Hole Road
Think About Carrying A Type Of Self Defense For Your Safety
There are those of us who can hardly wait for retirement to come along. The lure of the open road, enjoyed from the seat of a fine motorcycle is overpowering. The first time you head off for a long trip requires planning, coordination and a bit of whimsy.
The Ideal Bike make the Ride
Without a doubt the most comfortable motorcycle for an extended excursion is a touring bike. These bikes are designed with some incredibly posh features. From in helmet stero sound systems to comfortable seats, plus plenty of storage space, a touring bike supplies a rider plenty for a long bike adventure.
Service your Bike and learn how to make Basic Repairs
It is important that you have a bike in tiptop condition. The last thing you want during a long trip is to find yourself stranded a hundred miles from civilization. On you adventure you will see desolate stretches of road without a soul visible, yet this is different if you decide to stick to highways for the entire journey. Although this kind of plan misses the fundamentals of a road trip.
A basic tool kit, and the skills to use one, is an absolute essential. Tire repairs, the tightening of loosening screws and nuts, a flashlight, a few fuses and electrical tape should all be included in this kit as well as the tools needed to work on your specific bike. Odds are good that on a long ride, you will get to use them all.
Personal Gear for the Rider
Unless you plan to haul a trailer, you can only carry what fits in your saddlebags. At the top of your list should be lip balm and sunblock. Nothing ruins a day faster than sunburn. Number two is your cell phone, programmed with an easily identifiable emergency contact number. Also you should think about adding a lighter port on your bike so that you can easily charge your phone wherever you are located. A dead phone is of no use in an emergency.
Bad weather gear, from water to temperature protection is just as critical. In most instances you will realize that you can’t rest under a bridge, in some cases you may be required to travel while it’s raining or even when temperatures drop.
Take along some toilet paper, hygiene supplies – travel size work well, some wet wipes, a few plastic bags, a change of clothes or two and a few bandanas. Basic camping equipment is necessary if you plan to rough it. A good place to search for extensive lists of recommended products is on the Internet.
Stock up on Safety
Finally consider the things you need to keep both you and your bike safe. Take along both a chain lock and a disc lock to reduce the odds of your bike getting stolen. Also bear in mind that self defense thinking requires that you should have a means of guarding yourself while on the open road.
Another gain will be if you hanve taken years of karate, however employing a TASER or pepper spray is much more efficient. Stun gun reviews online will supply an ideal starting point to locate one that fits your needs and style.
With the correct organizing you can enjoy your open road dream.
