What should a new rider have when riding a long distance?

I have been known to get a headache due to going long distance with loud pipes and music so I keep ear plugs. Also I have a compact chair, and mosquito spray. I think the best thing I purchased recently was a waterproof duffle bag that I strap to the passenger seat. I can get a weeks worth of clothes inside so I can save my tour pak space for valuables and stuff I need to get to quickly.
Rain gear RainX Soft side cooler (gas station water is expensive) Advil Extra clothes, socks Batteries Phone chargers Headset chargers Soft cloths for cleaning Rode side assistance Extra gloves Protein bars Flashlights
Honorable mentions that you need to carry: 1)Cleaning rags - nothing worse than spilling gas on your tank. 2) shammy - for cleaning water off after rain 3) COVID mask - yes, there are still some places out there that won't let you in their establishment without one. 4) head mounted flashlight - breakdowns don't just happen during the day, and you need your hands free to use tools
I keep a tire patch kit, air pump, tools, riding jacket, spare pair of gloves, a bottle of water and arm sleeves and a neck gaiter. Haven’t done any long trips but have one coming up next month and will put my tour pack on for that.
Video was fire, hope you have a meet and greet for us newbies one day. Maybe a few sandwiches and ice tea or few beers at one of the parks or something………..
Just came back from Daytona, and it was raining from middle of Georgia to Atlanta. But because i listen to the words of the wise and purchased the rain suit you suggest, my wife and i stayed dry and warm and enjoy our journey back home. Thank you for these videos. Looking forward to more of your content and inspiration. 100
Excellent video and advice . My friends and I took a 4 day road trip last wk from SC to WV. And, when we got into VA the skies opened up on us. It was pouring buckets . We had rain gear on but it was raining so hard and our rain gear was black in color with reflective striping we could not see each other in our staggered formation on the highway. So we stopped at a rest area on the highway to let the rain slow down. We determined if we couldn't see each other, then cars or trucks could not see us either. So we stopped at the closest Lowe's and bought some high reflective construction vest and it worked perfectly. We could see each other for some distance. For $20 it was worth the investment. Instead of buying all new rain gear.
Good tips👊 couple humble suggestions for long riders: lubricating eye drops, liquid IV packets, a gator you can get wet and wear as a cooler around your neck, ear plugs for really long rides as the constant noise causes fatigue and fatigue causes mistakes … see ya on the trail👊
I keep a tool kit, rain gear , zip ties , jb weld , a portable charger with solar power on it , Chem lights. I’m a little limited on space due to riding a sporty everywhere but these are the things I carry every time. On long distance , I’ll carry a quart of oil and a gas jug
This is great advise but I also keep sunscreen, travel size toilet paper, self wipes, Clorox wipes "because the bathroom can be pretty gross" , water , phone charger cables and blocks, oil with paper travel funnel, oil rag. See you on the road!
Along with the air pump, you should have a tire repair kit. You could plug up your own flat in the middle of nowhere and ride it to the next shop instead of waiting hours for a tow.
I carry a 1.5 liter fuel bottle in my saddle bag. I don't do super long hauls yet since I'm still on my Honda Shadow (don't hate me...lol...I'm looking at a Triumph Thunderbird Commander 1700 right now) and I don't have a fuel gauge. I know I can comfortably do about 200 miles, but just in case I can't find gas...or a fellow rider runs out on the side of the road, I have enough spare gas to help get me or somebody else home. Great tips, and rain gear is no joke. I got absolutely soaked a couple weeks ago trying to skirt around a pop up shower...and didn't make it...lol.
I always say the headlight is 1 of the 1st things to go on any bike. The stock bulbs just don't have the brightness we need out here on these mountain backroads.
New subscriber, really enjoy your videos. I also keep a small flashlight, a couple of spare bulbs for the tail light, and a small soft cooler ( six pack size) for cold water. Another good thing to have is a pack of baby wipes. Good for freshening up at a stop, and other uses as well. Safe travels. 👍👍
Prepping for my iron butt on the sportster with no bags. Planning on packing a sissybar bag with my rain gear, toolkit, tire patch kit, oil/primary fluid, emergancy gas can, first aid kit, flares, and snacks.
@@JustGKue Thank you. I will. I have a few routes planned out and plan to do the simplest route in a car first to spy the road and traffic conditions. Might try to convince a friend to do it with me for added safety. We shall see. Looking to get my own camera before so I can share the experience. ;-)
I'm ready. So ready, well. No, if I was really ready I would have time and money for the trip. Always had plenty of ways, it's the means I lack. I'm working hard to get there. Getting close. Lord willing I will get my time on the road. 🛣️.
Good tips and suggestions for loan distance riding in my brother Especially the weather app I just downloaded on my phone I use it when I'm riding in my truck until I get my Harley Davidson Road Glide Peace
Have you ever been to Laughlin River Run. . In Laughlin Nevada. . I used to live across the river from it. . Every April they have tons of bikes and folks show up. . I loved going to it. . Lasts a week or 6 days. . It's the spot that had that huge brawl at Harrah's casino. . I like your videos . . Good stuff. .
So true. Great video. One thing you didnt mention but you do have one your bike is a back rest. I have been using one for the last 5 years or so and man o man it is a game changer. Really helps with fatigue. Keep on rollin keep safe ✌️
I made that mistake with Frog Togg's. That was a huge mess. Best thing I've learned to carry is a roll of large trashbags. Easy water resistant and people leave trash everywhere across the USA. Multiple pairs of gloves is a good idea, as well. Having sunburnt hands is a pain, so having thin, thick, and waterproof gloves is a huge game changer. Extra straps or bungee's is a good idea as well. Tools and service manual shouldn't stay home. And a physical road map. Preferably laminated. Phones lose service or battery, but a map is always available.
Also if riding with a group of bro’s , each can carry certain tools and rescue gear between the individuals. Those trains still messing up your vid at that NS rail yard 😂
Great video, thanks for the tips. Myself and the wife picked up a pair of used Sportsters and are up to an Hour out and back rides. Always looking for the pro tips and if we stick to riding, I am sure a bike upgrade is in our futures ! Whoot Whoot
Brother I have a tire repair kit, rain suit, air pump, tools emergency info about me and contact people. Small soap bottle to to make sure hold is plugged and phone charger. My Road Warriors/rides be safe and I hope something on my list help u. Peace and Love ALL PRAISE THE MOST HIGH, BEFORE U RIDE OUT
Great video bro. Me and my daughter was just getting ready to shoot a video like this next week lol . Awesome job because I just got new rain gear and heated gear. Great minds think alike. Have a blessed one ☝🏾
I ride all year around even up here in northeast Ohio, warm gear is definitely a plus. A few things I always keep in my pack is sun block, IB profuren and usually a kickstand plate
I learned a valuable lesson on one of my first long trips that it is highly beneficial to carry with you an extra shifter set! The heal/toe shifter along with the rod.
Another One…..as usual, awesome job on this video. Excellent tips. I’m going to start taking your advice and take those longer rides by myself. You’re right, it’s hard to get other people to ride with you sometimes. None of my riding friends even on a Heated suit other than me. I ride all the way up until the first salt of the roads and then I put my bike away until early spring. That means I’m only not riding for about two months in my area. I love all of your content. Sometimes when I’m working on my computer it’s on in the background and I just binge watch your videos. Keep up the great work. Looking forward to the next one.
Great advice! Every time I get smacked in the visor by a huge bug or bee while riding I’m reminded why I wear a full face helmet. I added a tire pressure gauge to my kit🌟🙏🏽🌟
Aye main say main i been rollen Wicha since that shifter episode its been great to see you come into your own with this you are truly inspirational to South your metaphors will be remembered in time like the sounds of a Rolex. Keep doing your thang #peace army 🦾✌️
Bro these tips are on point! There are lots of “tip” videos but these tips are legit. Nice work man. The only things I would add if I was traveling cross country is a bike cover, bike lock and a kyptonite cable to lock my quick disconnect trunk.
I feel ya on the helmet deal, modular all the way. I have a half lid but I feel safer with modular even though it be hot sometimes then face up with my safety glasses on and ride out. Great video 👍🏽
Great advice for all true riders. Yep...& expect the unexpected 6:18 🤦♀️😂 Love those boots! & best of all, Made in Louisiana 😍 Happy Sunday my friend 👍
Did my cross county trip in 2017...Man..Spare pair of boots is key for inclement weather. Make sure you check your helmet screws throughout your trip if you have a harley modular helmet. My helmet broke in texas and I had to buy another helmet. I didnt budget for that LOL.
What's up G Kue, I'm a new Rider & new to your RUclips Channel. This was good info on the things you need when traveling on your bike. This will definitely get me prepared for a long trip in the future.
I pretty much pack for all case scenarios when it comes to the weather. To me, it's all part of motorcycling... The weather that is. I always carry tools and an extra quart of oil too. By the way, I'm in Gulfport. Care to swap stickers?
I have tank bag on my Vrod Muscle that has rain gear. Has room for extra glasses and gloves and a plastic foot rest for kick stand if I park on dirt or sand to give extra support.
Aaaaand, we're back to being able to "afford". Even tho I haven't done any trips like you, I still get caught in the rain from time to time. I'll ride in anything but snow and ice. I always carry rain gear. Have helmets from, peanut-full face, depending on the time of year. Curious, does your full face protect your neck? Waterproofing all leather can't hurt. Have tools. Gum. Drinks. Bungees. Zip ties. I have limited storage tho.
Thank you for the tips! I’m planning my first rally in Rocky Point Mexico and this helps tremendously! I wear a helmet and bought a new face shield. Today I was so excited to open my box of goodies from Dennis Kirk! Got my rain suit, my hooker, and an tire inflator. But what do you recommend to hold a cell phone?? I have a 2017 HD Sportster 1200t super low.
You a great job brother, keep up the good work! Hit me up if your ever in the ATL! I am thinking about lower speakers I loose some volume at speed👀what’s your thoughts!
I keep the majority of what you have in addition to a small jump pack for battery and puncture seal kit. I like the tips especially pin or peen lock shield. I been using the spray which dose not last long. Great video and keep doing what you do.
Keep oil, oil stabilizer, something to top off when needed. Older bikes burn oil as well as some built motors. Travel with a cooler to carry water, propel to stay hydrated, on long trips it is easy to get dehydrated. Keep some type of food to save money! Filling Station are expensive. Keep some type faceshield cleaner such as rainy or similar. Also zip ties, painters tape (ps: may stain seats or leather in rain. It happened to mines, but I got rain for several days. Get proper rest, start on time early 3 to 4 am and shut around 6 to 7 to eat and get a good sleep. Ride with someone on the same wave lengths. Arguing and disagreements or someone doing there own thing will make the trip MISERABLE!! THATPART, BE BLESSED AND MAY GOD HAVE FAVOR IN YOUR LIFE!!
I am riding from Jacksonville Florida to Pittsburgh next month thanks to your inspiration. I usually ride solo but for a long trip I was thinking my back might hurt after multiple long days in the saddle. Should I get a rider’s backrest or just put a bag against the passenger backrest and lean against it?
i experienced that clutch failing on me one time coming back in from a ride researched and seen that was the issue i have flushed it since then was my first maint thing i had done on my bike since the dealer didnt lol
@@JustGKue yea after that i just took it upon myself to start learning maint stuff ive done a 3 hole change flush and replaced brake fluid as well changed the fuel filter...after october imma do the brakes air filter couple other things
What should a new rider have when riding a long distance? Lmk in the comments.

This means so much to me... the days when I think the videos aren't reaching..I see this....I'm grateful.. and thank you!
Something to drink or snack on. Nice post.
Always
Reda 1 gallon gas can, chaps, air compressor, 2-3 sets of glasses, bungee cords. Those are a few things that come to mind. Great content bro!!
I try to keep a few bungies and zip ties!
Excellent video and advice .

Oil and gas is a must especially heading west!
Great practical video with no sales pitches. Just real info!! Thank you
Yea I just wanted give a Lil overview bro...not shoving products down ppls throats lol
Suggestion: Before your next distance ride do a what's in my bags video
I shall!
🤔aight taking notes just got me stratoliner not to long ago and Im definitely learning alot .
Just a baseline to go off of. im left somethings out.
This is great advise but I also keep sunscreen, travel size toilet paper, self wipes, Clorox wipes "because the bathroom can be pretty gross" , water , phone charger cables and blocks, oil with paper travel funnel, oil rag. See you on the road!
Agreed!
I got to tell, you make REALLY great videos. You take the time to explain what your talking about. BRAVO!
Thank you so much!
Highway pegs, comfortable seat, comfortable grips, taller windscreen better handlebars and good suspention.
People definitely forget about the windscreen!
Along with the air pump, you should have a tire repair kit. You could plug up your own flat in the middle of nowhere and ride it to the next shop instead of waiting hours for a tow.
Yep. Have that as well.

I can't wait for the day you can truly get out and be free with your bike for days on end!💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
I definitely have to find a king tour pak. And you just made me realize I got some more things I need to replace from the theft
I hope you get it all back and more!
tire plug kit and small air compressor...great video...
Thank you!
Great suggestions
All good advice. For rain gear, waterproof gloves also. Amen about full face helmet! Not just for protection from flying objects but rain also.
Forgot about the gloves! But that rain can be brutal on your face man!
Good tips and suggestions for loan distance riding in my brother Especially the weather app I just downloaded on my phone I use it when I'm riding in my truck until I get my Harley Davidson Road Glide Peace

No.1 before you go check your tire pressure at cold condition. Safe travels on you G !
Very true! Thank you and ride safe!
So true. Great video. One thing you didnt mention but you do have one your bike is a back rest. I have been using one for the last 5 years or so and man o man it is a game changer. Really helps with fatigue. Keep on rollin keep safe ✌️
Your absolutely right!
We keep water to hydrate when riding in hot weather, a map is handy in case electronics fail or misleads😂 and a flashlight. Great video 👍
Agreed! I stop as needed for water and need to get used to keep a map
I made that mistake with Frog Togg's. That was a huge mess.

Surf wet suit works wonders
Bro, appreciate the good tips!!!
Thank you!
I ride all year around even up here in northeast Ohio, warm gear is definitely a plus. A few things I always keep in my pack is sun block, IB profuren and usually a kickstand plate
Totally agree!
I learned a valuable lesson on one of my first long trips that it is highly beneficial to carry with you an extra shifter set! The heal/toe shifter along with the rod.
Definitely! That's huge

I keep wipes as well!✌🏾✌🏾✌🏾
Well done G great information on motorcycle touring!!
Thank you!
Great advice! Every time I get smacked in the visor by a huge bug or bee while riding I’m reminded why I wear a full face helmet. I added a tire pressure gauge to my kit🌟🙏🏽🌟
Sometimes those bugs feel like rocks when they hit my helmet! 😁😁
Aye main say main i been rollen Wicha since that shifter episode its been great to see you come into your own with this you are truly inspirational to South your metaphors will be remembered in time like the sounds of a Rolex. Keep doing your thang #peace army 🦾✌️
Man I appreciate that! Yea you really been here! Thank you so much for sticking with me.
Very informative video. Yes I had the frogg togg and burned right through. Immediately upgraded to a Heat Resistant set
Man them frog toggs are not for riding lol...they tear up so quick!
I know if I ever get a bike my big brother got me covered on everything I need to know before hitting the road. Keep up the great work!
You already know! 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Bro these tips are on point! There are lots of “tip” videos but these tips are legit. Nice work man. The only things I would add if I was traveling cross country is a bike cover, bike lock and a kyptonite cable to lock my quick disconnect trunk.
Thank you!
You are absolutely right a out the locks! Great suggestions!
Preciate that......I did not have the tire patch kit and needed to update my tools. Another banger video, keep pushing!!
Preciate that brother!
Enjoy your videos..Where did you get the rain suit with heat resistance? The brand? That was very informative.
That one was from a company called Milwaukee. I put the link in the description to check it out.
I feel ya on the helmet deal, modular all the way. I have a half lid but I feel safer with modular even though it be hot sometimes then face up with my safety glasses on and ride out. Great video 👍🏽
Exactly. I mean we only get one head. Might as well take care of it! Thx for watching.
No bs on the heated gear AND that full face helmet. Great video big dawg keep up the great work
Gotta keep that full face man!
Great advice for all true riders.
Yep...& expect the unexpected 6:18 🤦♀️😂 Love those boots!
& best of all, Made in Louisiana 😍
Happy Sunday my friend 👍
Thank you! And wouldn't want to be made anywhere else!
@@JustGKue Same!
Well done bro 💯💯
Thank you!
Amazing video. The information shared is priceless. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you brother! Feel free to drop your must haves in the comments.
Did my cross county trip in 2017...Man..Spare pair of boots is key for inclement weather. Make sure you check your helmet screws throughout your trip if you have a harley modular helmet. My helmet broke in texas and I had to buy another helmet. I didnt budget for that LOL.
Wow! Definitely didn't think about that
@@JustGKue yup! LOL. every other gas stop I would check it..I open and close mines alot depending on the weather!
Ignition switch housing alignment tool (handlebar lock problems)
Never would've though to keep that on the bike
What's up G Kue, I'm a new Rider & new to your RUclips Channel. This was good info on the things you need when traveling on your bike. This will definitely get me prepared for a long trip in the future.
Thank you so much. I'm glad you found some value in it!
I pretty much pack for all case scenarios when it comes to the weather. To me, it's all part of motorcycling... The weather that is. I always carry tools and an extra quart of oil too. By the way, I'm in Gulfport. Care to swap stickers?
Sure! Let's link up!
This is Dope!!! Keep Going!!!
Thank you!
Thank you so much for "suggesting"
Take what you need..discard the rest...if it don't apply ...let it fly...
👍🏾real info from a true rider . . so thankful for this channel 🙏🏽 ride safe rider !!!! appreciate 💪🏾
No problem!
This is great information along with all the other suggestions - I definitely need to put together a travel kit - I have some items, not all
Glad you got some value out of it.
Thank you for watching!
Good tips bro!
I appreciate you
I have tank bag on my Vrod Muscle that has rain gear. Has room for extra glasses and gloves and a plastic foot rest for kick stand if I park on dirt or sand to give extra support.
Definitely need that kickstand puck
Aaaaand, we're back to being able to "afford". Even tho I haven't done any trips like you, I still get caught in the rain from time to time. I'll ride in anything but snow and ice. I always carry rain gear. Have helmets from, peanut-full face, depending on the time of year. Curious, does your full face protect your neck? Waterproofing all leather can't hurt. Have tools. Gum.

Great informative video!! One question....what hotel did you stay in St. Louis?? Thank you!!
Um not sure I can get it to you tho.
I always carry snacks, water and electrolyte powder for water (pedialyte). Getting hangry or dehydrated can cause major problems on a road trip.
Very true! Great tips
Big inspiration GQUE
Thank you!

@@baska2k9 I have ground zero 6.5s and I hear them loud and clear
I keep the majority of what you have in addition to a small jump pack for battery and puncture seal kit. I like the tips especially pin or peen lock shield. I been using the spray which dose not last long. Great video and keep doing what you do.
I keel a Jump box as well!
Good stuff bro!!✌🏿
Keep oil, oil stabilizer, something to top off when needed. Older bikes burn oil as well as some built motors. Travel with a cooler to carry water, propel to stay hydrated, on long trips it is easy to get dehydrated. Keep some type of food to save money! Filling Station are expensive. Keep some type faceshield cleaner such as rainy or similar. Also zip ties, painters tape (ps: may stain seats or leather in rain. It happened to mines, but I got rain for several days. Get proper rest, start on time early 3 to 4 am and shut around 6 to 7 to eat and get a good sleep. Ride with someone on the same wave lengths. Arguing and disagreements or someone doing there own thing will make the trip MISERABLE!! THATPART, BE BLESSED AND MAY GOD HAVE FAVOR IN YOUR LIFE!!
Yessirrr great list!
I have a quad lock to attach my phone to the handle bars and it also charges as it is attached and I have a cup holder for water
Great suggestion!
I keep a pair of binoculars for sightseeing
Never thought of that!
Good job
Thank you!
awesome video
Thank you!
I am riding from Jacksonville Florida to Pittsburgh next month thanks to your inspiration. I usually ride solo but for a long trip I was thinking my back might hurt after multiple long days in the saddle. Should I get a rider’s backrest or just put a bag against the passenger backrest and lean against it?
Both. The riders backrest may flex a bit...having the bag provides additional support 💪🏽
Agree with all of it.
Thank you
