One Tip For Trips

[Cormanus]

If you're going where it might be cold, pack good thermal gear.

Always carry spare dry socks and underwear!
I hate riding with soggy socks.. I usually don;t mind riding through rain but once it seeps into uncomfortable areas, It's the little things that make it an enjoyable ride than a chore.

Take two credit cards. And call both beforehand and give them your rough itenerray. I had one of mine lock up in once in The Yukon.

(and hide some cold hard cash in your boot in case you get mugged)

Same thing happened to me in Texas a few years back when I rented a motorcycle. I had to call my credit card company and explain that it really was me using the card so far from home.

You too? On a break from work, I spent a week with my family in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico and later that same week I was trying to fill my plane with gas in Whitehorse, Yukon when the card went dead. I really couldn't blame the card company for being suspicious.

All these tips are awesome!

Only bring the food you need for two nights, max. I once packed a weeks worth of heavy food only to see the same stuff everyday in the gas station.

Carry a tire repair kit. I carry tire plugs and CO2 cartridges along with a fold up bicycle pump. Takes up very little space and works a charm.

First aid kit, clearly marked as such, and packed or strapped on, so as to be in view.

Oh, nearly forgot, adequate EBR.

Carry a couple of plastic bags from the grocery store (while they're still available) on your bike at all times. They're great for keeping your gloves dry when encountering unexpected rain.

I carry a small fire extinguisher. It's about the size of a can of spray paint. Made specifically for motorcycles. Forget the brand. Can probably easily find it on-line.
