So, I’ve been messing around with how to store stuff on my motorcycle lately, and I stumbled upon this thing called Yeti. Yeah, I know, sounds like the abominable snowman, right? But trust me, it’s a game-changer when it comes to keeping your gear safe and sound on the road.
Starting Simple
First off, I started small. I got this Yeti cup holder thingy. It’s tough as nails and keeps my drinks from spilling all over the place when I’m riding. It is just a holder, but I felt so safe when I was riding.
Taking the Plunge
Then, I thought, why not go bigger? I found this Yeti cooler, the Hopper Flip 8. It’s not huge, but it fits perfectly into my tail pack and even my bigger saddlebags. Plus, it’s got all these hooks and tie-off points, so I can strap it to my rear rack without worrying about it flying off.
Exploring Options
Now, I know some of you might be thinking, “But what about space?” Trust me, I’ve been there. Storing stuff on a motorcycle can be a real pain, especially if you don’t have a garage or shed. But here’s the thing, you can get creative. I’ve seen folks fit like 20 motorcycles into one of those big shipping containers. Of course, my bike isn’t that big, but you get the idea.
- Get a removable trunk: It’s like a little storage room on your bike.
- Use saddlebags: They’re perfect for smaller items.
- Find a storage unit: If you’re really tight on space, this is a good option.
Making It Work
So, how do I make all this Yeti stuff work for me? Well, I started by figuring out what I really need to carry. I mean, do I really need to bring my entire wardrobe on a weekend trip? Probably not. Then, I organized my gear into different bags. One for clothes, one for tools, and one for, you know, snacks. This way, I’m not digging through a giant pile of stuff every time I need something. I got a removable trunk to carry some bigger tools or clothes when I have a long-distance trip.
Final Thoughts
Look, storing stuff on your motorcycle can be tricky, but it doesn’t have to be a nightmare. With a little planning and some good gear like Yeti, you can make it work. And trust me, having your stuff organized and secure makes riding so much more enjoyable. I made my motorcycle like a moving home! No matter where I am, just enjoy!
