DC only charging is fantastic on a motorcycle. Wire up the bike to charge a power bank while riding, then charge everything else off the power bank.

One caution is that a loaded backpack can potentially be a problem in a crash (had that happen once, backpack had to be cut off me). I've moved more of my gear into my tail bag since then.

If I could have proper development on an iPad Pro it's be perfect.

I wired my panniers to the bike [0]. When I return from this trip, I'll convert the part inside the box to a simple USB-C outlet.

I don't use a backpack on the motorcycle. It's stowed in my panniers for when I get off the bike.

I need docker. Internet is never guaranteed, so I can't have a fancy remote setup.
