Clothing /Luggage
Costa Rica is a tropical country, so mostly T-shirt, shorts are enough, however, in the mountains it can get noticeably cold and a sweater, long pants and sturdy shoes are then advantageous.
The motorcycle clothing should be functional, that is, light, air-permeable and equipped with protectors, but it should also protect against cold and wet. Very important are also the shoes, sturdy motorcycle boots or high hiking boots are essential.
As luggage, a robust luggage bag is suitable, which protects against moisture and dust. You can store the hard suitcases for the next cruise!
