Prepare the load well
Loading is a rather delicate operation. The motorbike lacks the space to carry everything. You have to take advantage of the bike’s capacity. To do so, you must keep a good balance. Use a backpack to carry some things. Side bags allow you to have extra storage space. Place heavy items at the bottom. High loads are not suitable for the motorbike because this causes a wind grip. Tighten the straps if you use them. Excess straps should be well packed to prevent them from getting in the wheel or chain if they suddenly come loose. Think a week ahead about how you are going to store the items you want to take with you on a camping trip.
Make a road-book
One of the tricks motorcyclists use to camp well is to prepare a road-book. This is essential for the smooth running of the campsite. It helps you identify the different stages of the ride. The names of the roads must be well noted to avoid getting lost. The distances between each change of direction must be clearly identified. The use of a GPS is recommended for good orientation. You should have a road-map available in addition to the use of a GPS. This is a great tip to help you find your way around properly. Don’t hesitate to create written notes to help you find your way around. Entrust your passenger with the role of co-pilot.
Prepare yourself well physically
Riding a motorbike requires a good physical condition. The journey to the campsite can take several hours. Driving a motorbike is tiring. You need to take time to prepare yourself physically. Workout a few weeks in advance. A back with robust muscles will allow you to adopt a good posture. Get a good night’s sleep the night before you leave. It is necessary to take breaks most often to rest and avoid tiredness. Moreover, when you feel signs of fatigue, don’t hesitate to take a break. Adopt a comfortable driving position. You should eat lightly during the journey.
