Me, my bike and the Gear

Multiple images of me in different countries
My name is Viggo Petersen, I’m adventurous AF and love to travel. I’m going to Japan to begin my Master’s degree in Software Engineering, but instead of flying there I figured driving there on my motorcycle would be a lot more fun. On top of that I started this blog and my YouTube channel in order to document my trip and hopefully inspire more people to go on similar adventures!

The Bike

I bought my 2008 Suzuki GS500 back in May 2019, and it’s a lovely little machine. Despite being a naked street bike I’m sure it’ll be fine for such a long trip.

The Bags

I have a few different bags for the bike, the main one being my Osprey hiking backpack.

  • Osprey Rook 50
  • Waterproof side bags
  • Tank bag
