Motorbike life hacks

[Throttled]

This is good and I have used some already

- coat hanger cruise control (not tried, hands too big and it would get in the way)

- wire helmet lock (use one all the time, for my tank bag as well)

- make your own tie downs (not needed, yet)

- disc lock reminder (too fiddly)

- magnets to hold directions the tank (stuck down directions till I got a sat nav)

- bin bag to keep you dry (plastic bags in the boots is as much as I have had to do)

- news papers in boots for drying them out (works with any boot/shoe)

- duct tape sun visor (not used but very good idea)

- latex glove liners (used a lot in the winter and they work)

- crushed can side support (used a lot till I got fixed pucks fitted)

Number 10 - i've used before. Or a nearby rock

Number 9 - didn't work for me. better of with bark busters

number 8 - sunglasses.

number 7 - get waterproof boots

number 6 - can be quite good if you lack space for waterproofs. though i'd wear it on top keep my gear drier and look a bit stupid for a while.

number 5 - Use road signs / sat nav and avoid scratching your tank

Number 4 - Meh

Number 3 - cheaper than a rack i guess.

Number 2 - Might actually try that next time im in town

Number 1 - What could possibly go wrong.

So blindingly obvious things are known as "hacks" in the US now are they?

I was watching various hacks on you tube and looked up some bike specific ones. I think the duct tape sun visor is a good one if you do it neatly.

Have used the free plastic gloves at the diesel pumps with wet gloves before
