There are so many options out there when it comes to what gear you might need on one of our Dual Sport Academies, Rendezvous, or any adventure you and your bike might set out on. To make it a little easier for you to build your own kit, we're breaking down what MotoEx owner, Chad Barber, carries along with him on moto adventures. When first starting out, you'll find yourself trying to cram anything and everything onto your bike or backpack but don't worry, this is all part of the process. Out in the wilderness, it won't take long before you start to realize what gear is necessity and what is dead weight. Everytime you go out and come back, your kit will slowly get lighter and lighter until you reach...perfection! In our opinion, this is half the fun of actually getting out there and using the gear. In this breakdown, we'll start with what Chad actually attaches to his bike/person and then (without getting TOO detailed) throw it all out for you to see what's packed neatly inside. If you have any questions about any of the gear covered, don't hesitate to let us have 'em. Enjoy! Note: Like many other rider's, Chad has developed his gear over a long period of time to work for him. This breakdown should only be used to get some examples or to build upon since you may find there are items included that you do not need or items that you do need that aren't mentioned.
