This will probably be the first Honda CRF 250 L to drive from Chiang Mai, Thailand to the Yunan, China / Tibet border and back to Chiang Mai.
Support pick-up is coming along carrying everyone's luggage. I'm harnessing some Wolfman Luggage on the bike for wet weather gear, camera holder (always have it easy to get to or you won't use it), small basic tool pouch & tank bag for wallet, phone, passport, money, bike docs etc... (all in a roll top waterproof bag, so step away from the bike and all the important things can be taken with you in 1 waterproof bag).
Above - Dunlop 605 tires (the same as fitted on Kawasaki KLX 250's), probably a good tire for this run.
Below are the mini Wolfman saddlebags i'm using, stuffed with rain gear. I like to use saddlebags whenever possible as it's then easy to cock your leg over the bike (top boxes get in the way) & the center of gravity of what you're carrying is lower. A couple of cans of chain lube in Wolfman holders attached too.
Array of printed maps for some route planning as well as a full set of maps on the Garmin Montana GPS
