Hi all,
This year I am determined to do a long trip and maybe get over to Singapore and tour M'asia and south Thailand (3500km). All depends on being able to successfully negotiate transport logistics and tough regulations in Singapore.
I am contemplating spares and equipment that I must have on hand. I am lucky to have a few friends in Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and Pinang. They will be able to hold them for me so that I can ship them locally should I need them.
I am looking at experienced members like TWB, Bert and others who have been on long tours and can provide this info.
I am slowly getting bits together, but can anyone provide a list of:
a. must have tools, spares, clothing (tropics) and other items,
b. "a.+ would be nice if you also had this" items.
I am confident that I've managed to get the bike reliable, but would be nice to be totally prepared. The bike(s) will be sea freighted to Singapore or M'asia and returned the same way. So far I and my friend are committed but others are welcome if they wish to ride their Ks through tropics.
Thanks in advance
