Decided to go with the Mosko Moto Nomad tank bag as it is a really well made bit of kit and not too obtrusive when standing up on the pegs...... brilliant design with several layers each with various zipped pockets of all sizes....even a lined one for sunglasses......the hydration pack fits in the bottom so ya not carrying it on your back. Underneath there are straps tucked in which pull out to make it a rucksack when leaving the bike. A map pocket is also provided.
More to come on vaccines, visas and more farkling......

Hydration tube,
i assume you have to be sat whilst having a drink..
But ....does it reach your lips ...whilst sat upright..and without leaning forward to slurp....

Reach is no problem......be nice to stick in freezer overnight if it’s a bit hot.......that’s if they av freezers in mud huts..
Well you could have a look at the Mosko Moto Backcountry 35. This is what I went for on my KTM 790S - love the low seat height. Tractive suspension on order for it.
Great trip you have lined up.

So today I applied for an international driving licence online.....cost £35 which is a tad more than post office but I couldn’t be bothered to pay £18000 to park in Sheffield and then queue in post office for 6 days....
Started removing various bits off the bike as I thought it may be a good idea to know a little about it...was going to remove rear wheel..then I thought fuck it.....
.
I’ve decided to invest in a new set of boots as my sidi adventures are a bit knackered after many years and miles......so I’m liking the look of the Revit expedition H20 which offer a superb amount of protection and seem to get good reviews...but...they are the cost of a small bus.....so do I stick with sidi or opt for total ankle / shin safety..bearing in mind I’ll be living in these most of the time.......anyone tried the Revit boot ??

I'm liking this, have a good trip!!
Don't want to state the obvious, but have you looked at the Adventure-Spec Magadan panniers.
They're a bomb proof pannier designed for this sort of trip. Can also be rack mounted, they're tough, designed to be fairly cut proof and have security features which a lot of soft panniers don't have.
Could be worth a look.

I have both and the revitts are brilliant easy to walk in but really comfortable and the boa fastening is so easy for outright protection I think the sidis have the edge but both brilliant boots

Which is the warmer boot ?
It looks like a tight boot to get on the revit.....My Sidi have let a bit of water in on the odd occasion so that’s why I’m thinking of changing.......
I would say the Revitts are warmer and if I was wearing them everyday it would be them been in torrential rain no issues but also on my second pair of Sidis and never an issue.Sidis have more protection,

I’m surprised at that as I thought from watching YouTube reviews that revit offered more ankleand shin protection and I suppose they both squeak like Prince Andy’s girlfriends....
The revitts definitely dont squeak and the Sidis are adventure 2s in suede much quieter than 1s
What a great plan for a trip. Watching with envy. Have a brilliant time.
Hey Rick ... have you ever been to Kazakhstan, or to China, or to Turkmenistan?
Thought not .... I've ridden my motorcycle overland to all three, so you're just guessing and listening to old wives tales
See you and Camel Toe next Friday, it's my birthday .... first beers on me
Good one John (Camel Toe)
He's been busy putting transfers on.
