Giant Loop
Fandango Tank Bag
The 8L waterproof Fandango Tank Bag has a slim, low-profile design with a semi-rigid structure; durable materials; and bombproof construction.
I used my Diablo Tank Bag for years and absolutely loved it. The Fandango is exactly the same as what I know and love but it has 2 extra liters of storage? So, no decision to make: Yes please! –Jess

Diablo Tank Bag
The 6L waterproof Diablo Tank Bag features a minimalist design with a semi-rigid structure and superior build quality.
It has plenty of space for my on-bike essentials but stays out of my way. It has always kept my electronics bone dry and protected through rainstorms and tip-overs during water-crossings! –Greg

Tillamook Dry Bag
With 48 liters of waterproof storage, the Tillamook Dry Bag is built for journeying through the most brutal environments on the planet.
One Tillamook is perfect for riding one-up on a solo trip but, as the gear mule on our trips, two handle the camping and cooking needs for the three of us. I love how bombproof it is, how it rolls closed at both ends, and the backpack straps make it easy to carry into the hotel or over to the campsite. –Greg

Revelstoke Dry Bag
The 16L Revelstoke Dry Bag features a waterproof, minimalist design with rugged D-rings and daisy chained webbing for versatile mounting.
You often see the Revelstoke mounted as a tail or fender bag but it’s so durable and convenient that we decided to use a pair of them as tank pannier bags to create plenty of additional space up front. –Greg

Possibles Pouch
With a roll-top and daisy chained webbing on the sides, the Possibles Pouch provides 3.5L of waterproof storage that you can mount anywhere on your motorcycle.
My Possibles Pouches used to be called “Moxie’s pockets” because they carried her kibble and other necessaries. During the world adventure they carry small gifts like stickers and the GoRUFFLY Wristband to give to those we meet during the journey. –Jess

Pannier Pockets
The water-resistant, 2L Pannier Pockets are simple way to expand frontend storage and stay organized.
I use a pair of Pannier Pockets between my tank bag and tank bag panniers for carrying two essentials: emergency food on one side and treats for Jess on the other. So, I guess also it helps be feel like a better protector and a thoughtful partner! 🤣 –Greg

RUFFLY
K9 Moto Cockpit
The K9 Moto Cockpit is a tubular, steel-framed motorcycle dog carrier for medium and large dogs. Like the roll bars on an ATV or Jeep, the Cockpit combines cushioned, rigid protection with an authentic, open-air experience.
Even before the world adventure, the Cockpit has carried Moxie safely through thousands of kilometers of riding and plenty of off-road crashes. It feels like riding with a small human passenger and the laying down position keeps her relaxed and comfortable for hours. –Jess
K9 Moto Harness
The K9 Moto Harness is built outdoor tough and has security loops at the chest and top of the butt for securing your dog safely and securely into their K9 Moto Cockpit motorcycle dog carrier.
It’s really important to secure the dog’s butt as well as their chest when they’re riding. It’s much safer because it prevents them from somersaulting forward in an emergency stop or tip over. That’s what the K9 Moto Harness does – and it looks great while doing it! –Jess
K9 Moto Rainfly
The K9 Moto Rainfly is a lightweight, packable, waterproof cover for your dog’s Cockpit to protect against rain, wind, and cold for comfortable riding in adverse weather.
Not only does it keep Moxie warm, dry, and comfortable but it means that I can focus my full attention on the road, knowing that Moxie is fully protected from the elements. –Jess
K9 Moto SunShield
Ultra-lightweight and package, the K9 Moto SunShield protects against the harsh sun without catching wind or blocking the cooling airflow while your dog rides in their K9 Moto Cockpit.
Moxie’s dark fur absorbs sunlight and creates a lot of heat in strong sunlight conditions. The K9 Moto Sunshield keeps her fur cool and protects her from the sun’s harsh rays without creating a sail over my motorcycle or blocking the natural ventilation of her Cockpit. –Jess
TenderPaw Bedroll
With a plush, handwoven top and water-resistant bottom, the TenderPaw TREKKER Bedroll is for bringing the comfort and scent of home everywhere you go together.
I roll up Moxie’s TenderPaw and attach the shoulder strap rings to her Cockpit. The waterproof bottom keeps it clean and dry even when we ride through rain. When I unroll it at the campsite or hotel room, Moxie knows to curls up, let her guard down, and get some rest. –Jess

GLOBAL SATELLITE ENGINEERING
GSatTrack
GSatTrack is a web-based satellite and GSM tracking solution that manages the positions of every device in one location and through a unified, user-friendly interface.
The GSatTrack platform lets us track our route and share our location in real time. When you visit the interactive map on the GoRUFFLY Around the World page, that’s powered by GSatTrack. –Greg
GSatMicro
The GSatMicro is a powerful GPS tracker that includes an accelerometer, onboard sensors and processor, waterproof exterior, and connects to your phone by Bluetooth. At barely the size of a golf ball, it’s even more powerful than it is tiny.
This incredible GSatMicro GPS tracker rests in my tank bag and charges by USB as we ride. It allows us to share our location so you can follow where the adventure is happening in real time! –Jess
GSatSolar
Just 30g and barely larger than a golf ball, the GSatSolar is a compact, lightweight tracker with a solar panel that achieves a full charge with normal daily sunlight.
It’s hard to imagine a satellite-based GPS tracker that’s so small we can clip it to Moxie’s riding harness and follow her movements throughout the day. Oh, yeah, and we don’t need to plug it in at the end of the day! –Jess
Spot X
The Spot X is a compact GPS tracker that provides 2-way satellite messaging to communicate with friends and family, or with Search & Rescue services in a life-threatening situation.
Most wilderness and motorcycle travelers know that the Spot is a must for extreme adventures. The Spot X takes GPS tracking to another level by allowing us to communicate with friends and family even when far from cell coverage. And it lets us alert S&R if there’s a problem, although that’s one critical feature I hope we never use! –Greg

Tractive
GPS Dog 4 Tracker
The Tractive GPS DOG 4 runs off the mobile network, has coverage in over 150 countries, and conveniently clips to a standard collar of harness.
I call the Tractive “Moxie’s Tracker” because it gives me so much peace of mind to know that I can find her pretty much anywhere. It even has a fitness component so I can make sure she gets plenty of exercise in addition to those comfortable ‘in the saddle’! –Jess

ATLAS Throttle Lock
Bottom Kit in Black
The ATLAS Throttle Lock is an easy-to-use and simple-to-install cruise control that fits almost any motorcycle.
Moxie likes to lean out to the left side of Jess’s bike, which means most of my cameras need to be mounted on the right side and operated with my throttle hand. I can set the ATLAS to hold my speed and free my right hand to ***safely and carefully*** operate the cameras. –Greg

Arkadia Supply Co.
Sea to Sky 24L Pack
The fully waterproof, ultralight Sea to Sky Pack has 24 liters of capacity but weighs only 5 ounces and packs down to fit in your pocket.
We use our Sea to Sky Packs for boat trips, kayaking, day hikes, around town, and pretty much all the time and everywhere we go. Sometimes we even clip the stuff sack to Moxie’s leash in case we stop at the store on the way back from a walk. –Jess and Greg
