Preparation day in Switzerland before starting the Basel to Palermo motorcycle expedition. Gear checked, routes validated, systems ready.
Before a multi-week motorcycle expedition, small oversights become major problems. Today is about eliminating those risks.
The motorcycle has been serviced, but practical setup matters more:
• Gear test packed and repacked for accessibility • Tool kit confirmed • Electronics charged and tested • Navigation routes double-checked • Weight distribution reviewed
Everything must have a fixed place. Every item must justify its weight.
The expedition officially begins May 1st 2026
