remember where everything is, thankyou Sir, great adventure !

[richardclegg]

Another great video, just gotta trade that red machine in for an orange one! Yup Mosko stuff is the best, worth every penny.

[JohannesDalen]

This was very helpful- I’m leaving for a seven day trip next week. Norwegian TET.

[dvwestmoreland]

Great no bs explanation of what is practical
Tarp idea and chain maintenance are ideal!
Ever thought about getting one of those little air pumps for inflating your mattress?
Thank you

A little late to the party, but... Excellent packlist, looks a lot lot like mine actually.
You said you were looking for tips: Here's mine - when the time comes to replace your sleeping pad, take a look at the Exped Downmats, they're really excellent AND as the surprise bonus, if you get their "schnozzle" bags, you can inflate it super quick, and then use the bag as your pillow. Great system.
