Well after a long motocamping drought I was able to get away for an overnighter to nearby Lake Somerville State Park (Birch Creek Unit). It was the first solo trip away with the Tiger 900 Rally Pro and the first trip where it was packed up for touring. I wanted to see how it worked out fully loaded and to give the bike and my camping gear a shakedown before my next trip. The video is a bit long but it has a lot of content, and it is a good memory for me anyway.

Good insightful video. There is no chance of camping here in Scotland...... it's way too cold 🥶 & has been snowing, I'm getting cabin fever 😢, those soft pannier bags look great, I have the Triumph expedition hard luggage, already damaged due to a fall so I'm thinking soft luggage is the way to go, however not so secure against thieves, I'm never too far from the bike & it's alarmed. Shame about your lid, I was thinking it would deform with the heat, I would have probably done the same thing 😂 Great video, looking forward to the next one 👍

Yes very pleased with the soft bags. I know that if my bike fell over with hard panniers on and they were dented I’d not be pleased at all, to put it mildly. Now I don’t want to damage these soft ones either but at least they don’t dent. Security is the only issue but I’d likely not have any issues when the panniers are on and I’m close by. As for the pot lid … another pot and lid are on the way. 😏 More trips to come and more gear to try. 🙂

How is the new tank bag working for you?

Perfectly. It is a bit big, but then that changes what I can carry as well, and I haven't even expanded it yet. I also installed the locking kit and that works out well.
