Hey guys, I'm a design student facing into my final year project. I am considering doing a motorcycle related project, and at the moment trying to find an opportunity where something could be created that people would buy in to. That said, at the moment I am looking at long distance travelling, moto touring and camping as an area to delve in to. Looking at problems that people face such as fatigue, riding conditions, planning, breakdowns etc.

Specifically so far I've looked at fatigue and numbness when being on the bike for a number of hours. Safety - both in the gear and in the peripherals such as visibility etc. Planning - planning your route, fuel stops, finding a place to stay etc. Weather conditions - keeping gear dry/clean for the following day. Storage - large amounts of camping gear (I know you can just get panniers and a top box)

I'd like to get a bit of insight into people's own experiences or where they think there is either room for improvement in existing gear/accessories/bikes or an opportunity to develop something new. Whether it's common breakdowns you've experienced, an issue you consistently have with your gear that currently nothing to resolve it, or even problems separate to the bike and gear that you face when riding! It would be really beneficial to hear about it, cheers!convert $299.99
