Hi everyone,
Four friends and I are planning a 2076 miles trip to California from Wisconsin riding our bikes. We had all done 300-500 miles trip but had never gone beyond that so need some advices and tips on a few things. All five bikes recently underwent safety/maintenance inspection checks, oil change, etc this last weekend in anticipation of the trip in one week. What are some things we need to bring along in case of emergency out on the road? Some of the more basic things comes to mind and we have these prepared: First Aid Kit, GPS, cell phones, rain gears, and extra clothings. Do we need to worry about bringing along an extra motorcycle chain, brake and clutch lines, etc? Tools to perform the maintenance? I want our group to be sufficiently prepared for this trip.
Last but certainly not least of our concerns is that one of our rider is going on his 07 250R. We are slightly concern that his 250R may not be able to make the long haul. Anyone has experienced with the 250R on long trips? The bikes we're riding on the trip is 1 Suzuki 750, 2 650R, 1 Yamaha FZ6R, and the 07 250R. Any tips/advices for this trip is most welcome. Thank you.
