i was thinking of taking a small road trip with my bike, this will be the first time i've gone this far.

i'm planning on going about 550 miles round trip, about 4 1/2 hr driving time each way.

any tips on road trips? what to bring etc.

do you have tank bags?

 

[samsonskeg]

camel pack. Your going to need it

Just go and have fun, bring a camera and take pics too!

A tank bag is handy, you'll need a drink from time to time, camel back is handy, but a drink of some sort in your tank bag, tailsection or whatever will work.

A tire plug kit and bicycle pump can't hurt if you have a safe place to keep them .

If you use a tank bag, pack it so that its flat and somewhat soft on top, that way you can lie down on it comfortably.

Raingear!!.....carry it and you should have blue skies. Leave it at home?...you have a shitty time.

yeah i live in metro detroit (michigan), i'm driving up to the sand dunes and back

In that case, you'd better bring a paddle tire with ya, unreal hookup in the sand!

is that as fun as it looks?

How about you take a spare pair of wrists and butt! You'll need them after doing that kind of distance on a ninja 6 !!!!!
