    Nice, great lessons learned. I carry pretty much most of the same things you spoke of except I really do need a jumper….but I did get a portable tire inflator so I guess its ok. 😂
    Speaking of long rides, I rode out to the Hometown Rally in WI last year from MD and was fortunate enough to meet you. I’m making the trip again this year, will we be seeing you again?

After this trip I do appreciate and see the benefits of wearing one for long trips! Its a must! I didnt feel as beat up and fatigued from the sun and wind. Great info here, great video

  • @bobhartman2571
    @bobhartman2571 2 года назад +23

    Thank you, Tall. Great advice. Some really good advice. If I might add something in place of a carrying a rag, is to carry a towel (old times riders always do), and a pack of wipes, 1st aid kit.

    • @TravelingTall
      @TravelingTall  2 года назад +7

      First aid kit, I should have included that.

    • @BadDadio

      Instead of carrying a towel, I carry an imitation shammy. It takes up a little less space, plus it has a plastic container for storage.

  • @MichaelSmith-eq5lf

    Great vid Tall! John Maxwell has a vid on how to find your service code. My bike went into limp mode, I found my code, called my mechanic & he told me to do what you said in the video!
    Also carry batteries for your key fob. Could be a simple & cheap fix if your bike won’t start. I change my fob battery every spring.🤙

    Yeah it’s some great tips there. I’ve been riding cross country for the last 14 years since my wife passed away. For example, last year I left Homosassa Florida and April 15. I went out to Lake Mead pulling my camper behind a bike I camped in Lake Mead, and then I went back to New York State with my other daughter, lives to spend the summer.

  • @raphaelhernandez1073
    @raphaelhernandez1073 5 месяцев назад

    Great advice! One of the things I carry as well is a portable air compressor by Lexin. It's compact, helps inflate a tire if the fix-a-flat can runs out, AND if you've stopped for about 30 or so minutes you can recharge your Sena headset.

  • @wooddawg4868
    @wooddawg4868 Год назад

    I love your videos that cover many topics. Harley Davidson motorcycles no matter the year are overly hot , overly labor intensive 1950’s/1960’s technology no matter the new fancy paint jobs.
    All other manufacturers have ride modes, better screen technology, liquid cooling and full counter balancing. HD’s Revolution Max format is that upgrade that’s coming like it or not due to ease of maintenance like single oil fill and 1 hole draining.

  • @Thomas-vh9th
    @Thomas-vh9th Год назад +1

    Arriving at my buddy's house after a 36 hrs, 1600 mile trip, things were okay, until I laid down. Twenty-five minutes later, both calves starting cramping really bad. I was dehydrated. I chugged a couple 12 oz. bottles of Gatorade he had on hand and within minutes I was okay again. This Rider is spot-on with experiences and riders' tips. This is a very valuable channel for those planning long trips. For monitoring, I have map sharing with Google maps so family knows where I am.

  • @Delzona
    @Delzona 2 года назад +3

    Some of the best information I've heard for distance traveling on a motorcycle!! I think a "how to" video on to properly jump start a motorcycle would be very helpful. I've had to do a couple times and the first time was a disaster since I tried jumping the bike using a car!! It took screwing up my bike to learn how to jump start correctly.

    • @daleleslie1049
      @daleleslie1049 Год назад

      It is fine to use a car to jump start a bike, the only thing you MUST do, make sure car motor is NOT running, this way you are using only 12 Volts, same as bike. There is too much power coming from car alternator if car motor is running...just saying
