The chain is not as big of deal as they used to be for sure. I adjust and lube before a trip and lube again when I get home. I only lube in the middle of the trip if I ride in a lot of rain. 1500 miles without an adjustment is not a problem at all.I have never adjusted my chain mid trip. I just replaced my chain and sprockets at 36,909 miles. Twice as far as in the old days. These new chains have internal lube and the only reason for external lube is rust prevention and some interaction between chain and sprocket surfaces.
you can get case guards that will accept highway pegs for stretching out.
rain is rain, if it does, you need a rain suit (or jacket pants boots and gloves with gore tex), or you are going to get wet.
