Wishing you (well, everyone) a Happy New Year Amanda. End screen answer: My favourite purchase of 2020... my VStrom 650, which I bought just a few weeks before the first UK lockdown....DOH! Still, managed to rack (or is that wrack) up 2,500 miles of day trips though, so....

My Nelson Rigg tank bag was my favorite purchase this year. That bag and I bonded quite a bit over 2 months & 12k miles. Not waterproof, but held up crazy good during hurricane season in the south... Me and the gear on me didn't hold up so well, but the bag did! I was pouring water out of my boots, but the bag shockingly was only slightly damp on the bottom.

What a roller coaster of a year it's been. My wife bought a new (to her) 2015 CB500X, and we went with the Givi V35 side cases and the B37 we'd previously had on her Ninja 300. We don't do enough off-road and heavy adventure riding, so the lockable luggage makes more sense for us. I splurged on a Givi V56 top case for my Versys 1000. For rain gear, I just have a set of frogg toggs that I wear over my regular gear, but I think I'd invest in higher quality GORE-TEX if I lived somewhere that it rained more often. In the winter, I'll wear the frogg toggs over my "waterproof" Bilt pants and Joe Rocket Atomic jacket. With two layers of waterproof, I'll stay generally dry. Trusting a single layer never seems to work out, especially in longer storms.

Hope you feel better Amanda. I do hope my fireplace works !!! My favourite piece of gear is my new bike this year. My 2009 Super Sherpa died so I picked up a 2019 XT250. OMG what a difference fuel injection makes in my quality of life on 2 wheels !!!! My second favourite piece of gear will be the Kuryakin XS Cube seat bag that I bought for this bike. The bike didn’t come with a rear rack so I decided to go with the flow with a seat bag instead. Man I now have POCKETS !!! Organization is such a novel idea after running a 37 litre plastic top box for a couple of decades! I do miss the lockable part but I never really ride with much valuables anyway. My third favourite piece of gear this year will be my Revit Horizon 2 jacket. I bought the GTX pants same as yours last year and liked the quality but not the venting - nothing gets in through the liner and I hated fumbling with it in public washrooms so I decided to try the Horizon 2 instead. I bought it end of season so haven’t really tried it in the rain yet but the reviews are very positive so I’m hoping it will be fine. The European cut does feel quite different from my old First Gear jacket - which coincidentally is also sand in colour - although mine never failed me even in miserable pouring rain. The Revit jacket fits much more snug but I actually don’t mind it. I feel securely wrapped lol ... like it and all the armour will stay put if I ever touch the pavement with any part of me other than the bottom of my boots. Looking forward to your next adventure !!!!

Good video, as always. I would say my favorite add on for 2020, was my Wolfman Expedition bags! (like yours) But second to those, is my Seat Concepts foam/seat cover that I got. With the stock seat, I felt like I was always sliding forward into the low spot, and I like to vary my seating position as I ride, the Seat Concepts foam gives the seat a flatter profile, to eliminate my sliding. I love it. Oh, and my SW-Motech centerstand, which I use all the time.

Hi Amanda, Firstly end screen answer ---- favourite thing this year was my 2020 Honda Africa Twin. :-) So I've created a new KZitem account, my last comment to you (which you replied to) was probably from UrbexbyAir. BUT..... the reason I am commenting today is because I've started the new channel for a reason, and that is to finally get out and do "the thing" as you so nicely put it... I've been planning for sooooo long to see more of the world, but after a number of disasters in my life in 2019/20 I've decided it's time (as soon as COVID is under control at least). I'm gonna do a shout-out to you on one of my video's very soon.. I've only got two MotoVlog'ish video's up so far (the rest are so old it's not funny but they bring people to my channel). More videos will go up weekly at the very least. So come March 2020 I'm going to be on the road in Australia for 5 weeks to get out there, see and do things, and depending on COVID border restrictions it may be multi-state, or it may just be NSW.. but either way, 5 weeks on the road, on my Africa Twin...and I thought you'd like that.. because I take some of my inspiration from watching you get out there on your CB500X (that was the bike I had which I lost in the 2019 bushfires over here). Anyway, this turned in to a novel... LOL. Feel free to follow me, or not ;-)

My major purchase was my bike, a 2019 Suzuki V-Strom 650. I'm currently working on gathering everything together to head out across the country for an extended trip... when things start opening up again.

Ha ha she said she would link the 11 beautiful videos of the "Flight of the Magpie" if you havent seen them or don't know what she is talking about??? (yes that is paraphrased lol) Thats funny I am sure that everyone on KZitem has seen them by now. I mean who would want to miss anything that the most influential, most loved ADV vlogging gal EVER ..... AMANDA ZITO!!! I am sure I am right and that all have watched her informative and entertaining educational and perfectly edited videos..... right?? My favorite new gear this year is my Cardo in helmet communications system Wow how nice it is to be able to listen to my music, map directions, and take phone calls! If I had some fellow riders to ride with, the intercom would work just as well too.

I purchased an Alps Mountaineering Lynx 1 tent, and I ordered a camera and a chest rig, so I can start taking videos of my rides. And I also bought more cheese this year, I don’t know what that has to do with anything. Merry Christmas.

Awesome Amanda, Hope you feel better soon? That tent is awesome do you think it is roomy enough for 2 people moto camping? We use a 3p tent at the moment it just doesn't pack that small. Nice to know you used the Samsung tablet for editing I am looking at a tablet upgrade for this when on the road also! Any app recommendations? My favorite piece of tech this year is the Mavic air 2 drone i got still early days but i like its size and its great for following the bike to get some neat shots!

I think that really depends on the comfort and preferences of those two people. It would def fit two sleeping pads but nothing else, but that's what the vestibules are for (extra gear). For me personally if that other person was my partner, yes. If it was my best friend, yes. If it was just a riding buddy. No. lol It does have two doors sooo you don't have to crawl over each other to get out which is nice. Kinemaster is what I used to edit. And I guess any app that will let you transfer your footage from your camera to the tablet. Sony has an Imaging Edge App that I use as a monitor, remote control and also lets me transfer photos and footage from my camera to my phone/tablet etc.

Im curious if what, if any, issues you have editing videos on the tablet. My laptop cant handle editing and my pc just barely. Is it good enough where you can edit, play, and render smoothly?

Ok the elephant in motorcycle options that is womens gear is really bad. Pink or only black for a majority of items is really frustrating. Buying for the wife is hard as she prefers NOT PINK. Great video! Favorite thing I bought would be the CRF250L, but gear wise would have to be the mavic mini or insta360 one r. Hope you feel better!
