Before you set off
IF you are using a tank bag, fill up your bike BEFORE
you start loading up - It makes life easier.
Check your tire pressures.
If you are going away for a week or more and intend on
putting several miles on your bike, you may want to check your bike in for a
quick service.
If you are going away for any length of time, it may be
worth your while making a note of a dealer or mechanic close to your
destination. This can help if you need any forgotten equipment or if you have
any issues during your stay. Check out BIKE UK (
www.bike-uk.net
) for regional motorcycle businesses within the United Kingdom.
Check the legal requirements for travel to your destination, for both YOU and
your bike.
