November 7, 2017 3:18 pm Filed to: Bikes and Cycles by Jerry

Entertainments, adventures, excursions, fun and frolic, picnics, long-drives, etc all are a pleasant part of our lives. Some people are really fond of long motorcycle road trips which give both information and entertainment simultaneously. The riders can enjoy and avail both the advantages only if they remain safe and sound throughout their journey and feel free of any troubles on the way whatsoever. It is definitely possible when the trip is well-planned and the bike is well-equipped with all the necessary accessories which may facilitate the riders when and where needed. Rather than the destination itself, the adventure and the feeling of being free on the road are the main focus of the riders during such long road trips. In order to enjoy a long motorcycle road trip, we have listed down 6 must- have accessories for the same purpose.

  1. Paper maps & GPS
  2. Luggage
  3. Riding gear
  4. Security system
  5. Crash protection
  6. Motorcycle repair kit
  1. Paper maps & GPS

In order to avoid any confusion about the safe and smooth way to the destination, riders must always have road maps & GPS with them. These will give a sense of security and confidence to them that they will not be lost even if they happen to be detracted on their way. The riders must keep observing these guidelines from time to time in order to avoid nay mishap in case of their deviating from the right track. Also, it is not at all difficult to manage paper maps & GPS, for these are easily available anywhere. These are specially helpful when your destination is in some remote area previously unknown to you.

  1. Luggage

On motorbike road trips, it is absolutely essential to keep your items safe and sound form sheer sunlight and stormy rain. So it is very wise to prepare your luggage the way bothering you the least. It is much better to keep your luggage in one big bag rather than carry it in many small bags. For your convenience, we have classified your luggage into hard, soft and dry categories so that you may select accordingly and decide wisely which thing to keep in which way. Hard luggage include iron, steel or aluminum items, soft luggage involve textile or leather items whereas dry luggage enlist PVC(Poly vinyle chloride) or TPU (Thermoplastic polyurethane) materials. All the three luggage have their own pros and cons. So decide it very sensibility which one to carry along. Saddle bags, tail bags and tank bags may also be added if direly required.

  1. Riding Gear

Weather condition is one of the most unpredictable factors during the bike road trip and it alone can cause you severe botheration if not coped against properly. To be on the safer side under any conditions of an unpredictable weather, the riders must keep the best quality water proof riding gear with them like scorpion motorcycle jacket which is always reliable. A  quality riding gear including helmet, jacket, gloves, pants, boats, etc. not only keeps the riders comfortable but also protects them against occasional flying debris and accidental abrasions on their way. Buying a quality gear is sometimes a drain on your budget but it is always a worthy investment in the end. Additionally, you can perform some research and can get bike parts from sites like BikeBandit.com

  1. Security System

Equally essential is the security of the bike without which no fun would be there. So the riders must have at least three locks with the bike. One is the ignition lock, second handle-side lock and the third one is the wire lock around the front or rear wheel. Moreover, a security alarm will also be quite useful in this regard. It makes a person alert whenever someone touches his bike and, hence, quick security measures may be taken readily. Very attractive musical and radioactive security alarms are available in the market, which may secure a bike quite pleasantly.

  1. Crash protection

In spite of too much care and protective measures, some mishap may happen any time anywhere with anyone. Certain factors may be involved in this crash which may prove very lethal for the rider. Bumpy roads, over speeding, weak structure, careless driving, sudden burst of tyres, etc may be some of the factors involved in the crash. It is, therefore, very much essential for the rider to have crash protections like frame sliders, bar ends, swingarm spools, fork sliders, etc. These protections may prove very much useful for the bikers.

  1. Motorcycle repair kit

During the long road trip, the bike may break down abruptly and the rider may have to face some problem on the way. In this case, there must be a motorcycle repair kit with him all the time so that he may tackle the problem then and there, for it is quite possible that there may be no mechanic around and the rider may have to repair it himself. The kit must have a combo screwdriver, pliers, a pocket knife, an adjustable wrench, spare plug sockets, cable ties, an electrical tape, a hex key set, a nut driver, an adjustable hard lamp, lithium batteries, etc. These things are easier to manage and serve a great deal during any accidental or occasional mishap.

The above six must-have accessories ensure the safe motorcycle road trip and enable the riders to enjoy their journey to the maximum without any fear or pressure of being hit by a mishap whatsoever.
