Why the Right Motorcycle Luggage Setup Matters

When it comes to motorcycle touring, comfort and convenience are key. Whether you're heading out for a day trip or embarking on a long-distance journey, the right luggage setup allows you to carry all the essentials you need without compromising your ride's handling. A proper luggage setup provides secure storage for your gear, ensuring you have everything at hand without worrying about your bags shifting during the ride. Plus, comfort becomes especially important for longer trips, which is why I've chosen gear that maximizes both storage and ride quality.

The Luggage Setup Breakdown

I’ve carefully selected a combination of Viaterra tail bags that fit seamlessly on the Interceptor 650, and these products are designed to be universally compatible with all motorcycles. I've also used the same bags on my Yamaha RX100 and RX135. Here’s a breakdown of the bags and accessories I showcase:

---

Viaterra Pod 12 & Viaterra Pod 22

These compact yet spacious tail bags are perfect for packing all your essentials. The Viaterra Pod 12 is ideal for shorter trips or when you need to keep your gear minimal. For longer journeys, the Viaterra Pod 22 offers more room for added gear without affecting bike performance. Both of these bags are made with durable materials that are 100% Waterproof and built to withstand long rides.

Carbonado Y07 Hydration Pack

Hydration is key on long rides, and the Carbonado Y07 hydration pack is an absolute game-changer. It’s lightweight and designed for comfort, ensuring you can stay hydrated without having to stop frequently. The pack fits comfortably on the bike and doesn’t take up too much space, so you have easy access to water without sacrificing cargo space. I also carry my camera gear when I don't have the hydration bladder inside.

Additional Accessories for a Complete Setup

While the bags themselves are crucial, there are a couple of other components in this setup that significantly improve the overall experience:

Rear Luggage Rack

The rear luggage rack is a key part of the setup. It provides a solid, stable base for all your tail bags, ensuring they stay securely in place no matter how bumpy the road gets. The rack is designed to fit seamlessly with the Interceptor 650 specifically.

Deluxe Touring Seat

When you're spending hours on the road, comfort is paramount. The Deluxe Touring Seat is designed for long-distance riders, offering superior comfort and support. With added cushioning and a design that promotes good posture, this seat ensures you won’t have to worry about back pain during your journey. I feel the stock Interceptor 650 is pathetic and I can hardly ride a few hundred kilometers on it. Deluxe touring seat is one of the most comfortable seats.

Rynox recently launched their 100% Waterproof Socks and It was just about time for my monsoon rides to start. I've been waiting for an Indian brand to launch waterproof socks in India because all foreign brands are quite expensive when it comes to anything that is waterproof. I was initially planning to go for sealskinz waterproof socks but those are expensive (You can get those for somewhere around 8K-12K INR, Including shipping) but Thanks to Rynox, I now have the H2GO waterproof socks. Rynox were kind enough to send these socks for me to test them,  shoot a review video and I did just that. This is not a sponsored review, my reviews have always been honest and will continue to do so in the future as well.

I Tested these waterproof socks in water, wore them without the riding boots just to test them out (Do not wear them without shoes because it may damage the waterproof membrane. I did this because I was testing the socks and was shooting a video) After testing them for about 10-15mins the socks got wet on the OUTSIDE but even then the sock doesn't let the water inside because it has a waterproof membrane. so the waterproof membrane has a height of 30cms and anything beyond 30cms the water might seep in but 30 cms is more than enough for keeping you safe from water because you don't really need more than 30cms of height for trekking, offroading, riding in the rain etc. I tried my best to get the water inside and I must say I failed! These are 100% waterproof! Also, these socks are very comfortable so it's not going to be a problem when you ride long distances but because it is waterproof, sweaty feet would be an uncomfortable situation if your wearing this on a hot, humid or a sunny day (Why would you wear waterproof socks on a sunny day? lol). 

Conclusion : Get your pair of Rynox H2GO waterproof socks and You won't be disappointed. You can get yours for 2,650 Rupees through their website (Link to their website) or your nearest riding gear stores. I found out These are 100% Waterproof and I am yet to test them thoroughly but I will shoot another full review video once I test these out. Please checkout my YouTube review video to find out more. 

 

I've been looking for a budget mobile holder under 1000 rupees from quite sometime now, but there are some Chinese knockoff's of the ram mount and I do not trust the build quality of those mobile holders. Also I did not want to get into any trouble by getting a cheap quality mobile holder, So I stumbled upon the Bobo Claw grip and ordered it for 1,400 Rupees from Amazon. It is selling for around 1,350 as of now. 

I received the mobile holder in just a day and was surprised by the fit and finish of the product. I then slowly started using the mobile holder, First on my Hero Impulse and as I slowly gained confidence on the quality of the mobile holder, I also used it on my RX135, RX100 and my old 2stroke Jawa 250. 

I am very happy with the mobile holder and It is sturdy even at 90-110kmph speeds. I usually ride 2strokes and I barely go above 110Kmph speed. For my kind of riding I found Bobo claw grip to be very sturdy. It is also very compact and fitting the mobile just takes a minute or two. It is hands down the best mobile holder under 1500 Rupees. I definitely recommend anyone to go for it.  

If you are still in a dilemma to get it, Then Watch my YouTube Review of the Bobo Claw Grip below - 

Yamaha RX100 VS RX135, Which is more powerful? This is the most common question I get asked everytime, literally everytime. People are confused whether to choose the RX100 or RX135. I have ridden both RX's and I like the RX100 for it's initial power and RX135 for its refined, smooth engine with amazing top end. I miss the iconic exhaust sound (of the RX100) on the RX135 though. You can never get the iconic beautiful exhaust sound of the RX100 in RX135 because of the engine, so if you are mad about the mesmerizing exhaust sound of the RX100 you will have to get the RX100, But the RX135 is a more practical motorcycle, RX100 is great for city riding but once you leave the city and head onto the highway you feel that the engine feels stressed at high rpms while you're doing somewhere around 80-90kmph. 

Presenting The All Original 1961 Jawa 250cc Type 353 Motorcycle, This motorcycle is in Hyderabad, Telangana, India and It is one of the finest looking Jawa's in the country. I was lucky enough to ride it for a few days and made tons of memories with the motorcycle.

If you notice, This Jawa even has the famous skirt mudguard along with the original monograms on left side and right side. There are many rare parts on the motorcycle like the original extra light on the handlebar, front and rear bigger drums also known as milling hubs, aluminum center stand, full aluminum number plates, tank switch, tank cap, milometer, etc which make this jawa absolutely beautiful.I have seen many jawa's till date but nothing like this old beauty. 

I also made a dedicated review video on this amazing piece of art, Below is the YouTube Video.
