Want to Go For a Motorcycle Bike Trip - What You Must Carry?
Among all the paraphernalia of a bike trip like mapping and planning the route, checking the weather forecast and planning the sightseeing and activities, the most important thing is to pack your bag and take all the things of relevance and significance.
This is very important because the nastiest thing that might happen on the trip is that you might end up with a flat tire or an exhausted engine since the weight of the baggage could not be supported on the bike.
The following packing tips are some of the many that you might find helpful on the trip:
1. Only take clothes such as motorcycle jackets that are absolutely necessary. Hear the weather forecast carefully. Then you will know what kind of clothes you should take with you. If the weather is supposed to be cold then please take enough motorcycle jackets and warm clothing items to keep you warm.
2. In case of things that serve the same purpose but one is heavier than the other I is obviously good sense to take the lightweight one and not the heavier. Always remember to travel light when you are on a motorcycle trip.
3. Take everything in small portions. If, for instance, you have to take any medicine or any lotion, take the required amount for the whole trip in small bottles. Don't take the entire bottle in the bag.
4. On the way to the trip you might find yourself in places, which are absolutely devoid of human habitation. So you won't get any convenience sore in these places. Therefore, pack in enough energy bars; trail mix and water, which will keep your energy boosted and your thirst quenched.
5. Attach the heavy and dense things at the bottom of the bike, close to the side so that the weight gets centralized. But put the lightweight items like pillows on the top of the bike.
6. Although saddlebags or tank bags are the best options to carry luggage but in case you don't have that you can use bungee nets for packing. That's a good idea.
7. Please keep in mind the load limit of the bike. If you overload the bike then that will break down the suspension, brakes and wheels. This will make it difficult for you to run the bike smoothly.
8. Line the luggage with plastic sheets to protect it from the rain or moisture. Make sure that the rain gear is close at hand so that you will get it easily once it rains.
9. It will be good sense to keep items of regular, frequent and emergency use in the right saddlebag. This bag is more easily accessible so thins like water bottle, cellular phone or maps should go in here. Keep the items of lesser use in the left saddlebag like sleep items and spare clothes. If you try to reach the left saddlebag on the road it will place you closer to the opposite traffic.
10. Make sure not to keep bags close to the exhaust pipe. A slight brush with the pipe might burn the bag and you will not be left with any extra clothes but just ashes.
Definitely, when you pack for a bike trip you need to be very aware and particular about space utility. There is limited space unlike a car of RV. You have to take all the things without making the bike too heavy.

Can you help me find the right motorcycle/bike/ninja for my husband?
I know nothing of bikes except for the fact they are dangerous and my husband wants one. Normally, I'd make him research my heart attack on his own but I love him, and he works hard defending this country so I need some help. Here is what he likes:
1.) Speed
2.) Safety ((haha that is mine))
3.) Longevity (will last a long time)
4.) More compact things but can seat 2
5.) Preferrably something with a storage.
What are the differences in the models?
What brand should I look into? What kind?
He had a fancy for ninjas awhile back which I am sure he still has. Are there other competitive brands out there? What kind of ninja is the best kind?
Just please if you know of any terms I can research, ANYTHING I'd appreciate it. I know its hard to write a "motorcycles for dummies" book on here but I'm great at researching if I at least know a little bit about it.
What does this "compression ratio" mean?
"bore and stroke"?
"Displacement"?
And what are the typical types of engines out there? What are the differences?
How long do these bikes typically last if we choose to buy used?
Thanks again.
I'm sorry, I suppose I didn't think to mention that. We are both rather short. He is 5'8" and weighs 150's. He's very much in shape and runs more than anything. His legs are the strongest so...his lower body works better than upper :D
Also it is hilly where we live in CA. I'm not sure if that matters or not.
