Let's see what I have to check now…engine, antifreeze, oil, tires…do I really need this? Not really! In this video, I will tell you 10 tips that will help you prepare any motorcycle for a long trip, stay with me!
The very first thing you have to do is to ask yourself a few questions: Where the trip will be, how long and on what terrains? Are you going to sleep in the tent or you will book hotels? When you know the answers you will have a clear idea of what you will really need. For example on a long trip, more than 10,000km you have to change the oil, the tires and maybe to carry some spare parts.
On the other hand on the weekend trips, you can go with only your credit card and you will be okay. This will help you to prepare the bike and the luggage more efficiently and stop wasting time and money for things that you don't really need.
No more talks let's go to the tips:
1. Service the bike before the trip
I cannot stress enough how important this is! Everything you do before the trip will help you during the trip. It is that simple and still cannot get why some riders miss it!
2. Spare parts
This is something that will require you to have at least some basic knowledge of your motorcycle. Learn it now so you don't need to do it later. The manuals are usually a very good starting point but you can always find more than enough information online.
3. Comfort is everything
That's right, the comfort is everything! It is so important not only for your ass, as you might think at the moment but also for your safety.
4. Navigation
No doubts that on a trip the navigation is something very important. It doesn't matter what option you will choose to use, a proper GPS or your telephone make sure that you set it properly. The right position has to be as high as possible right in front of your eyes without blocking the road of course.
5. Luggage
With the luggage options, you will find so many different opinions and what is most important is that they all will be right. What you will choose will depend only on you and the type of trips that you plan to have.
6. Safety
I told you once that safety is just an illusion and I will stay behind my words but there are a couple of things that you can do to improve your safety on the road.
7. Motorcycle security
To protect your motorcycle is very important, especially when you travel abroad. You have to do your best to protect it because no one will do it for you. Because it is a long discussion I will recommend to go and watch a video that I made a long time ago. The audio is terrible but the information is priceless. You can watch it here.
8. Plan the route carefully
I talk about this in many videos but I will do it again! Make a plan and follow it. I don't mean to be so strict with all traffic lights and exactly the km but you should have a basic idea of how the trip will be executed. Don't listen so call experts that will tell you to go without any plans in the name of the adventure. This could finish very badly for many of you!
9. Make a backup plan
Having a backup is equally important as the main plan. This will give you peace of mind if something goes wrong and you don't have to stick without any idea what to do now.
10. Doublecheck everything
Yes, this will be my final tip, go and doublecheck everything and I will repeat again: Everything you do before the trip will help you during the trip!
