Weeks before I'm ready to go on a long journey in motion, I raised. Often I have come to the point where I can think of nothing else. Unfortunately, this does not mean that you spend time preparing for IT. Normally, it was the last. However, I have learned over the years that this means that my package does not match what is actually needed for the trip. The test was last year I was in Sturgis with nothing more than a sweatshirt andLeather jacket driving around in 45 to 55 degrees of time. MOVE dumb.
Anyway stop looking for that, I made a list of things that you need for each packet and where I have done to save the bike. To build a list of all divided into groups to keep some 'better organized. The categories are used:
Things to keep the Motorcycle Rolling
Things To Motorcycle Insurance
Things to keep the pilot going
Protective clothing and equipment (Riding Gear)
Hygiene
Camping Equipment

Things to keep the Motorcycle Rolling
Apart from their mechanical skills, culminating over long distances usually up to something to fix on the bike. It 'just the kind of motion. At least I am always with the patch of the tire and CO2 cartridges for the problems of tires on the roadside, and I will not go away until the next> Bike Shop. If the firm is in a great distance that the tools you need to remove the tire and we hitchhiked. Since riding a Harley Davidson (not balanced and not rubber-mounted) I always wear a full set of Torx wrench and Allen wrench, would, along with a bottle of Loctite on the parts that I think are the best side road ready to harden. They also carry a small multi-tool, a small LED flashlight because it seems moreBreakdown of the night. May be in my pocket, and tool (important word there) always extra fuses, an additional candle lamps and much more. And the two most important things, cable ties and tape. Still, with which you can fix anything to prevent it, while on the road. I discovered that packed for most brands of motorcycles to see grants for tools, that a good set of tools will be aligned for you. Sometimes the quality of the instruments can beis debatable, but what we do well ride around in your saddlebags, and they will do in case of emergency.
Things To Motorcycle Insurance
When you plan your trip like me (NO) is not always the end of their stay in the most prestigious institutions. It's always a good idea to have the bike lock and a way of locking the wheels. At least this way you get lazy motorcycle thieves keep pace with the wheel. I alwayscarry two keys for every lock with me when I travel. There are those who carry in a pocket or hanging from the belt and put in my pocket if I lose the others. As a disc lock I really recommend. They are small, strong and provide a good deterrent. But deal with it when someone comes with a lift and just hauls your bike. Everything you need to carry a heavy rope or chain lock to the bike to a fixed-rate bondFramework. Personally, I like this because of the volume and weight, in addition to the saddle bags and got pretty good insurance, when to replace the stolen bicycle.
Holidays to keep the course, the drivers
Care of the pilot is much, if not more important to keep the bike moving. If there are out there in the wind there are millions of things that affect our ability to comfortably and safely. Some of them havediscussed in other articles. First, we must ensure that they are protected from the sun. How burns on his arms, hands and face can certainly ruin a good day of driving. I carry a stick, which has a sunscreen SPF-30 rating and is waterproof and dries instantly. I use it on the skin that are under the sun. Whatever lip balm. Chapped lips can be very painful for the road.
Both sunburn and chapped lips may surprisewithout knowing it. Other things that pack contains a first aid kit, bandages, painkillers and antiseptic ointments. Accidents on the road can be very simple dark on the streets, we are constantly affected by infection.
Perhaps my most important piece of equipment is my cell phone. I always make sure that with me and always loaded. Today, there is probably no device that is more important than a cell phone in case of emergency.In general, an advantage of chargers for use at night, and a car charger 12V. Fortunately, I installed a light on my bike, which can invite me to your bike. In this way, can never worry caught with a cell phone died.
While I'm talking about mobile phones, please be sure to tag the ICE number in the phone's contacts. ICE numbers are the first to find what rescuers in case of emergency. After theseNumber (s) on your phone can increase your chances of getting adequate medical care. Two basic considerations should be for the numbers:
Make sure that the numbers are in progress. Not contribute to a number that is no longer valid, having as ice.
Make sure that the person does not answer the call in some basic knowledge about their medical history. Things like known allergies, blood type and name of the doctor. By providing this basic information the emergency –Health workers are able to more informed decisions.
Protective clothing and equipment (Riding Gear)
During long trips is very likely going to affect all types of weather imaginable. No matter how hot it got in the middle of a sunny day in summer, there are certainly cold outside, waiting for you. If you're in the middle of the desert, which will be run by some rain. After all that on a motorcycle. Beingprepared, save all the space in the saddlebags for reins. My usual list is:
My Colors. You can not ride a bike without them.
Best get a leather jacket, a removable lining and ventilation.
Caps. Ensure sound and in good condition.
Full finger gloves and gloves
A couple of extra doo rags. I'm always losing those things.
Face mask of any kind have a hard on my bike and me to protect the largestTime, but the rain, hail and cold neoprene mask really helps.
Sunglasses and / or goggles. I personally like the convertible combinations of glasses and sunglasses that have interchangeable lenses can change. My personal favorites are the SG-1 from WileyX.
Waterproof. One of the most favorable rates from Wally World is not enough. Of course you can stay dry for a while ', but not often, you get 30 miles down the road, and demand is flying behind you as youStreamers. Not saved.
A couple of tissues will always be useful.
If the weather will be hot and then a polymer crystal cooling scarf is a piece of art that lasts. As a rule, this bear in a bag to avoid new and different things that you always get wet when not in use.
Of course, as has been said a million times "Dressing in layers is the right way." The ability to add layers and layers can be removedessential for your convenience. As for clothing, refers to a minimum. Plan to bring enough for a couple of days to wash stations in your journey. This will help your load manageable. The key is for all conditions Pack is scheduled to run in the hold, but as little as possible. Be creative and discover the many applications of the various parts of the clothes I wear and how best to expand the capacity of the clothes. After all, if you're in the rainwithout your rain suit, are the clothes for the day. Or not?
Hygiene
Even an old biker, as I like Scummy clean from time to time. And since often alternate between camping and motels things help with the washing. These include a towel, towel and soap and shampoo bottles can be obtained in most motels. It helps in my work I travel a day, for as long as I have a life, a source of longthese.
I also tried the teeth last thing I want to say that, I bring my toothbrush and toothpaste to maintain. Since I have long hair that I take a brush to get the rats nest that forms in my hair every day. Usually on long trips do not shave, but I always have a knife with me. I used the soap in the face instead of shaving cream.
One last item I never ran out of toilet paper.There's nothing worse than necessity, when, suddenly, if you're traveling and do not match. Usually start with a small amount that rights are met by a couple of times. If I end up with, I usually free restocking nearest gas station or hotel.
All this is in a bag that I always very crowded, so that it will never worry. If you use something that I replaced and it is a senseless act to throw that inT-Bags.
Camping Equipment
Camping is probably one of the hardest things to wear and pack on a motorcycle. This is mainly based on the fact that, in general, bulky and not necessarily very good package. Although it seems to put the bags of the package, what you want. As a rule, in the end, when the foot or tied down, especially when trying to achieve.
For a tent, I found the two little-man –Dome tents work best. They are easy to install, has plenty of room to spread in the night (if only one person in it) and pack down pretty nice. My tent comes in a plastic bag, which I knew little about the ability to roll down the street and replacing the bag with a much more robust. My company is generally bunged in my T-Bag and further, connect to your bike.
On the other side of the T-Bag, I have my mattress. Over the years have passed since thatSoil has become more difficult. I use one of these is beyond self-inflating mattresses that some planes. While not the most comfortable, sure beats sleeping on the floor. In the morning all you have to do is open the valve, roll up and ready to go. I have a bag to carry the mattress.
Other
I always thought that the rooms can be the completion of a motorcycle trip a pain. The old style (film based) have a tendency totoo much space. And the camera will require much additional material, such as chargers, place to download photos and stuff. For a while, 'I wore Advantix cameras, since they may be relatively small and take a good picture quality. Now I have never been a fan of views, but they are available. Now, I carry a digital camera and several memory cards bought for her. That way I can cards like regular film and do not usemust bring all materials downloaded the images until you get home.
Other important points include a wallet, credit cards and money. Can not go no further. And the only thing that I think is very important, a notebook and pen. When I travel, which is great to be able to take notes on what they saw as the bike went where I slept and I meet interesting characters on the road. It is also important because if you're like me andsuffer from CRAFT disease (Write me if you know what that means) wants is a good way to refresh the memory of years of travel from now on.
Now that the bike is all one last thing to remember, which is loaded with all the extra weight of the things you carry the bike is likely to handle differently. Thinking about trying to keep weight as low and closer to the center of the bike as possible. This will help the front wheelI know too bright or a little 'in top-heavy bike. make sure that everything is connected very well. Bungie's belt and a good dose of calm that their cargo is secure.
Take care … Enjoy the Ride
