Well, I'll be on the road for 6 months, cape to caïro trip. Most of the time I will be camping and I am planning to ride some dirt roads. Good thing is that I am a champ in travelling light. Don't need much. Tent, sleeping mat, sleeping bag, stove and pot, minimum of clothes, and some spare parts. Think it will all fit on the back of my bike. I want the bike as light as possible, even if it means leaving some gadgets at home. The less stuff you have, the less to worry about, no? And I can't imagine that riding a bike that looks and weighs like an icecream truck is really pleasant. Specially if you have to sit and ride on it for half a year. Going to look further into tailbag choice...
