Take undies for one last ride.

[Roger Over]

I’m certain I’m not the first one who thought of this, but I use this method to reduce the bulk in my luggage on bike trips as each day passes whether I’m on a one overnight trip or longer. I stay in motels and take a shower and change my T-shirt, underpants and socks before starting out the next morning. At home I save old underwear that I would have tossed out, but take them for one last ride, discarding what I wore the day before at each motel I stay. I put these three items in one Zip-Lok bag for each overnight stay. I also take an old rag for cleaning bugs off the windshield and throw that away, too on the last day of the ride. No bringing back laundry when I return home and a lot less bulk. And you can use the empty Zip-Lok bags for whatever. Anyway, that's my two cents input.

Ok? Welcome to the forum.
Maybe introduce yourself and tell us a bit about yourself?
What bike do you ride?

And yes I do that as well.

Over the last week this forum has taught me there's money to be had by flogging used underwear.

3 pairs. On. Clean. Drying.

Did me a 3 month camping tour.

Don't really see the point in this as for me, the issue is getting my gear down to a manageable quantity at the outset, ie on day 1. Having done that I don't see any particular value in reducing that amount over the duration of the tour. And pants and socks are pretty much the least bulky/heavy items I pack, anyway.

Also, on a motorcycle tour is the very last place I want to be wearing "washday pants".

Another thing is you don't throw pants out unless they are so heavily shitted that they can't/wont be cleaned or they have served additional time as a clean, then dirty, then oily rag in the workshop.

If the aim is to reduce luggage you might as well manage with one spare of most things and if a quick wash out isn't possible buy more out there.
